110 people, 4 tier- $4.75 per slice from a local bakery with yummy flavors. hope that helps!
we are doing 4 bakery cakes (round 2-layer, specialty) for $160, plus our parents are making 2 cheesecakes & 2 flourless chocolate cakes (free!) for 100 people...I know it is overkill, but we wanted to have 2 cakes of each flavor so everyone could get what they want....Oh, and we are doing 6 vegan cupcakes from the bakery
We're getting a delicious 3 tiered cake that will feed 100 guests for $300. YAHOO!
The going rate at a top bakery near me is $3.50 to $5 per slice depending on flavors of fillings (real buttercream the least, fresh strawberries the most). So a buttercream cake for 100 people would be $350. It's hard to compare total cake costs - you really need to know cost per person. A cake for 100 at a more expensive bakery could cost twice as much as a cake for 300 from a grocery store bakery.
We're doing 4 small layer cakes, and FMIL is making one of them. The other three run about $50-$60 each. We're using Very Vera in Augusta, GA. They're terrrific and deliever all over the country; however, delievery is almost as much as the cakes (fortunately, I'll be living nearby with my parents).
You didn't have an option for under $100. We got a strawberry cream cake from a local cake and got amazing reviews. I had people asking me months later where I got it. I wish I had some now.

I having a 2 tier cake, its feeding about 65 people with delivery and set up its $180. If you are looking to cut cost try your grocery store bakers first and see what they have to offer. Also if your having a large wedding order just a small wedding cake and than a sheet cake or two to make up the difference as long as its the same type of cake no one will know the difference.
i cant vote because we're making our own! we're just making a small ceremonial one for fiance and i to cut. we're serving cookies to the guests.
Wendy Kromer is doing our cake for 100 people. She's doing sketches etc for us to work on the design and we expect to spend $1000 on it. I reaally love wedding cake though so it's totally worth it to me.
We have a strawberry and whipple cake from a Chinese bakery for 250 people and it cost around $400 including the delivery
well i haven't really bought my cake yet, but we have also started doing the research. i am having a hard time finding a bakery in LA/OC to do the cake for less than $4 a slice. Doesn't sound like much, until you multiple by 250 guests = $1000, not including delivery. It's hard out there for a bride on a budget!
we had a 3 tier cake that served 100 guests and a grooms cake that served 6.
the total for both was $1225.
Its part of my catering package. i'm doing a cake instead of regular dessert, so as long as the design isn't too crazy, its included. If I want to upgrade on the design, then I'll pay extra.

