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.

  • $ 100 or less Lower range
  • $ 500 Average cost
  • $ 350 - $ 685 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.

We had a wonderful experience ordering our daughter's wedding cake from Cafe Ficelle. Madison, the pastry chef, was an absolute pleasure to work with from our first inquiry all the way to the big day. She provided a beautiful sample box at a reasonable price so that we could try five different cake flavors before selecting. She cheerfully and promptly answered all our questions and helped us find the best option for our vision and budget. She provided excellent communication and was very reliable and accommodating throughout the process, even delivering our cake later in the day so it wouldn't be out in the heat as long. The cake we ordered was beautiful and absolutely delicious! We would highly recommend Cafe Ficelle to anyone looking for a wedding cake.

Jocelyn from Big Red Bakery came through in a huge way and provided us with the wedding cake of our dreams. From consultation, design, and execution, she was exceptional throughout. When we provided her with our design inspiration, she provided a “draft” design that we loved so much that it practically turned into the final version. We simply had no notes. The cake arrived safe to the wedding and was an absolute masterpiece. It was covered in intricate and beautiful flowers, and was so stunning in design and execution, we loved it. On top of being absolutely stunning, the cake itself was delicious. A timeless design, taste, and execution that we’ll be remembering for a long long time. If you need the highest quality of excellence for any baked goods for any occasion and want something truly memorable, go with Jocelyn through Big Red Bakery, we could not recommend her enough.

Extremely professional, responsive and amazingly tasty cakes! Viktor Benes Bakery provides old school customer service. If only all businesses had this level of customer service and quality of service!!! Our wedding cake was beautiful and tasted fantastic. Mona, one of the master bakers, was such a sweetheart. The cake tasting combined with Mona's warmth and expertise sealed the deal. There was no way we would have found a better vender for our wedding cake. The price was at the higher end of the industry average, but the quality made up for it. You can't go wrong with this vender.

Reynaldo's made my dream wedding cake. I had a very simple, southern style buttercream cake in mind. I showed Rey pictures and tried to describe my vision accurately. They nailed it. The cake was picturesque and just delicious. They made 3 layers in our favorite flavors, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry and Peanut Butter & Chocolate. The entire experience of working with them was professional, stress free, and delicious!

As locals and regulars here, when my husband and I got engaged we knew immediately that we wanted Eclair Bakery to do our desserts. With 40 guests, we decided to do a 6 inch cake to cut and 48 cupcakes (4 types/1 dozen each). We brainstormed flavors with Amanda, but to be frank we were so confident in her abilities that we deferred to her on flavors when we booked them. They did not disappoint. Their cupcakes are giant and when all was said and done they were so popular that neither my husband or I even managed to get one at the wedding. I had a couple of friends even comment that the moist cake part was exactly what they've always envisioned a cupcake middle is supposed to be. They are incredibly reasonable price-wise and I have seen some reviews regarding communication challenge but we didn't experience any of that with Eclair and planning our wedding.
