PW Guide Article: How to Pick a Baker

We are going with cupcakes from our local cupcake shop, which ended up being much cheaper then the cake fee.  A student of mine also suggested going to Sam's Club or Costco as a wedding cake vendor.  It won't come out like the typical Costco cupcakes you order for your kids birthday party.  They can specially design anything you want, have an assortment of frostings, and I'm sure it will be at a much lower price.  

We didn't think that the cake was such a great deal and chose to save money in that area. We talked to a freind of my sister who is starting her own business, and she suggested that you dont have to have all layers as real cake. So we are only going with 1 real layer of cake to cut at the reception and then it can be served the next day at our family brunch. After asking around to get different ideas on prices we have gone with a friend who makes cakes as a hobbie and is only charging us 1/4 of our original quote. Very pleased.

Who says You have to have cake?!
