A woman has revealed how her brother and new sister-in-law created a wedding cake for just $50 (£40) by using cheap Costco sheet cakes.

Jessica Hoyle-King, 41, from Texas, took to Instagram to post the picture of the finished product - a beautiful cake, which had four different tiers, cream cheese frosting and a series of beautiful flowers on it.

She revealed that the couple, Jeremy and Gosia Hoyle, bought two $18.99 (£14.96) of the cakes from the chain supermarket and then resized them, added extra frosting and then some leftover flowers to decorate it.

She posted the picture of the cake on Instagram, which got thousands of likes and people applauding the imagination behind the creation.

Jeremy and Gosia Hoyle ordered two $18.99 sheet cakes from chain store Costco and then resized them, stacked them up, added extra icing and some flowers to decorate the creation

The couple had some help from Gosia's brother, Jamie Warley, who is actually a pastry chef based at a hotel restaurant in London, but the steps they followed to make the cake are easily repeatable - as Jessica revealed in her Instagram post.

'It is no secret my bother is frugal...but this wedding took frugality to a whole new level,' she wrote.

'I was able to talk my brother into just “getting Costco cakes and throw some real flowers on it”.

'They ordered two of the $18.99 sheet cakes with cream cheese filling and picked up on the way to the venue before the rehearsal dinner.

'With the help of Gosia’s brother-in-law, (who happens to be a chef in England), the cakes were cut into tiered squares, stacked, re-iced, and arranged a few of the real flowers from the piles of flowers used for decorating (about $10 worth).

The newlywed couple did their entire wedding reception on a tight budget, and relied on some clever DIY hacks in order to save money, without sacrificing things that they wanted

She posted the picture of the cake on Instagram, as well as other photos from the budget wedding, with commenters going wild for the amazing DIY reception

She explained to the Today show that the creation took 'a little over an hour' to create, with the bride's chef brother Jamie taking the time to pipe elegant frosting designs around each layer of the finished design before adding the flowers.

Jessica's followers couldn't believe how savvy the couple had been and applauded how the cake looked: 'Wow!! This is a brilliant idea and beautiful!' one said.

Jessica, who specializes in DIY decor and design, shared details about the cake creation on her Instagram page

While another commented: 'Wow !!!! Amazing!!! This is soo smart.'

Another person said of the rest of the budget reception: 'Gorgeous. I just can’t believe they got something for $10 at Trader Joe’s.'

Others loved the decoration: 'That cake is absolutely beautiful! Your decorations are fabulous!! Congratulations to the lucky couple!'

Jessica added that her how family loved to save money: 'My brother and my whole family are very hands on DIY and save money wherever we can.

'Jeremy and Gosia love to travel (they met while touring Chernobyl!) and wanted to save for their honeymoon (they ended up honeymooning in Rome!) and not spend too much on a wedding. Their flower budget was zero.'

She also revealed that before they were intending on making cupcakes before the Costco idea: 'Their cake budget was “let’s make cupcakes and freeze for the wedding.'
