I’m paying about 55 bucks per unit, $20 though I can't be entirely certain—I know I had two different bakeries on my shortlist with similar pricing, so after we sampled a few of their pastries, we finally pulled the trigger on one. I can't recall the specific name, all I know is it's located over in Kansas City because my dad tracked it down for us, but the name escapes me right now 😁... anyway, the big thing is they hold a proper license (which is an absolute must for my restaurant), and even though I'm still paying $33 for delivery to the venue, it isn't breaking the bank. Honestly, when you consider that prices in Washington, D.C. start at $23 and go up from there, this is actually quite reasonable—especially since I need to order between 60 and 70kg, so the savings really add up
On the 26th... we’re looking at a crowd of roughly 400 people, but honestly, the cake they bring out can be any size—larger or smaller than the official count—because there will actually be several backup cakes in the kitchen with the exact same design and flavor. That way, when the servers start making their rounds, nobody will even realize the difference 😁 (at least, that's what we were told)
We’ll probably end up with something along these lines—though we’ll likely go with a completely different color scheme 😁
Hey everyone—I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads-up on what the current going rates are for pastries and sweets in the greater Washington, D.C. area? $22/lb seems to be about what I paid at this one bakery I visited recently—and honestly, they were absolutely divine—but I’m looking to place an order soon and want to make sure I'm being reasonable. Whether you're talking about bulk prices or individual items (with or without fancy packaging, doesn't matter!), I'd love some insight. Could someone please help a girl out? 😁

Apparently, they throw in a complimentary cake as part of the package, so I’m curious about what they actually look like—and honestly, I have my doubts that anyone there will even bother asking what kind of flavor I prefer or what ingredients I’m looking for...😁 because I wouldn't want just some random...🙂
My brother actually had his wedding there just a few months back—maybe two or three? Anyway, they were given an address to visit where they could pick out the cake themselves, deciding everything from the flavors to the colors and style... I assume that's still how they handle things. It would be such a shame if they tried to surprise you with some mediocre, uninspired cake, wouldn't it?
