$500-$600 cake? How much did yours cost? And for how many guests?

Madelayna, on March 27, 2017 at 2:07 AM Posted in Planning 6 43

I haven't looked into cakes yet as I haven't chosen a venue yet but a lot of venues that include cakes on wedding-spot cost from 500-600 dollars but how big are they? How much did you pay and for how many guests? I'll have about 100 guests. Thanks! Also- if you did cupcakes what did the cost come to?

    Yeah that is about right. About $5 per slice is average. It depends on your area as well as the intricacy of cake design and fondant vs buttercream, etc.

    We ordered a 3 tier buttercream cake (10 inches, 8 inches, 6 inches) with 70 servings. Total including delivery was ~$600.

    Our baker was more expensive because she does everything from scratch. Plus she has a $500 minimum for all cakes during the peak wedding season.

    Best cake I've ever tasted!

    We saw about $5 per slice, give or take a dollar. Akron/Cleveland area. Cupcakes are cheaper.

    If you go out to eat and order dessert, how much would you expect the dessert to be if it was a specialized/gourmet slice of cake? Probably $5-6 dollars, right? That's the cost of most wedding cakes.

    I honestly don't know what the cake is causing because that's included in our venue but I am adding a little something for my future husband on there and that itself is $35
