GET A GIANT COOLER!! and then have the cake like pop out, haha. P.S. Nick I can see you’re house from here!
Bakeries deliver early in the mornings because of the dread of melting in the heat of the summer. It depends on where you are, but you might question the baker for suggestions. You might have to get a trusted friend to deliver your cake at the last minute. But that means they miss the ceremony. This is a tough one. I’d start by asking the bakery for suggestions.
wedding cake usally cost between $2-$5 dollars a slice
i dont know about the bugs though excellent luck
As HIS! suggested, question the baker or question a trusted friend to bring it out at the last minute. If it isn’t possible, I suggest keeping a small generator (I’ve seen them on the Canadian Tire commercials) and mini fridge in the back of someones van or truck and keeping the cake in there until you need it and having it brought out.
As for cost, that depends on your area and budget and materials (fondant is more expensive than say buttercream icing.)
I’m having a wedding with about 50-75 people and our cake only cost $40. I didn’t hire a professional, just someone with a leisure activity
fondont even though it taste like ‘ick’ will not really melt in heat but i would still place it in the shade.
my cake which is enough for 100+ is $325
The only thing you can do about keeping insects off the food is to place all the food under a canopy that has netted sides. I happen to own one that cost about $125, so you can get them for cheap. But you’d have to buy one – not rent it. I reckon I got mine at Home Depot, but I’ve seen them at Fred Meyer’s, Target, and Wal-Mart, among other places. Then you could set up tables with all the food on it and just let people go in and out to serve themselves. You can take up the netted sides once it’s ready for people to really eat. They just tie back.
As far as the cake melting, there is always at least a half hour between the wedding ceremony and the reception – unless you walk straight out from the ceremony to the park. This only happens if you are married in the park or the church or venue upons up on the park. Still, 30 minutes is the expected minimum time for people to get there and start eating. The cake doesn’t come for another half-hour to hour.
So, you can keep the cake at someone’s home or in the church’s fridge if you are getting married at a church. Someone will have plenty of time after the ceremony to go get the cake and deliver it to the reception. Many people would probably be glad to do this for you to help you out on your day. Don’t stress and delight in your day.
My cake fed about 50 or 60 people and cost $30. I didn’t want anything fancy. It was three layers white cake with white icing. We decorated it with rose petals and a topper.
You can probably get a simple cake made by your grocery store bakery for $300 or at a professional bakery for $750-$900. This would serve about 150 guests. It depends on the cake flavor, decorations, etc. Usually it’s about $2.00-$4.00 per person. You can also opt to get a smaller wedding cake plus a sheet cake or grooms cake. Not sure what to do about the bugs or heat though. Excellent luck!
My wedding cake is feeding 300 people, it’s a 4 tier red velvet cake with buttercream frosting, and we also needed one sheet cake (to be in the back) and it cost us $735 at a bakery.
As for your situation, I really agree with HIS.. question the bakery, I’m sure they’ve had to deal with a similar situation before! Excellent Luck!
Your wedding cake is your dessert so it should be lovely to look at, flavorful, and moist. Wedding cakes are sold or ordered “by the slice” which means how many people are you plotting on serving? Did you invite fifty people or one hundred fifty people to the reception?
If someone tells you that they can bake and decorate a wedding cake for you at $1 – $1.50 per slice RUN the other way as quick as you can. A excellent wedding cake should cost $2.50 to $4.00 per slice.
If you are having a summer wedding, and the cake will be outside for a period of time, there is ALWAYS the chance that the icing will be affected by the heat and the sweetness of the icing will attract “unwelcome visitors.
Instead of a three tiered wedding cake may I suggest decorated cupcakes or cookies or brownies and a fruit tray instead? That should cost a lot less plus it will be simpler to transport and serve to your guests.
Here’s two recent real life wedding cake tragedies . .
Bride and Groom got married on a very warm day. The Bride was forewarned that showing a wedding cake outside on a warm day was NOT a excellent thought but she ignored the warning. By the time it was time to cut the wedding cake nobody wanted to eat it.
At an outdoor ceremony and reception (in a county park) the Groom and his buddies were in charge of putting out the food as the Bride was getting dressed. The Groom and his buddies assumed it was OK to uncover all of the cupcakes and homemade cookies that were on trays. So what happened? The children came up to the tables and helped themselves to the cupcakes and cookies before the ceremony even started. Half of the dessert was consumed before the Bride walked down the aisle.

Cake cost is based per slice and is determined by the complexity of the overall design. The typical cost per slice can range anywhere from $2-$15 per slice. There are 2 simple ways to keep your cake within budget.
1) Simple wedding cakes are obviously less expensive, so choose a simple design with minimal adornments. Fresh fruit and flowers are inexpensive options, while handmade gumpaste or sugarpaste decorations cost more because they are hard to make.
2) If you have your heart set on an intricate design you saw in a magazine, don’t worry that the associated cost will break your budget. Many brides opt for a smaller, intricately designed cake to showcase at their wedding, while simple sheet cakes are held elsewhere to be served to guests.
As for making your cake last:
Opt for a fondant wedding cake over buttercream. While buttercream icing is tasty, it doesn’t keep well in heat or humidity – fondant icing works much better.
To keep bugs away – is it possible to place the cake in a screened-in area? Putting it under a tent or overhang may help. Maybe try to place citronella candles in the vicinity (although not so close that your cake smells like citronella!)
