How much do wedding cakes cost?

Wedding cakes can range from $3–$15 per serving . Tiered cakes are more expensive than sheet cake styled cakes.

How should we cut our wedding cake?

Traditionally, you’d do a ceremonial cutting first, often holding hands on the knife. The caterer then takes the cake away and cuts it into slices to distribute to guests. If you’re slicing it up yourselves, take apart the tiers and cut them into small rectangles. Remember to wrap and freeze the top layer for your anniversary!

How should we transport our wedding cake?

Very carefully! Ideally, your cake will be delivered by your bakery, which should have plenty of experience transporting cakes. You can also purchase special boxes made to protect the tiers.

When should we order our wedding cake?

Set up tastings (the fun part!) around 7 months out. Once you’ve decided, place your order.

A. Cakes Bakery

5.0

Phoenix, AZ

Starts at $450

I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska surrounded by weddings and events. My family owns an event venue there still. I took a detour and played professional golf for a number of years before A. Cakes was born in 2021. It was only fitting that I come full circle and work back in the wedding industry where my heart truly lies. I am in love with the process of learning, practicing and executing new and fun techniques on my clients’ cakes. More than that, creating a cake for someone’s special day gives me the most warm feeling. It’s truly why I do what I do.

“A. Cakes Bakery was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were incredibly adaptable, communicative, and understanding throughout the entire process. The cakes and desserts they created for our special day were not only delicious, but also true works of art. We came from out of town and accidentally had the time for pickup confused with our original time zone, but they worked with us to make sure we could pick it up late. They also have delicious and adorable tasting boxes that helped us find the perfect flavor - we ended up going with a champagne cake and loved it!”

“Our wedding was on April 19th and working with Amanda was an absolute delight from start to finish.

Her desserts were unbelievable, truly some of the best we’ve ever tasted. We’re huge fans of her Chantilly cake with crunchies, blackberry passion fruit tarts, and snickerdoodle cookies. They were all a hit, and we kept getting compliments from guests during the wedding and long after.

Twin Treats

Shelbyville, TN

Twin Treats specializes in dessert tables because we believe options are FUN! We love putting together a beautiful spread full of special treats that are a hit with our couples and guests alike. There is nothing ordinary about a Twin Treats dessert table!

“Amy was an absolute joy to work with! Because my husband is Peruvian American, we really wanted to have a dessert table at our reception (a Peruvian wedding tradition). We spent months trying to figure out how to make it happen without success when, miraculously, we stumbled upon Twin Treats on Zola. We reached out to Amy, who responded within hours. We were in Nashville for the weekend for wedding planning, and Amy threw together a tasting box for us with barely any notice. Every single dessert we sampled was scrumptious - it was difficult to choose only a handful for our wedding reception! For the big day, Amy went above and beyond, even learning how to make a traditional Peruvian cookie (the "alfajor") for the dessert table. She totally understood our vision for our wedding cake, too. The entire dessert table turned out beautifully - everything looked so appetizing that guests actually started sampling the desserts before we had cut the cake! We had to shoo them back to their seats :) We are SO grateful that we found Amy! Twin Treats added that special touch that made our big day extra sweet. If you're looking for a unique, beautiful, and delicious option for your wedding desserts, we absolutely recommend Twin Treats!”
