    So I obviously can't answer all of these questions...but I can do some! :)

    Where did you get your cake from?
    We're going to get ours from Sweet Memories

    How much was it per person?
    No idea yet. :)

    How many tiers was it?
    We'll probably have 4

    How many different flavors in the cake?
    I think it's best to have 1 flavor because then people won't complain that they want a different flavor.

    Is it fondant or buttercream?
    Fondant, ick! Buttercream or Cream cheese!!

    Where did you get your cake from?
    A lady that does cakes out of her home. Cakes by Caren in Garner NC. Amazing plus great price!

    How much was it per person? 3 pp I believe

    How many tiers was it? It was only two tiers, but we did have a kitchen cake and had shotglass servings of the grooms cake :o)

    How many different flavors in the cake? Wedding Cake = Red velvet cake, cream cheese / buttercream filling with buttercream icing
    Grooms Cake = Chocolate Cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing.

    Is it fondant or buttercream? It was buttercream. I wasn't really a fan of fondant

    If you're already married, was it delicious? Ohhhh yes! We get a free 6" for our 1 yr and I can't wait!!! I really hope she'll let us do the chocolate with raspberry though. . . so delish!

    Anything else you'd like to share? I highly recommend Caren. She worked with us on a very short time like (ordered 1 month or so before the wedding).  She's very creative and great to work with in general.

    Post pictures if you have some!




    Here's her website with our picture : http://www.cakesbycaren.net/images/Cake%20Images/Wedding%20&%20Shower/Hedge_Hog_Wedding_Cake.jpg

    Where did you get your cake from? Nantucket in Durham

    How many tiers was it? Two tiers and a sheet cake
    How many different flavors in the cake? Tiers were lemon and red velvet. Sheet cake was chocolate bliss

    If you're already married, was it delicious? Amazing as always. We purchased additional cakes after the wedding to bring to PA for hubby's grandpa's birthday since he couldn't attend the wedding.
    Anything else you'd like to share? Nantucket was super easy to work with and their cakes are amazing!

    Where did you get your cake from?  Edible Artistry in High Point
    How much was it per person?  She didn't charge per person, just based on size...we paid $434.20 for a 3 tier cake that feeds 116 (her slices are big though, so really it feeds more and the 116 is NOT counting the top tier so you can save it), delivery included
    How many tiers was it? 3
    How many different flavors in the cake? 2 -- one layer was pumpkin spice, and two were chocolate with hazelnut filling (yum!)
    Is it fondant or buttercream? buttercream
    If you're already married, was it delicious? Yes. And looked exactly like I wanted it (I sent a picture)
    Anything else you'd like to share? Elaine of Edible Artistry is a bit difficult to deal with (not very organized and her business sense is minimal) BUT her cake is so wonderful that as long as you have the time to stay on top of things with her, I think its worth it.

    Cake Lady Jill

    $5 - and then $30 for a cake stand but there are no additional charges for decoration or anything.

    Where did you get your cake from?
         The Icing & the cake in Mooresville! we paid $5.75 per slice. We also had a little bit more design and used fondant so it upped the price a little more

    How much was it per person? $5.75
    How many tiers was it? 3 tiers

    How many different flavors in the cake? I think we are going to go with 2 flavors. The one comment said 1 flavor is easier but I think 2 is fine. The servers usually will ask guests which flavor they prefer and it gives guests an extra option if they don't care for the one you choose.

    Is it fondant or buttercream? Fondant. They actually make delicious fondant. I was worried because fondant is not flavorful like buttercream, but they put a thin layer of fondant on and the fondant tasted delicious
    If you're already married, was it delicious? I only had the sample tasting and loved their cake.
    Anything else you'd like to share? I feel like their price is pretty cost effective for the work they do. I wanted a groom's cake and mini cakes for favors. The other places I went to weren't able to go them. They said they can't make the groom's cake I wanted and mini cakes they were charger $15 per cake!! Icing and the cake is charging me $4.25 for the mini cakes. They have soooo many cake stands to choose from and a small set up and delivery fee.
