I was wondering what everyone paid for their fondont cake?? We're having about 120 people at our wedding and are looking at a 3 circle tier cake. A cake comes with our package at the reception hall, but they will not do fondont and was thinking about ordering one instead. Thanks!
I think at most RHs, if you choose one of their cakes but have it done in fondant it will cost about $100-$150 extra.
It can get pretty expensive depending on which cake designer you go to particularly in the city areas. Fondant usually goes for more than butter cream. I wouldn't recommend it for summer weddings, it will melt right off the cake.
We liked the look of fondant, but a lot of people say that it tastes either funny, or just not as good. We met with our baker, and he told us he can make the buttercream frosting look just as smooth (and showed us cakes where it was just as smooth as fondant), so I think we are doing that.
the cake was included in the RH, but i believe i had to pay $300 extra for a fondant cake.

How did the fondant taste? I am nervous about this.
I believe fondant is $150-200 extra at my rh
I don't necessarily remember a funny taste when I've had fondant on a cake. The texture though I am definitely NOT a fan of. I love it...until I'm chewing on it.... JMO

just my honest opinion! but if it is a good bakery then the fondant should be awesome! and it is edible!! most bakers won't put inedible things on their cakes... there are people who just don't like it.

I've baked cakes and decorated with Fondant. it's kinda like playing with a sugar form of play-doh. It has no real taste, it gets flavored (usually vanilla) by the baker as they are making it. Some fondant therefore tastes better than others, and I personally like the fondant made from scratch much better than the all ready made one that you can buy. Overall, it is edible, but I do not usually eat it. I think it does have a weird consistency when I'm eating it with cake. I use it for decorating and don't expect people to eat it.
