Wedding cakes and desserts

Dana Gomez89 said:Anything and everything. Lucko 😉

thanks!

Just a quick heads-up for anyone looking for the same thing—the Target in downtown Chicago is completely picked over. I talked to one of the employees, and she mentioned everything was part of a massive clearance sale and they’ve already cleared out the shelves. 😢

They're great because the staff is actually friendly and welcoming... which matters to me, I guess.

I really like this little figure:

Just like us, though our crowd is a bit younger.😍

Where on earth did you pick those up?

I’ve been scrolling through the posts here lately, and it seems like most people have much smaller guest lists than mine. I'm looking at about 500 people... so now I’m stuck wondering how big these cakes need to be or even how many desserts I should order per table. To make things more complicated, there are these new certification requirements for baked goods recently. The fines are pretty intense—honestly, they feel a bit excessive—but I guess that's just how the government keeps things running. Anyway, does anyone near the Chicago area know a baker who makes great sweets without breaking the bank? Ideally, I want them to be delicious; I can manage the cost, but there's no way I'm serving subpar treats to my guests. If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them.🙂

I’m totally torn between cake #59 and #20 on this list.
What do you guys think? Give me your best takes!

20...
that second one is a bit too flashy for my taste...

You should check out Kat Lear from that small town in the Midwest; she does my baking, and her stuff shows up at pretty much every wedding I've attended. She'll help you figure out the quantities, too. You can either bring your own supplies or use hers—though using hers is better since she always asks for more than you think you'll need. Don't sweat the size of the main cake, because with a buffet spread like they have at Mimi, you'll probably end up with at least 8 or 9 other cakes on the table anyway. There's someone else in a small rural town, and Ten and Bo both make great sweets. Kat Lear will run you about $1800 (for 400 people), which gets you roughly 20 boxes of 100 pieces plus the cakes... and trust me, you aren't alone, I'm dealing with 500 people too...

fs man, if you’re seriously asking me to pick between those two, I’m going with the 20th one, but honestly? My heart is totally set on 109, that’s the real winner in my book
