Wedding Cake Costs
Wedding cakes serving 100 guests can range from $100 to $10,000. So, when ordering your cake keep in mind that more detailing such as intricate flowers or specialized themes is more time consuming for the cake designer and that translates into more cost for the bridal couple. Simpler designs equal less cost.
