Hey ladies, 🙂
I’ve been away from the forum for a little while. It seems things have been quite busy on all fronts lately. 😉 I still owe everyone a photo of that cake (the royal replica version)
. We were more than happy with it—it looked stunning and tasted even better.
Best wishes to you all, 😍

Making a wedding cake that looks exactly like the one Kate Middleton and Prince William had takes more than just a fancy stand... honestly... if you're going to a random local bakery that doesn't specialize in this kind of high-end work (and if it's cheap, then definitely don't expect much...), don't be surprised. Personally... I’d walk right into the shop and demand to see their portfolio of wedding cakes first...

If you actually want an identical replica that turns out perfect... Christian at Magnolia Bakery is the only person you should be talking to...

Good morning, everyone.🙂

I’ve been there, I’ve seen it, and I’ve tasted it. I am more than satisfied with what they offered.
I'm certainly not foolish enough to throw $2667 😉 into the wind. The original royal cake was designed to serve 1,000 people; we are hosting 350. I’m not expecting a carbon copy. I am simply looking for a beautiful, scaled-down replica.
We are having a classic American Midwest wedding where having a wide variety of desserts is a must. The original plan was to have a separate table featuring various other cakes, but this option actually solves that problem for us. 😉

Jacob Martin52 said:If you don't mind sharing, I'm dying to know how much a cake like that would cost here in the States? (And does anyone know roughly how many pounds it weighs?)

I am not entirely sure about the weight, but it is actually composed of 17 individual cakes. To ensure stability, the bottom layers will be something denser, like a chocolate fudge or a rich brownie style, while the top layers consist of creamier options—think Milka-style cakes, parfaits, or frozen mousse desserts. In total, we have 11 different varieties. I reached out to the premier local bakeries (comparable to Magnolia Bakery) and they sent over a quote for approximately $3333. A place called Millennium didn't even bother to respond to my inquiry, which honestly felt like too much drama and almost made me give up on the whole idea.

@roga27 where did you have yours made??

Since our wedding is being held at a vineyard and our chosen catering package already includes a wedding cake, we worked things out with them directly. The additional fee is $1500. My main concern is the stand, as it needs to be incredibly sturdy to support all that weight. Having it custom-made is quite expensive (or at least, that's what 😂 convinced me).
They assured me everything would turn out fine. We shall see. 😉

Carl Clark said:The lady who handles our catering told us to pack about 10 to 14 cookies per box, which I think works out to roughly 8 to 10 ounces.
I suggested sticking with 12—that's definitely the sweet spot. 🤷

Thanks, Crazy. 🙂 It didn't occur to me to count the actual number of treats; I was just blindly focusing on the total weight.😁

We’re going to be serving a smaller batch of a classic Red Velvet cake. Since we have quite a few guests coming over, the main priority was ensuring there were enough varieties and plenty of servings.

Wow, this looks absolutely flawless 🙂
Does anyone happen to know the standard number of cookies one should offer guests? I’ve heard people suggest anywhere from 15 to 25, so I’m feeling a bit conflicted. Also, does anyone have recommendations on where to find the best deals on gift boxes? Thanks! 🙂
