How tall should a wedding cake be?

Answer 1

The price of a wedding cake depends on how large the cake is and where you are. A good base price is $1.00 to $1.50 per a serving. A cake for 100 people would cost $100 to $150, depending upon the decorations and where you are.

These cakes are for 1980's prices! your average wedding 3 tier cake for 100 people is much more expensive in 2011. Every bakery will sell the wedding cake by the slice. to that is added the cakes difficulty level, the design intricacy's, prop rental, setup and delivery are either worked into the cake if within 20 miles radius or you could be charged extra. The average price nationwide for 2011 is $4.25 to $6.00 per slice. so for a wedding cake serving 100 people it is $425.00 to $600.00. That is for a butter cream frosted, to a fondant covered cake, both with filling. Fondant is more expensive everywhere. THIS INFO IS GENERALIZED, PLEASE CHECK INDIVIDUAL BAKERIES FOR SPECIFICS. K

Answer 2

Depends on how many people would eat the cake. If you have a tight budget, keep in mind that cupcake-cakes have started to become a trend and are less exspensive, but if you want the traditional wedding cake, for 250 people, I would recommend at least a 4-tier cake.

Answer 3

Check with your local baker/cake decorator about the size of cake needed. Depending upon the cake/size and decorations and extras a cake for 250 will cost upwards of $300.

Answer 4

That depends on the number of people attending the wedding. A wedding cake baker can tell you more.

Answer 5

I think that a wedding cake can be as tall as you want as long as it is appropriately tall.

Answer 6

its hard to tell a cake is a lot of money. it depends on what cake you by what you want on it and where you got it!
