I am thinking of having my reception at a place that does not include a wedding cake. I find this odd...however, if I do go with this place, I would like to know how much a wedding cake costs from an outside baker?
Ours is for 120 people and it is $800. We are getting a very intricate design though.
I really think it depends on who the bakery is. I have heard of peple getting them for $2.50 a person up to $10 a person. You just have to begin talking to bakers about what you want and getting quotes.
My friends venue does not include a cake either. She can choose to go through an outside source or if she wants to go through the venue baker, then they will be charged $4 a slice. So I guess the total would depend on how many people you are having.
There are ways to keep the costs down if you do decide to get your own cake. For example, you can get a small wedding cake for pictures and your cake cutting and then just have a sheet cake cut in the back for however many guests you'll need to accomodate.
ours was less than 300 and i love the design.
