Hi Ladies and happy Friday!

I'm curious to know how much everyone has paid/budgeted for their wedding cake? As I've mentioned on here before, I have a slight cake obsession (literally, it was one of my first words) so I do want a beautiful wedding cake. However, I've gotten the quote back & she is asking for $700.00 (4 tiers). This includes delivery, but is this normal? Things are adding up & I'd love to hear some feedback before I sign her quote! ?

3 Tiers-all different flavor, set up delivery, etc included. Mine was $256.52

Enough to feed 75 people. We only invited 50 and there were only crumbs left at the end of the night. It was really good cake!

Ours was about $500 including delivery, and that was enough to feed ~125 people, plus 6 dozen sugar cookies (they were "groom's cookies" for H)

$525 or $535 delivery included. The cake fed 165 people. We had the dummy cake for display and we kept the flavors pretty basic to avoid extra charges. It was so yummy!!

@MissEtoMrsB I just saw the original FOTB from 1950 last fall. Loved it!! And it's so true.

Mine was $516 (random) for three tiers and 100 people, different flavors each tier and a fairly basic design and decoration. Includes delivery and a free anniversary cake.

Our cake is included in our venue but we added some upgrades like fresh fruit filling and a fancy design for about $150 for 100 people and 3 tiers with delivery.
