They told me I need enough cake for 140 people across four tiers, and since every layer is the same size, does that mean I'm going to end up with way too much?

How many people do you have on your team?

So, what kind of cake are we talking about?

I mean, when someone hands me a cake, my default setting is "eat it." If there's some weird rule about what's off-limits, I'd at least expect a little heads-up first :P
I didn't hear anyone say it *can't* be eaten; it's more like, obviously you shouldn't eat it because it's garbage

It’s not that it's physically impossible to eat, it’s just that it tastes terrible. It’s like those cheap marzipan candies—sure, they're sweet, but they leave a bad taste in your mouth. Honestly, the cake itself is much more substantial than that frosting

So, $1433 we’re looking at 117 lbs of dessert total. Here’s the breakdown: 44 lbs of assorted pastries (including four 3.3 lb trays for the office and family godparents), two more 3.3 lb trays plus half a cake that stayed off the main table for the wedding party, 66 small gift boxes filled with 10 oz of assorted treats for guests, and 9 lbs of pastries for my own house. On top of all that, there are 4 whole cakes set out for the reception hall. What do you guys think? Is that overkill?

They aren't even charging for the trip to get there. I actually went ahead and checked the prices myself—everything was around $80 or $90, and that’s just for the loaded desserts. Honestly, all I have is praise.

Hi. I ordered some treats from a little bakery called Sweet Gifts over in rural Pennsylvania. The owners are incredibly friendly, a pound of pastries is $20, and their cakes are $60 per tier. The sweets are actually really delicious—has anyone else tried them?
