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.

$ 149 or less Lower range
$ 490 Average cost
$ 350 - $ 657 Most couples spend between
$ 952 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 are absolutely blown away by the stunning oyster-themed wedding cake that Rhi created for our special day! Not only was it a breathtaking masterpiece that perfectly captured our vision, but it was also one of the most delicious cakes we’ve ever had. Every detail, from the delicate oyster shell design to the flawless execution, was truly a work of art. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about both the beauty and taste of the cake—it was the perfect centerpiece for our reception. Rhi was an absolute joy to work with, bringing so much talent, creativity, and passion to her craft. If you’re looking for a baker who can turn your dream cake into a reality, look no further! We cannot recommend Rhi highly enough. Thank you for making our wedding even more magical!

Our wedding cake was beautiful inside and out! Rebecca was so accommodating, flexible, easy to work, genuinely kind and a VERY talented baker and person. Our cake presentation surpassed my expectations. The attention to detail really amazed me because she took my idea and made it into something even better. The cake tasted like the true flavor I requested and the sweet heart vintage shape was perfection. If you’re looking for a baker who will bring your vision to life Rebecca is the one! I couldn’t be happier and I would recommend her a thousand times over!

Flowerchild Desserts was an absolute joy to work with! From the start, the cake tasting process was so fun—though, honestly, it was a little hard because every flavor was so delicious it made choosing tough! As a die-hard chocolate lover, I never imagined we’d go with anything else, but the lemon lavender flavor was so amazing that we ended up choosing it for two tiers of our cake. Of course, we had one tier of my beloved chocolate, which was just as delicious as I’d hoped. She truly brought my dream cake to life, and it quickly became one of my absolute favorite parts of the wedding! If you’re looking for the perfect cake, look no further—Flowerchild Desserts is the best!

We had an AMAZING experience working with the team at RISE Bakery, and we were obsessed with our cake!! We picked up their cake tasting box a few months in advance- the process was super easy. We loved all of the flavors, and ended up going with the lemon option. We gave general guidelines/examples of what we were looking for, but ultimately trusted the RISE team. Our cake was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined! The team was also very easy to work with - always responsive, and went above and beyond as we were working to get the cake stand back to them the day after the wedding. We got fantastic feedback from our guests about the cake, and we’re already looking forward to ordering again from RISE for anniversaries and events in the future!

My wedding cake was very very tasty, and beautiful! Michelle has a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and she readily understood the look we were looking for, and it turned out great! We had a four-tier poppy seed cake with buttercream frosting and lemon curd between the layers. It was covered in swiss dots and a few flowers (from Charleston Flower Market, since that's who did our other flowers, though Michelle was willing to work with a florist she knew to take care of that part as well). It was so soft and fluffy and delicious! Michelle was very easy to work with, and at $4 a slice, I'd say the price was pretty good.

We are so glad that we decided to go with Cupcake Downsouth for our dessert option at our wedding! Not only were the cupcakes absolutely delicious, but they look amazing as well. Our guests loved them and were still talking about them days later! We ordered 10 dozen mini cupcakes and a single layer cake. All came out beautifully and were displayed perfectly. Kaley was a pleasure to work with and we'll definitely be recommending Cupcake Downsouth to anyone looking for an alternative dessert for their wedding day!
