Planning a wedding in Sims 4? One of the most delightful parts of the celebration is the wedding cake-a symbol of love and joy that your Sims will cherish. But how exactly do you get a wedding cake in Sims 4? Whether you want to bake it yourself or purchase one, this guide will walk you through all the steps and tips to make your Sims’ wedding extra special.
Why Is a Wedding Cake Important in Sims 4?
Just like in real life, a wedding cake in Sims 4 is more than just a dessert. It represents the union and commitment between two Sims and acts as a centerpiece during the reception party. The newlyweds get the honor of cutting the cake first, feeding a slice to each other, which adds a charming interactive moment to your wedding event. Afterward, guests and household Sims can serve themselves, making it a lovely social occasion.
How to Get a Wedding Cake in Sims 4
1. Baking Your Own Wedding Cake
Unlike some previous Sims games, Sims 4 does not allow you to directly buy a “wedding cake” as a special item. Instead, you need to bake it yourself. Here’s how:
– Step 1: Make sure your Sim has access to a fridge or oven.
– Step 2: Click on the fridge or oven and select “Cook.”
– Step 3: Choose to bake a white cake-this is the traditional choice for weddings and gives the authentic feel.
– Step 4: Once the cake is baked, place it on a table with enough space.
– Step 5: Click on the cake and select “Add Wedding Topper.” This topper transforms the cake into a wedding cake.
– Step 6: After your Sims get married, the newlyweds can cut the cake and feed it to each other, kicking off the reception festivities.
No cooking skill is required to bake the cake, so even Sims with no culinary expertise can prepare it. The white cake costs §15, making it an affordable and meaningful addition to your wedding.
2. Buying a Wedding Cake (Alternative Method)
If you’re looking for a shortcut, you can purchase cakes from the Party section in Buy Mode or from bakery venues in the game. However, these cakes are not technically “wedding cakes” until you add the wedding topper. You can buy a cake, place it on a table, and then add the topper to make it perfect for your Sims’ big day.
At bakeries, you can order custom cakes with different designs and sizes, though customization options are somewhat limited compared to baking your own. Keep in mind that custom cakes may cost more Simoleons, so budget accordingly.
3. Using Cheats and Mods (Optional)
For players who want to skip the baking or buying process, cheats and custom content are options:
– Enable cheats by pressing Shift + Ctrl + C and typing “testingcheats true.”
– Shift-click a Sim and select “Spawn” > “Confection Object” to get a random wedding cake.
– Alternatively, download custom wedding cake designs from Sims modding websites to add unique styles and flavors to your game.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Cake in Sims 4
– Size Matters: Consider the number of guests at your Sims’ wedding. Aim for one serving per guest to avoid leftover cake or running out too soon.
– Design and Color: You can customize the cake’s color and design to match your wedding theme, either by baking or buying and then decorating it with the wedding topper.
– Dietary Needs: Some Sims may have dietary restrictions like vegetarian or vegan preferences. Choose cakes that cater to these needs to keep all your guests happy.
– Multiple Tiers: Sims 4 allows up to three tiers on a wedding cake, which can add elegance and more servings but also increases the cost.
How to Use the Wedding Cake in Sims 4
Once your wedding cake is ready and the wedding ceremony is complete, the newlyweds will interact with the cake to cut it. This action triggers a sweet animation where they feed each other a slice. After this, guests and other Sims can serve themselves, turning the cake into a lovely social moment during the reception.

Getting a wedding cake in Sims 4 is a fun and rewarding part of planning your Sims’ special day. Whether you bake it yourself, buy one, or use cheats to spawn it, the wedding cake adds charm and tradition to your virtual celebration. So get ready to create sweet memories and make your Sims’ wedding truly unforgettable!
