The average cost of a wedding cake is said to be about $545 by the BAA ( Bridal Association of America). While this is the average cost, wedding cakes can cost as little as $100 and up to more than $10,000! Because wedding cake prices are so diverse, it is hard to put an actual average on the cost of a wedding cake. The fact is, the price of your wedding cake largely depends on the kind of cake, and since there are so many, there is no way to tell you how much you will be spending without knowing the specifications of the cake you are trying to buy. So then, your first step in determining the cost of your wedding cake will be setting a budget. If you do not have a budget then there is no need for you to read this article.

If you ARE on a budget, then you will want to get as many quotes as possible from as many bakeries as possible. Of course you don't want to compare apples to oranges, so make sure that you ask each bakery for a quote on the same type of cake, and make sure what you are saying is clear to them before receiving the quote. If you'd like you can even check some prices online. There are many online bakeries that ship to places all around the United States, and some even ship worldwide! Once you have decided which style of wedding cake you want, and you have gotten a list of price quotes for that kind of cake, you can then calculate the average cost of the cake YOU WANT. Then all that is left to do is to choose either the cheapest, or the most highly acclaimed bakery, or you can choose one that is somewhere in between.
