Typical cost: |
- The average cost of a wedding cake is $543, according to The Bridal Association of America.
- For wedding cakes, most bakeries and pastry chefs charge by the slice.
- A mid-range two- or three-tiered cake in a standard flavor such as chocolate or vanilla with buttercream icing and minimal fondant decorations can run $5 or $6 a slice.
- A high-end multi-tiered gourmet cake with flavored fillings, fondant icing and elaborate fondant, gum paste and sugar decorations can run $10 or more per slice.
Additional costs: |
- Decorations make a big difference in the per-slice cost. Fresh flowers are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to decorate a cake.
- Fondant, which can cover a cake in a smooth, satiny shell, is one of the most expensive; it can add $1 or more per slice. Elaborate fondant decorations increase the price even more.
- Most tiered wedding cakes must be delivered and assembled on site by the baker or a staff member to prevent a cake mishap, and delivery charges can be $50 to $100 or more, depending on distance and size of cake.
- Some caterers charge a cake-cutting fee when figuring the total cost of your wedding cake. Cake-cutting fees can run $1 or more per slice. http://www.costhelper.com/cost/wedding/cake.html
