I was quoted $300 for a 2 tier buttercream, two basic flavors. I will be providing the flower decor on the cake. Does that seem average? Here is a picture, keep in mind it will be smaller!

Give me some good ones! 🙂

I feel like I need to give some really brief backstory to explain this, so I apologize. So my fiancé and all his siblings have a really bad relationship with their mother. She did a lot of not great...
