Wedding Cake Pricing

When shopping for a wedding cake and considering price keep these things in mind :

The cake professionals time usually begins with a consultation and tasting for the bride.  Once the cake is booked, it involves securing information about when and were the reception is, when the cake professional may set up, possibly contacting and talking with your florist to coordinate the flowers, and reserving the proper stand for your style of cake. Next there is not only the baking, but depending upon the type of decoration chosen,  it could require several days of preparation, followed by the actual icing, layering, support system configuring and decorating of the cake. After that there is the assembly, delivery and set-up to be done.

Cakes are made with high quality ingredients!

For exact wedding price quotes please schedule a consultation.

Many factors influence wedding cake price, a few common examples are:

type of filling or no filling at all

whether or not the cake will be covered in fondant

type of cake, i.e. light layer or rich pound cake, carrot cake etc..

Fresh flowers and the amount needed or handmade gumpaste flowers

amount of labor required to create chosen design

liquor soaked layers

These are a few of the most common things which push the price per serving up or down.

Exact Wedding cake prices are not quoted over the phone or internet as wedding cake details, designs, flavors, fillings and sizes are more accurately and  succinctly handled in person during a consultation.

Cakes are not considered booked and date is not held until 50% deposit is made and contract is signed.

Cake Tastings :

Basic Free consultations are available for Brides. We do not do free tastings for other events.

A note about FRESH!

Fresh! Fresh as in custom made to order....and only when ordered. This means very high quality and amazing flavor. It means items can be tailored to your exact preferences. It means my pastries and cakes are in a class of their own. However, it also means no product laying around in a fridge or freezer. No product to fill a last minute order. It means if you call me and ask for “anything I have that day” the answer is nothing. Nothing unless you placed a custom order for it previously and I have made it fresh, just for you. I purchase ingredients for your order, after you place the order. I do not keep ingredients just sitting around. I buy fresh ingredients and I bake fresh for every order. The difference is worth it. The difference stands out in the first bite you take.

It’s a difference that I believe in,  it does mean I cannot have all flavors available all the time  for tastings,  it does take more effort, it does require some sacrifices on my part, but it benefits my customers and once you taste it you’ll understand - the difference is worth it.

Another site which can help tremendously if you are unfamiliar with cake pricing is www.earlenescakes.com

the prices are about $1.00 too low per serving for current pricing levels as she retired from baking cakes a few years ago and moved to teaching decorating instead. However, the pricing helps you see cost differences based on design differences.
