I would do it! Especially since you can't really afford to pay $200 out of pocket to them.
I think it's fantastic since you know she wants to order it from your mom, it wouldn't be one of those awkward gifts like the cousin who got his first DSLR offering to be your photographer, haha.
I agree that, thats a super idea! I wouldnt think it was tacky or anything like that at all!
I would definitely do it! Our cake is being gifted to us by a baker friend and I really appreciate it and it is a detail which makes our day even more special.
I would love to be gifted our cake! I think it's a wonderful idea.
It's such a nice idea, I'm sure that the bride and groom will appreciate having that 200-250 in cash now to spend on another part of their wedding too! :)
I think it's a wonderful, creative idea and I know I would appreciate it.
Totally go for it! I would have loved it if someone gifted us our cake! And it sounds like you may not be able to afford something of equal value from their registry, so this is an awesome solution. I think most brides would love that.
Yay! I am so happy everyone thinks this is a good idea! Thanks for your feedback :)
I think its a great idea (so long as your mom is for sure who they're getting their cake through - I wouldn't want someone choosing my bakery / flavers / etc for me). It saves them a large chunk of money in wedding planning and lets you spend less for the save valued gift you planned to get them.
That's great!!! Our neighbor made the wedding cake and gifted it to my daughter. It was wonderful, and very appreciated!!!
This is a wonderful gift! We have friends that gifted us our cake, and I couldnt be happier to not have to deal with the whole thing! It's not just the expense of the cake... but the responsibility that goes along with the cake (delivery, payment) on a day when we shouldn't have to worry about anything! Go for it!
I would totally do it! I'm getting married in September and my friends mom offered to make my cake as my gift. I get to pick the style, colors and everything! I was seriously so excited and I was very glad not to have to worry about it. Plus, I saved a ton on not having to buy it myself :)
I would too! BUT, I'd probably suggest talking to them about it first to make sure that they're okay with it.
This sounds perfect, I would do it if I were you. My aunt gifted us our cake (she'S not making it but she wrote the check) and it was a really nice present.
I would totally love it if someone would gift us our cake. It would be one less thing that we would have to pay for. I think you should do it. I know they would appreciate it, especially if they are paying for their wedding themselves.
Thats a great idea... Its money she doesnt have to spend and the stress of finding someone to make her cake is gone. :) 2 gifts in one:)
what a great idea! we had my grandmother give us our cake as our Christmas present and it was awesome to have one more thing alread paid for.
Oh, yeah I think it's a great idea.
At first, I thought that your mom was trying to gift them her cake services when the bride didn't have a bakery in mind. I was going to say that some brides have their own bakery already choosen. So it might make the bride choose your mom instead of her own bakery to be nice.
But forget all of that, your friend is already considering you mom. That's wonderful!
Do it!
It's an absolutely amazing idea and even better that they've already picked it out thinking they were paying for it so they weren't jackign up the price or anything knowing it was a gift.
Do it!! That's such a sweet idea... they'll always remember what you did for them!
That is wonderful! My MOH is gifting us a wedding expense that she has a hook-up on and I am more thrilled with that than I could be with anything off our registry!
Thanks everyone!
Here is an update:
They met with my mom and picked everything out, and then my mom told them they didn't have to worry about payment because my FI and I would like to gift it to them. I guess they seemed happy, but my friend hasn't mentioned anything to me at all so I feel kind of awkward, should I bring it up?
My Aunt went to our cake tasting with us and at the end of the appt offered to buy us our cake. We were THRILLED! I think its an awesome idea.

My mom has a wedding cake business. My friend from university is getting married in August and she's meeting with my mom this afternoon to order her cake. My mom called and asked if FI and I would like to gift them their cake, which is worth about 200-250, which is about how much we'd spend. BUT, we'd only to paying my mom for supplies/ingredients.
Is this a bad idea?
ETA: We're in a bad spot financially right now, because FI isn't working for about a month while he takes a course... so this option is really appealing, I'm just not sure if it's tacky or something...
