How Wedding Cakes are Priced
Wedding cake prices are not typically given out as a total cost per cake. Now I did look at some brochures for wedding cakes from some local grocery stores, and they did show a picture of a wedding cake and give a price for that cake as seen in the picture. That however, is not your average case. Most bakeries will charge you a “per slice” fee.

There are lots of people out there, in my family especially, who will swear up and down that cupcakes actually taste better than regular larger sized cakes. Personally, I don’t know if they taste better or not, or if it’s just a mental thing about having your own little cake - but I guess it doesn’t matter too much. When my cousin got married a few years ago and wanted a cupcake wedding cake for his groom’s cake, our family wasn’t really surprised at all. It had been my first time seeing a cupcake wedding cake, and it actually went over pretty well. Turns out, that a few years ago, you really didn’t see bakeries offering cupcake wedding cakes as part of their portfolio. That’s because brides just weren’t interested in having cupcake wedding cakes, else they didn’t know that they could be done in the place of regular wedding cakes. But wouldn’t you know it, give it some time and now it seems that cupcake wedding cakes are really where it’s at right now. Here are frequently asked questions about cupcake wedding cakes to help you decide if they are right for you or not.
I must admit, I’m a bit of a traditionalist at heart, and I wanted to have a beautiful traditional wedding. I wanted a huge white wedding dress, my dad to walk me down the aisle, and everything that went along with it. I have to admit though, I I nearly faltered when I started planning for our wedding cakes, and what kind of cake they would be. Let me explain. I love chocolate, and I can’t plain white cake. Really, even birthday cake…if it’s not chocolate than I really don’t want a piece of it. It’s crazy, but I guess it’s a girl thing or something. So, when it came to planning our wedding cake flavors, I really didn’t want a plain white wedding cake. I wanted my husband’s groom cake instead, chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries. My husband, by the way, hates chocolate. It’s a crazy mixed up world we live in, isn’t it? And then I wondered, ar chocolate wedding cakes for brides even possible? Turns out, the answer is YES!

It’s always hard to tell just how much everything should cost when you’re working on your wedding planning. I know that before our wedding I had never had to host a party where I was serving food to 150 people, and I really wanted to make sure that I was getting a good deal for the amount of money that I was spending. Like most young couples, we were on a fixed budget, and wanted the most wedding that we could get for our money. One problem that I really had to deal with when I was doing my wedding planning was to figure out what good wedding cake prices were, and how to tell if some of the bakeries I was visiting were wanting to overcharge me on their cakes or not. So if you are going through what seems like endless brochures and pricing sheets on wedding cake prices, and still feel like you don’t know anything about them, I’m here to help you out. Here are some average wedding cake prices, and some different things that can rack up your wedding cake prices.
