Have the cakes you're considering priced. Consider the difference in cost between a custom-made cake and a normal cake that's just creatively decorated. You could conceivably save significant money that you might need in case you're planning to have anything leap out of the cake you select.

Check to see whether your caterer can include a suitable cake as part of a package deal, if in fact you're hiring one for the evening. If you're planning dinner at a restaurant as part of the evening's festivities, inquire with the restaurant's kitchen manager to see whether the staff can have a cake made in-house. You might realize considerable savings, even if it means a compromise.
