Cakes

Hello, we are working on our cake and wondering how much we can expect to spend on cakes in the toronto area?  We're having around 100 guests.

Thanks!

    I had a cake to serve 100 and it cost me $300 for 3 tiers - which was much more than I needed to be honest!

    I have 120 guests.  I ordered a 3-tier cake to feed ~ 80 guests (served with other desserts and late-night snacks) and it is $320. 

    That seemed like it was on the low end, I got some quotes for $500-$600.  It also depends how crazy you want the decoration to be.

    I agree that I got a great price from a just starting out cake artist.  The cake shops I looked at tended to range about $600 for the same cake I actually got on my wedding day!

    Dufflet was one of the places we checked out and I seem to recall that they had 3-tier cakes in the $250 range for that amount. Don't forget that you probably won't actually need to order cake for 100, depending on your crowd, what other desserts you're having, and how you plan to set up the desserts (buffet vs plated etc.) It'll probably be fine to order a cake for 60-70 but the baker will make recommendations as well.

    I'm west of Toronto, and my baker is in Hamilton.  Her name is Nickey, she's just starting her new shop, called Cake & Loaf:  <a href="http://cakeandloaf.ca/">http://cakeandloaf.ca/</a>   She's working out of her house or a studio or something until the actual bakery opens (supposed to be this month I think).

    Our 3-tier cake cost $275. We invited 216 people, ordered a cake for about 120 and still had leftovers (aside from the top layer). Her name is Robyn Ward and her email is r_e_ward@live.com. Below is our cake
