cake upgrade costs?

ok ladies, so im trying to finalize the rest of my wedding expenses and I'm clueless about the cake costs.

I get a cake from my RH, (A udreys or BF) but I know I want a flavor upgrade (red velvet) and fondant.

Any idea how much these upgrades can cost!?

TIA!

my guess (and it's just that - a guess) is that it would be about $5-7 extra per slice (per guest) ...

i think fondant upgrades are usually about $3-5 per slice ... i would assume red velvet is another $2-ish per slice.

but again, it's just a guess you can contact your bakery to find out exactly

This is very close to being accurate...I don't know Audrey's specifics, but I ran this by a friend of mine who used to work in a bakery and said nowadays, this is pretty close to accurate.

For my engagement party I had a 2 tier cake that fed at least 150 people... I picked a buttercream cake with cannoli cream on the inside.. When I went in for my last meeting to do the table arrangements, I asked if I could switch to red velvet cake and they told me it was a $600 upgrade.. that was at the Crest Hollow

I believe fondant is at least $2 a person for black forest and $1.50 a person for the red velvet we were there a few weeks ago. We just added ribbon and a filling up grade.
