Hi everyone,
I was just wondering where everyone is getting there cake and what they are paying for it? I have a friend of the family that is willing to make me one for a great price and does great work, but the cake wasnt the best. I'm trying to see what else is out there.
Thanks

    We're using Sweet Sophistications. Roy makes amazing cakes. We're paying $5 per slice but there is a minimum of 100 people. You can also have as many flavors as you want. 

    Just to warn you, if you check out his website, it's horrible and not that helpful. I almost didn't call him because it was so bad. But thankfully he's making a new one. :)

    For the wedding cake we're using Confectionery Designs in Newport.  They were the most expense that I looked at, $7 - $8 a slice.  He is professor at Johnson & Wales, which i I consider a huge plus.  He only does one wedding per week, which I really liked.  Some other places I looked into did several cakes a week and some made their cakes as early as Wed for a Sat wedding.

    I'm also using Sin Desserts for the groom's cake.  Because of the intricate design of the cake, we're paying for the whole cake, not by slice.  But I believe her cakes were around $5 / slice for a traditional wedding cake.

    I'm using Diane's Delectables. Her cakes are DELICIOUS and super affordable (I'm paying $1.45 a slice for one of her speciality flavors).  I highly recommend going for a tasting. You get a bunch of samples in flavors you would never think of.

    We decided against a cake: The local baker was $5 a slice, and I didn't click with them like I did my other venders. The cake wasn't even that good! In the car coming back from the tasting, my fiancee and I just looked at each other and said, "Do we even need a cake?" We're considering cupcakes but may just go with a candy table and ice cream bar.

    Dianes Delectables, as someone else mentioned.
    You can't beat her pricing.

    We used Ellen at Wrights Dairy!  I don't remember exactly but I believe we paid around $600 for a 4 tier cake & a small single tier grooms cake.  I would highly recommend scheduling a tasting with her!
