How much is the average wedding cake?

Someone correct me if wrong but I think the average cost is around $2-$3/serving.

Yeah, I priced with two bakeries, and they both quoted $3/person. $4 for fondant.

Mine is going to be just under $200. It's a significant part of my budget! Best wishes

Like a lot of things, it depends where you are. Prices I've been given start at $6/serving for buttercream and $7 for fondant.

Ive been getting quoted in norther indiana for 2.25 per person

In Atlanta I have been quoted $4- $6 per person

It honestly depends on the bakery. Im a baker and I have known places to start at $3/person and others to start at $7 a person. You want special designs, flavors, fondant and real flowers, its going to make things more expensive.

My cake was more like $3.75 a person because we went with a specialty flavor for 1 tier and we did a special filling for all tiers. Otherwise, Im doing simple piping which for our bakery didnt cost more.

We received quotes anywhere from $3 per slice to $12 per slice. And this was all for buttercream. We wanted to stay around $3-$5 per slice.

It depends on location. Where I am, it's $5-$9/ person depending on the cake and the bakery.

Mine is included in my venue package. But if we opted to have an outside bakery make it they would give us $2/slice allowance and we'd have to cover the rest. So that makes me think that's about average.

We are paying $450 for enough cake to feed 85-100 people. It's fully fondant with a decent amount of detail though.

Our cake was $785.

We got quotes btn $3-$6 per slice

I've been in the throes of getting cake quotes and am probably ditching it for budget issues as many of you know. Here it ranges from $5-8 a slice after taxes.

ETA: In Hawaii

In Seattle the average is $6-12 per serving depending on how detailed it is. $6 is basic buttercream and the it goes up from there.

I paid $300 all in for a 3 tier Publix cake that will serve 40 w/o the top tier.

This is the cake we ordered only 2 tier , was $112 serves 30-40

Ours was included in the per person charge. My sister's contract said she had to pick-out a cake that was at least $8 per slice (it was an a la carte menu). She chose one that was $9 (buttercream) then there was a service charge, and tax on both.

We are paying about $160 for a two tier cake and 2 full sheet cakes, with different flavors for each. The price also included delivery.

We were quoted $375 for a 3 tier cake and 4 sheet cakes. The tiered cake starts at $2.75/serving, but increases if you want extra designs.
