I was wondering if anyone knew an inexpensive place to get these. I know a lot of ladies use them as favors, but i was wondering..are they big enough to use for the guests instead of a wedding cake? sort of like cupcakes i guess..but im not sure how big they make them? I've seen some really high prices for them like 35$ a piece.. but if i could do them for 5-10(almost the same as a cake per slice anyway) that it might be a cute idea.. and id just get a small cake to cut. I think it would look so adorable to have them put on everyones plate.. or if they are too expensive..maybe just the bridal party.. and i can have each little cake made in a flavor they love!!!! Any thoughts?

Re: mini wedding cakes
I think that a mini-cake/cupcake per guest will come to more than a wedding cake will. Think about it...they'd have to personalize each one and decorate it..sounds more expensive to me but REALLY cute!

I have also seen cookies that are made to look like tiered wedding cakes.

It sounds like a really cute idea, but may be expensive. Making 100 litle ones is A LOT more work and detail than making 1 big one, or cupcakes. Check with some local bakeries. I'm sure they could do it.

Re: mini wedding cakes
its gonna be hard to find it for less...Most wedding cakes are about $5-7 a slice, and many places charge even more...But for those individual small cakes for each person they have to decorate each individual one so comes out to more...You can definitely shop around. I had called seriously about 50 places when i was looking for a cake for e-party, i ended up going with CLM's cake bc it got annoying and also wanted to save the nice fondant cake for the wedding. BUT the cheapest prices for cakes i found were in suffolk county, they charged $4.25 a slice so MAYBE they can make it for somewhat less than $35 a mini cake.

Isn't it crazy when you think of it that way? I worked at two catering halls and been to quite a few weddings...the slice of cake is thin and is SO not worth $5-$7! lol Cheescake Factory charges like $6-$11.00 for a piece of their cheescake..but the pieces are huge and freakin' delicious! lol Mmmm..that's an idea.....Cheescake in different flavors. Tonight's conversations are food-oriented and now I'm starving! LOL

It's an Italian cake which also comes in a smaller pasty. It's flaky layers filled with cream, topped usually with a creamy icing....it's freakin' amazing! Any bakery has them.
