Wedding Cake Prices
What
Should I Expect in Terms of Wedding
Cake Prices? When you are doing your budgeting for your wedding,
you will find that there are many costs for you to consider. You of
course remember your wedding hall and your dress, but have you
considered your wedding cake?
Your wedding cake is going to have a place of prominence in your
wedding and getting the one that suits your taste and and your style is
essential.
When you are thinking about your wedding cake, remember that you need
to consider what kind of dent it is going to make in your budget.
One way that many professional bakers price their cakes will be by the
slice. You will find that this can help you determine how large your
cake is going to be and what your budget might end up looking like.
When you are looking at a cake that has a limited amount of
decorations, a simple icing and a basic shape, this cake will run you
about one to two dollars per slice.
With a wedding of around one hundred
guests, you can get a cake like this for around 200 to 300 dollars.
When you are looking at a cake that has multiple tiers, a more
complicated designs and more sophisticate decorations, you will find
that the price will jump to between four
and seven dollars a slice.
With a wedding with one hundred people, the price can jump to 500 to
700 dollars quite easily.
A cake with three or four tiers, good icing, innovative decorations and
elegant designs can run you upwards of ten to twelve dollars per slice.
This is a cake that can run you into the thousands of dollars, so if this is
the cake you want, make sure that you are willing to budget for it.
Many people who have smaller weddings, though, can get cakes that are
real show stoppers simply because they are spending more money on a
smaller cake!
Remember that choosing a simple icing, like buttercream, will often
drop the price down a fair amount. The plainer your cake is, the less
expensive it is going to be, and remember that when it comes to
decorations, less can definitely be more.
Consider your wedding style and make sure that you think about how well
your cake is going to mesh with it.
When you are thinking about the wedding cake price, remember that you
should speak with the baker that you are working with.
Communicate with them about what you want and make sure that you are on
the same page. Ask them for samples
of their work, and ask them what kind of experience they have
had in the past.
