    I haven’t gotten a quote yet, since they’re closed until spring! But once I get a quote, I’ll definitely let you know! The venue we’re looking at does also offer a sundae bar for $4 per person

    We are having the smallest 3 tier cake available which serves 60 people, and costs about $296 for everything we want. Then we are supplementing with Costco cakes in the back. My venue letting us bring in the Costco cakes the day before so they can refrigerate them.

    Our personal cake will be butter pecan with coconut pecan icing between the layers and coated in cream cheese icing. We have 5 flavors picked for the cupcakes: butter pecan with cream cheese frosting, strawberry half with chocolate frosting and the other half with strawberry, French vanilla with vanilla butter cream, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, chocolate half with strawberry and half with chocolate frosting. Me and my best friend/maid of honor are going the spend the whole day before the wedding making and frosting them all. We're doing about 20-24 of each flavor.

    We have a three tiered cake with three different flavors- bottom tier is white chocolate with rasberry filling, middle tier is lemon, and the top tier is chocolate. The frosting for the whole cake is white buttercream.

    My FH has his own groom's cake-italian cream cake flavor.

    FI got mad at me for this. But I fired back with "Okay, well, did you have any ideas?

    The answer was "no." And so I went with the deal. I also said "I clearly feel more strongly than you do about this, so why don't you let me handle this?"

    "Fine. Whatever."

    The deal was part of our reception venue package which included a $200 wedding cake from their preferred vendors. I looked at the reviews from both "preferred" vendors. I also printed out pictures of what I wanted our cake to look like--not an exact duplicate but in a ballpark. I brought these along.
    I negotiated a 4 tier cake. The first was a lemon sponge with a ginger soak and lemon curd. The second was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. The third was a pink champagne cake with raspberry filling and a white chocolate mousse. The fourth was a marble sponge tiramisu.
    It was expensive. But we knew they weren't going anywhere so we paid the whole thing off in full at an additional 20% discount.

    I know the LA City Council has bought cakes from our bakery time and time again. So I know the bakery is not a fly by night operation.
