She did each sheet cake for like 25 dollars each.. it was awesome.

I saw plenty of couples who had very pretty smaller cake on the cake table for the bride and groom to cut and then the guests were served sheet cakes from their favorite bakery. It was way cheaper than one big cake.

She ended up making us a Ritz quality cake for 150-ish people for only $100.

I had 5 cakes and the grooms cake.

Who cares if everyone doesn't get chocolate? I always like having a choice.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203098063146097285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701492188693379107.post-47154768452610875122014-01-08T09:36:38.346-05:002014-01-08T09:36:38.346-05:00Wedding cakes are INSANE.

We knew someone who baked and they gave us that for our wedding gift, which was great. <br /><br />I have seen people do a very small, skinny two or three tier cake for them to cut (like a mini cake) and serve off of a sheet cake. Honestly, sheet cakes taste better to me anyway!
