Average Per Slice Cost for Cake

bettersayhello

I was wondering for anybody that purchased a cake what the price per slice was? 

met with a bakery yesterday and their price is $4.95 per slice.  I was just curious to see if this price is around average or very high.

it is around average there is a bakery in wethersfield chimiri there cake it good too and they start at 3.50 a slice

I am just going w a cutting cake and making a cake tower out of cupcakes @ 1.50 a cupcake

I've found a few that are 2.75.  But generally that is for one layer of cake, the other layers "fake" with a sheet cake in the back.  I'm going with Cakes Unlimited in Torrington....really yummy cakes, and she will do different flavors for the cake that we will cut and the cake that is in the back, so we get more variety.

it cost more money to do a fake out cake part cake the sheet cake in the back your best bet is to shop around and see who does cakes even check out some of the grocery stores i think price chopper does wedding cakes. also check with your venue sometimes they offer cakes with your package i know mine does. if your venue has the cake option it is way less than getting  a cake. i am a cupcake baker and i know a lot about cake prices. ( i just dont make cakes only cupcakes and cake pops)

Hi Better, I am also a St. Clements bride. I am going with Chimurris in Wethersfield, the women Lorena is awesome and the price is good. I am doing one large cake with a large sheetcake in the back (because my wedding is 260 people) and she thought one whole cake that large in July may be too big. I was very happy with my appt with her.
