How much does a wedding cake cost?

Having a wedding cake at your reception is one of the biggest (and sweetest!) traditions. But what does a wedding cake cost? While wedding cake prices do vary depending on the size and style of your cake, the average cost of a wedding cake in the U.S. is around $500 with most couples spending between $300 to $700. While this may sound like a lot for a dessert, you’d be surprised as to how much work goes into creating a gorgeous wedding cake.

$ 45 or less Lower range
$ 350 Average cost
$ 200 - $ 580 Most couples spend between
$ 1,000 or more Upper range

Costs displayed are based on spend from thousands of couples who recently reported pricing for this service within their WeddingWire review. Pricing varies based on factors including, but not limited to, vendor’s experience, level of expertise, event guest count, date, and geographic region.

Which factors impact wedding cake prices?

Not surprisingly, the bigger and more elaborate a wedding cake is, the higher the cost of a wedding cake will be. A wedding cake featuring lots of design elements, including sugar flowers, fondant details, many tiers, and unique shapes, will cost more than a simpler cake with classic buttercream icing, a few fresh flowers, and fewer tiers. While your flavor choice likely won’t have an impact on your wedding cake’s price, requesting certain custom flavors may raise your wedding cake cost a bit.

What is the starting price of a wedding cake?

The starting price of a wedding cake can vary depending on the type of frosting you prefer. Cakes covered in fondant, a sugary paste-like icing, tend to cost more than cakes covered in buttercream (frosting made from butter and sugar). Fondant is more durable than buttercream (and it won’t melt in the summertime!), but it’s generally thought of as less tasty. The starting price of a fondant wedding cake is usually about $5 per slice, while the starting price of a buttercream wedding cake is about $4 per slice. Again, these wedding cake prices will vary even more based on decorations, size, etc.

What’s included in the cost of a wedding cake?

This varies from cake baker to cake baker. Usually, the cost of your wedding cake will include the cake itself, a design consultation where your baker will create a custom design just for your wedding, caketasting, delivery and set up. Some cake bakers will also include supplies like cake stands, cake toppers, and cutting utensils, though you may have to provide these on your own. And some wedding cake prices include an extra top tier of your wedding cake or anniversary cake for you and your spouse to enjoy on your first anniversary.

What types of desserts do wedding cake bakers offer?

About 54 percent of couples choose to serve an additional wedding dessert, aside from or in addition to wedding cake, at their receptions. Cake bakers may offer a variety of these alternative wedding desserts, including cupcakes, cake pops, cookies, pies, pastries, doughnuts, and more—the starting price for cupcakes is about $3 per cupcake. There are also groom’s cakes, which are a tradition particularly in the South. We’ve seen these groom’s cakes shaped like everything from sports paraphernalia to burritos!

When should I hire a wedding cake baker?

We recommend hiring a wedding cake baker at least six months before your wedding day—these vendors do tend to book up quickly! Start by reading online reviews of wedding cake bakers near you, and selecting a few to interview (in person whenever possible). You’ll typically have a wedding cake tasting after you’ve booked your baker, where you’ll select your cake’s flavors.

Working with this bakery was such an easy and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The tasting was wonderful, the planning process was seamless, and they made everything so simple. The funniest part? I only managed to get one bite of my own wedding cake, but it was delicious! Our guests absolutely loved it, and by the end of the night there wasn't any left to pack up and bring home. The cake looked beautiful, tasted amazing, and was exactly what we had hoped for. I already can't wait to come back for our complimentary one-year anniversary cake... and this time, I plan on eating more than one bite!

Lindsey is the absolute best ! She was always so quick to respond and seriously made the whole experience a breeze! My original baker backed out and I was in a rush to find a new one and quick! Lindsey was so helpful and really reassured me that everything would be fine and worked with me even though I swear I was difficult, haha! I started recommending her even before our wedding! The cake turned out beautiful and so delicious! I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Talana was one of the bakers utilized by my wedding venue for the wedding cake. I reached out to her to schedule a tasting and she was very responsive. Her cakes were delicious! And she even made a bonus sample because it was similar to what I had chosen and very popular. So we hammer out the details of what I want in a wedding cake etc. etc. At this point I know she does flowers as well but I've already made arrangements with a florist that has an exceptional reputation in the area. Unfortunately, it became clear that he was also exceptionally disorganized and couldn't keep the details of my wedding straight. I would e-mail him a list of how many of everything I needed and in what colors and his e-mail response reflected something completely different. After many such interactions, I panicked and maybe 3 weeks before my wedding reached out to Talana. She was able to accommodate what I needed, she was communicative and she instilled confidence. When the wedding rolled around the cake was absolutely stunning and the flowers were gorgeous. Everyone commented on how delicious the cake was and how beautiful all the flowers were. She even gave us an extra boutonniere in case we needed it. I cannot rave enough about the quality of her work and how impressed I was with her. I very much appreciate her talent and professionalism.

The Velvet Sky Cakes were a great treat which was liked by guests at our wedding. Their Vanilla Maple and Lemon Blueberry were sweet and flavorful! In collaboration with Party Girl Bake Club, Velvet Sky Bakery did a fantastic job of creating artistic cake pieces which fit within the Aesthetic Vibe of “American Revolution Hobbit Hole”, critical towards matching the vibes of our venue, our family farm at London Purchase Farm. Any wedding should be happy to work with them! ~Dan & Emily

Dawn and her staff went above and beyond to bake a cake with the exact look I was going for! Dawn was so easy to work with and very fair in her prices. She is communicative and upfront about the cost, which is difficult to come by. The cake was also very good! We received so many compliments on the look and taste. We chose apple, pumpkin and vanilla for our flavors and they were all so great. I highly recommend the Cottage Bakery for all your wedding and baking needs! Dawn will not disappoint!