Hi, we are getting a full sheet cake, a half sheet cake, a 12" round groom's cake and a two-tier (12"/8") wedding cake. All of that will feed roughly 275 people. Our final cost was $487 which includes rental of a cake stand.
I live in an inexpensive area, but I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of the cake.
We are decorating the wedding cake with sliced kiwi and chocolate covered strawberries to coordinate with the wedding colors.
We bought cupcakes and 500 cupcakes plus delivery, set up, a resuable cupcake stand and boxes are $400 (include tax).
Guest count is 200. We're having a 4-tier cake (along with a hidden sheet cake for extra slices, for caterer to cut up), mixing layers of white and chocolate.
Sheet cake is $1 per slice, as opposed to $2+ per slice. Made sense to add the sheet cake for the additional slices needed (and great way to stay within budget! No one sees the sheet cake, so it'll be a secret between you and the future hubs).
After decor and renting their (amazingly beautiful) cake stand, our total is coming to approx. $450 thus far.
This is a second wedding for both my fiance and myself and we've been pretty non-traditional. We are having a morning ceremony (10:00 am) followed by a brunch reception. Our wedding cake is coming from the Publix bakery and we decided on a full sheet cake-it is filled with creme and raspberry (it's called Raspberry Elegance)-the frosting has a bit of a pearl sheen to it, our monogram will be on top in a goldish color with a burgendy backgroud. The rest of the cake icing (except for the box behind the monogram) is sort of a pearly white with designs on it-very pretty. We decided on REALLY good chocolate cupcake with rich chocolate frosting for the groom's cake (there will be lots of children there-with a guest list of 114, 36 of them are children!) on cupcake stands on either side of the wedding cake on one table. Since we are a bit older than 1st time brides (we're both 38, will be 39 when we get married), this was the right decision for us. Since all or most of our friends have little kids (including my 5 year old twins) we thought it was more important to have some things that were kid friendly (lol-including my darling fiance-who loves cupcakes too!) All of this for around $150. REALLY. We couldn't be happier!
I'm with Janie. Our cake and cupcakes are free of charge. I love my sister!
160 filled cupcakes = $580.
THey are so amazingly delicious!
We're in Minneapolis.
I can't vote $0. We nixed the cake. We couldn't justify the expense when a dessert table comes with our catering. We'd originally budgeted arount $300 for cake for 100, and with delivery any place we looked at would be twice that. So we went without. We're not really dessert people.
But, maybe I'll break down and buy some cupcakes! I'd make them myself if we were closer to our venue.
I am getting our cake guy to do my cake and a Groom's cake for $600. I thought that was pretty good??
We are having a 3 tier (bottom 2 tiers for guests) that serves 75 people. The cake is from Publix and costs 257 (including delivery).
I am scared of getting price quotes for my wedding cake. Just from my research in the areas nearby, I've found that most cakes go for $3 - $5 per slice. There are many add ons to make it even more expensive, such as designs, more expensive flavors, fondant, delivery costs, etc. Unfortunately, it all adds up to a very expensive cake. I suggested to my fiance that we get multiple round cakes, similar to Mrs. Gummi Bear and serve them on top of nice cake stands. He's not too fond of the idea because he envisioned a three tier wedidng cake.
I think ours will be ~ $400. The baker we expect to go with quoted us $3-4 a slice for buttercream. But, we can cut that cost by having some sheet cake. If I can find cute cake stands I would LOVE to do what Yin is talking about with the single cakes. I love that look, but cake stands are expensive too... so I think we'd come out about the same for cost.
It was part of our catering package, and was the only dessert we served. it was soooo good!! Otherwise though I might have skipped the wedding cake as it wasnt high on my priority list.

I voted $600+, but that's not technically right. I don't know how much the cake itself costs, but we've got a lady at our church making a 4-tiered cake for 100-150, enough cupcakes to make up the balance for 300 people (so 150+ cupcakes), she's delivering and serving the cake, providing 2 punch bowls (with punch ^_^), and mints, and nuts for $700. Definitely a lot better than the ones locally that started at $600 for a very plain cake that only served 150!
3 tier square cake with buttercream for 125 guests cost us about $625.
A girl I know does wedding cakes (I found her when her cake was on the cover of Seattle Metropolitan Bride)...so she cut me a deal (no delivery charge, no charge for extra flavors)...and I didn't try to abuse her generosity. We went for buttercream and our two favorite flavors (2 layers of black chocolate and 1 layer of matcha green tea). We love cake and we tried some from other shops and hers just tasted the best. Our guests were raving about her cake...and I even ordered my husband's birthday cake from her.
4 tiered cakes to feed 200 people (much more than our guest list), but we want a substantial enough cake. Plus, we can always eat it later! Two flavors.
I got a 3 tier cake (buttercream frosting) for 125 people delivered for $240.
I actually got it at a local grocery store that has a great bakery. It was only $2 a slice and $40 to deliver it to my rural venue.
Ours will be comparatively cheap ($5.25 a person) because our caterer struck a deal a bakery. We only have 3 flavor options to choose from, but we were pretty much gonna do chocolate anyway, and we still can, so works for us!

Hi everyone....I'm starting to research bakers and was wondering how much everyone's cakes cost? Could you also give an explanation of the cake and how many people it was for?
thanks!
