    The place we're considering charges $4.00 per serving.

    I'm planning on reaching out in January just because we have such a popular date.

    We booked in March for our October wedding. We are doing a 50 person cake, so it’s only $135 before tax. We are also having her do a dessert bar for us, as we feel the desserts will be a bigger hit than the actual cake (even though it is absolutely delicious!).

    We are just buying a tiny 5" cake from the store my brother manages at. We just want to cut it and call it good. Smiley smile

    I booked my cake about 5 days after we got engaged. My mom is making our cake as a gift to us. It will be a three tier cake.

    Some wedding they have a cake for the groom. Attached was my brother in laws. I’m skipping one at our wedding. We look at it as a added expense we are okay going without.

    I booked my cake 4 months out and we got a 3 tier cake for $750. I would suggest trying local bakeries before paying an expensive catering company. You get the same thing for a lot cheaper.

    I realize that and got super lucky. She is still building her business and was actually recommended to me by two diffrent people. One was my venue and one was a coworker that hired her for her own wedding.
    The cake tasting was amazing, too. She came to my home and brought an assortment of giant cupcakes.

    2 tier wedding cake, 2 tier grooms cake, and 6 dozen cupcakes for right at $500. We booked around 11 months out just because my husband is a truck driver and he only makes it home once a month and she had an opening for when he would be here.

    Just ordered ours for May! Total about 200, the cake is 120 for 3 tiers and delivery they say around 75 (they calculate mileage closer to).

    Mine comes with the venue because I’m having a destination wedding so technically it’s ordered already but I haven’t picked out the flavors or how I want it to look yet.
