I contacted them and asked how much it will cost to upgrade and they told me $400. i can get a whole new cake for that! Post an update when you get back.

I'm not a WM Bride but I wanted to see what this was about :)

The baker for my RH isn't charging me extra to do a mad hatter cake which is fondant and labor intensive.

Negotiate, negotiate!!!

maybe that's why my quote was higher. do you know if WM will give you something else if you choose to get your own cake?

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

dont know about the getting your own cake..i would assume not being that its in the price already and they get nothing out of you getting it elsewhere....i just think cakes are SOO overpriced that its ridiculous to get it elsewhere...I looked and places charge anywhere from $4-12 per slice! CRaZY!

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

I'm on the same boat- i want a 3ft. cake with 6 tiers and Erga said they would charge (around 400$) but really...I am having about 275 guests and when you think about it...400$ for an extra tier and a half???

Cakes by Jay charges about 7$+ per slice and for the size cake I want....it's beyond reasoning to me.

I think they should at least try to accomodate us with something since other places has a 'whatever you want' cake policy. So far they have been great but, the cake thing bothers me too.

What to do, what to do???

i gotta say that the 6 tier thing i can understand charging more for...thats huge! lol as far as other places...I think most are the same...from what i have seen with friends....anyway...I love WM so much...I will deal...plus we get an extra dessert anyway...I just refuse to piss money away for another cake....in this economy I think its just mad!

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

I know what you mean, it's crazy to spend more money...I know 6 tiers is huge but my cake is 4 tiers anyway with the amount of people I have.
I could understand 200$ but 400$ seems a little over the top considering I got soooo many extras!
I think they should negotiate with me, so far they have been nothing but accomodating.

I LOVE WM



who is your Banquet Manager?

thats not bad actually. Fondant cakes are anywhere from $6-8 a slice or higher and if you have alot of guests will end up costing anywhere from 1k-2k, only if you have a small wedding will it be in the hundreds.

I went elsewhere to get a cake, didnt get it from RH. I got fondant and paid $8 a slice, so to pay just $400 for it is not bad. The only way you would pay $400 elsewhere for a fondant cake is if you get a very simple one at $6 a slice and has to be for 65 ppl or under, otherwise its going to be more.

Cakes by Jay quoted me $600 for fondant cake for 80 ppl. Not the fanciest of cakes but i know his cakes are delish. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to get one or just keep the one WM offers.

yeah for 80 ppl a fondant cake wont cost an insane amount so thats good. That means the cake is about $7.50 a slice. I used cakes by jay and LOVED him so i def recommend him just depends on whether or not you want to spend the money on the cake. $600 for fondant cake isnt bad, although when its for 80ppl still is alot. We had a cake for 275ppl and i was wondering if we were crazy for doing this but the cake was real important do DH and I
