Pricing Wedding Cakes

It’s almost a necessity to know what the average prices of wedding cakes are, just for you to make an overall idea of what you can or not afford to buy. It’s true that is a trend these days to have a dramatic, outstanding, grandiose, elaborated and layered wedding cake, but not every couple can afford this luxury.




On the other hand, modern times have brought us a new concept of elegance, beauty and fashion, and this concept goes hand in hand with simplicity, casualty and naturalness. Therefore you don’t need to despair because there are lots of unique and eye-catching designs and styles for modern affordable wedding cakes. Some say that a smaller wedding cake is actually more tasty, creative, inspired, elegant, natural, feminine, chic, stylish and yummier than a big layered one.

So if you’re planning a small, intimate or private wedding, or a more casual, simple and unsophisticated trendy wedding, opt for a small wedding cake, a mini wedding cake, a cupcake wedding cake or an alternative wedding cake, such as chocolate fountains, candy bars, cheesecake wedding cakes, mini wedding cakes, pies, fruit tarts, etc. There are many brides and grooms looking for budget wedding cakes, so let’s find out what the average prices of wedding cakes are, to help you choose wisely, according to your wedding budget.

In general, the prices of wedding cakes are determined by several important aspects, such as the size of the cake, the shape, the style, the theme and design, the flavors and ingredients used, the type of frosting, the decorative elements or the wedding cake’s topper.

But in general wedding cakes are priced per slice. Therefore, a simpler, casual and unsophisticated type of cake might cost around $1.50 per slice, while a more complex, intricate, elaborated and detailed wedding cake might get you around $10.00 per slice. Depending on the capacity, amplitude and character of the wedding, an elegant, extravagant and glamorous big wedding cake can cost you a few hundreds of dollar easily.

But let us give you a few tips on how to choose the most affordable wedding cake by selecting the features of the cake according to your wedding budget. For example, squared or round wedding cakes are more affordable than a hexagonal, oval, rectangular, triangular or heart-shaped wedding cake.

Choose a sponge wedding cake rather than a pound one. Opt for a basic type of flavor, such as vanilla, white or red velvet chocolate, marble or fruit, instead of cappuccino, tiramisu, carrot, German or French chocolate, black forest, mocha, liqueur or coffee. Opt for a fluffy and more delicious, natural and tasty butter-cream or a royal icing frosting instead of a fondant or marzipan because they can be pretty expensive.
