Newlyweds are a popular focus in a wedding, but they’re not the only focus. The wedding cake plays a vital role in a wedding, too. Not only does it have to look presentable, it has to taste good. Here’s a sample of wedding cakes you can choose from for your special day:
Traditional Wedding Cake
A traditiona
l wedding cake is created with several layers. The layers represent the number and size of guests attending the wedding. The cake can be simple by being donned with colored, sugar flowers. Or, it can be shaped into any object you wish. A well-known ceremony done with this kind of cake involves the couple cutting it, and feeding the slices to each other.
Groom’s Cake
This cake was invented in Victorian England. The groom’s cake was created as a way to honor the groom since weddings usually center around the bride. It is a small cake made with dark chocolate or fruit. Guests at weddings tend to be sent home with slices of this cake. A groom’s cake legend says that single women who sleep with a slice of this under their pillows will dream of potential husbands. (The veracity of this legend is highly dubious, but if you or any single friends of yours are willing to try this, make sure your home isn’t infected with pests. Also, be sure to scrub your bedsheets and pillow case extra hard when finished.)
Wedding Cupcakes
Wedding cupcakes are preferable to many couples because they smaller and less expensive than a normal wedding cake. Also, unlike traditional cakes, cupcakes offer a variety of flavors such as chocolate cupcakes with vanilla or whipped cream frosting.
Where can I order those beautiful cupcakes?
How much would a three tear wedding cake cost with white iceing with blue rosees going up the side square if u can many thanks
Gavin, great question!
A three tier cake typically feeds approximately 60 people. Most bakeries charge based on estimation of slices. Wedding cakes typically are priced right around the $5 to $10 per slice range. I would expect a nice three tier wedding cake with decorations to cost approximately $300 to $400. You may be able to find a bargain at your local super store or if you personally know a baker who runs his/her own bakery. My spouse and I knew a bakery teacher in the Baltimore-Metro area who gave us an incredible discount on a three tier. However, we could have used our local Sam’s Club/Costco as a second option.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Look at Safeway cakes. They are SO pretty and cheap too! Large three tier is $117 and two tier is $91.50. They have a lot to choose from as well. I went to one bakery and they wanted $1000!!!!! Ridiculous. Its a cake for Pete’s sake!
Good call, Lynne! Safeway is a great option for wedding cakes. They’re super affordable and their bakers usually produce incredible products. If you haven’t seen it, we definitely recommend checking out our Safeway price chart.
Look at Safeway! Google Safeway Wedding Cakes. They are $117 for three tiers and serve about 160 people. Some serve more.
Do you have a wedding cake with raspberry filling? We need a small tiered cake for 25 people.
Your local Safeway. Look it up on line, under Safeway wedding cakes. The raspberry filling is delicious. I always get whipped cream frosting instead of buttercream.
