Does anyone have a suggestion for where to get an inexpensive cake? We are trying to stay around $2.00 a slice and it needs to be from a licensed and insured bakery/baker.

We are using Penny Steele Custom Cakes in Medina. Their cake is wonderful and they are licensed and insured. The gal is great to work with. Their wedding cake packages run between $400 - $900, per their website. Check them out.

Oh, and they are having an open house in April. I can't remember the date, but they will be able to tell you.

Dorothy Ann in Woodbury or Grandma's in White Bear. They are both great options!

Roseville Bakery! I'm getting a 3 tiered cake that serves 100 and a sheet cake and a half for about $450 (for my 220 or so guests), so I'm right at $2/slice.

We also loved Denny's 5th Street Bakery and A Piece of Cake. All three are reasonably priced.

I 2nd Roseville Bakery. Their prices were reasonable and the cake tasted fantastic! We did tastings at more expensive places, including Queen of Cakes and Wuollet's, and Roseville tasted as good or better than the more expensive bakeries! Their service was also perfect, everything was delivered and set up exactly as we requested.

Here's where we tasted and what we thought:

Buttercream: Meh. The cakes were good, but I like really buttery, not as sweet frosting, and theirs tasted almost like ice cream to me. Also a bit more than $2/slice, I think.

Dorothy Anns Bakery, Woodbury: Yuck. Sorry, but we all thought it. The cake was dry, the frosting super sugary. Some pretty designs, though. It was definitely in the right price range.

Queen of Cakes: Delicious cake, moist and heavy. Lots of cake and frosting options and beautiful designs. A bit pricey.

Keys Cafe, White Bear Lake: We all thought every cake and frosting we tried here was incredible. They don't do some of the really fancy fondant work that places like Queen of Cakes does, but they've got them beat on price and taste. Per-slice is in your range, too! The woman in White Bear Lake is Celia or Cecilia or something. We decided to go with Keys. If you check them out, tell her Debbie sent ya.

McHattie's Victorian Tea House, Woodbury: OMG, great cake. We only tried the pumpkin cake because she only does one flavor at the tasting, but she bakes a whole small cake and lets you take it home -- all free -- which is crazy but awesome. The filling was like a candy bar - SO good. And the cake itself was like 20 lbs. Unfortunately, cost per slice is upwards of $5-$7. Yikes!

Hope that helps!
