Why didn't y'all tell me cakes are so darn expensive?

I hope you are recouping some value via multiple rounds of tastings.

Can you get something besides a sheet cake?

Not that you work there, but you know you are all knowing, H.:)

hmonkey · July 2013

no. but you can get a fancy cake for display and then costco sheet cake for actual eating.

how about a barbie cake and then a costco sheet cake?

NOLABridesmaid · July 2013

That's a thought.

Mmmm Costco cake. If I wasn't coming up on my beetus test I'd eat a whole Costco cake by myself. Maybe I will.

I'm getting two costco cakes (one white and one chocolate) and a fancier round one from a local bakery for us to display and put out cake topper on. And for us to eat... not that anything is wrong with a costco cake, either...

My cake prices went from $325 to less than $80 just by doing that.

My venue included the cake as part of the catering price, but the bakery they used charges $2 a person, which really isn't that bad. If we had paid for the cake ourselves, that means it would have only cost $140. It was also absolutely delicious and beautiful!

We are doing cupcakes and cutting a small round cake. You can make these or buy these from a bakery for a lot cheaper. My sister in law is making ours. Costco sheet cakes are also great.

Our cake for 120 people is $516, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be but it's a lot easier than trying to make cakes or cupcakes ourselves. The money we would of saved I would of lost in sanity lol so it's well worth it.
