Let's be real—cake is usually the thing people eat the least at weddings. It feels like throwing money away.

But, if the venue's cake is mediocre, then that's a whole different story.

We haven't actually tasted it yet. We won't get a chance until wedding season kicks off around late April.
I'm just trying to get my head around the budget now so I know if I need to set aside extra cash for a backup cake or not. hahaha

Personally, I think $6.75 per slice is steep.

I agree, $6.75 feels steep, but the cake itself is top-tier.
I called the venue since their cake is included in our package, and they told me they’d knock $1 off my total if I don't use their caterer. That would bring the difference to just $2 per slice, which actually adds up when you're dealing with a large crowd. Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking this one.

What’s the current going rate for wedding cakes? Is $6.75 asking way too much?
