We're going with James Kennedy from Confections. He's not technically in RI, but he's in Fall River, which is sort of like fake RI. We looooooved him, he is a total sweetheart and we nearly died when we tasted the chocolate and lemon-raspberry cakes he had us taste (and I normally am not such a fan of lemon-raspberry). He'll do whatever you want--the cakes on his website look a little fussy for my taste, so I wasn't sure at first, but he'll totally do plain and simple if you ask it of him. The price he quoted, for a cake with a little bit of decoration and a fondant cover, was more than I wanted to spend but still much, much less than many of the other bakers we looked at in the area.

Here's his website with his contact info (no e-mail, FYI--he's an old-fashioned phone guy): http://www.kennedyconfections.com/

I actually don't know what his starting price is per slice--he didn't give us an info sheet or anything. But he quoted us $645 for a cake for 150 guests with decoration (if you got a plain plain cake I think it would be less), so that works out to be about $4.30/slice. This was for alternating tiers of chocoalte ganache cake with grand marnier and vanilla buttercream and lemon cake with lemon syrup and raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream.
