I've ordered the past few cakes for our family parties at Albertson's and they look great (they made me an ombre cake before it was "in") and their prices are great-- and they're delicious! I think that cake would cost me around $25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262414 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:28:47 +0000 Chillybear 2262414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok now i'm not feeling so bad about the cost. She quoted me $60 total - $40 for the cake + $20 for the custom stuff on top. I guess i was just hoping to spend under $50. esp since its her 2nd birthday and not as big a party as her 1st birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262400 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:09:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2262400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I wish we could do mini but they dont bake mini on site so they just come in the holiday colors that are shipped in :( </p> <p>We are also doing bear Rice Krispie treats and some bear sugar cookies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262395 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:06:43 +0000 Mrs D 2262395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: you could totally do this yourself! Seriously...buy a plain round cake, drizzle with ganache.....freeze store bought frosting...scoop it out with an ice cream scooper and top with a cone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262394 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:05:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2262394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local grocery store does some customization, and I can see them doing this for about $30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262391 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:03:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2262391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: hahah cute!!!! Are you getting all regular sized? I think I'm going to do one dozen regular and one dozen mini for the kids since I'll also have other sweets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262388 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:59:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2262388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Thats my dilemma this morning too! Publix will also do free flavors if you want them flavored. </p> <p>I think we will just do vanilla and either white or baby blue frosting. For his "Bear" party I am going to press a teddy graham on the top. Done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262385 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:57:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2262385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: haha me too! I'm going to get them from Wegmans which is always good. They'll even do colored buttercream frosting for free! I haven't decided if I'm going to take advantage of that or just get white and add some DIY toppers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262374 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:49:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 2262374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I got some quotes for cakes and couldn't believe they were asking so much! I figured for a 2 year old it didn't matter that much so I made my own that I found on Pinterest and it was a huge hit!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262356 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:33:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2262356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes, I was shocked our local bakery wanted $66 for 2dzn cupcakes (just plain not speciality flavor or decorated). We are just going to get them from the grocery store for $17 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262355 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:33:27 +0000 BandDmommy 2262355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under $100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262353 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:31:54 +0000 regberadaisy 2262353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a quote for 24 cupcakes and that was $50 so I voted your most expensive options since it's custom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262346 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:28:23 +0000 Adira 2262346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a bakery, I'm guessing it's around ~$3/slice, so a cake that feeds 20 people would be about $60. So I thought $50-60 is probably a fair price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262327 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:18:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2262327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: The top part looks like maybe just a brownie with the cone on it and then maybe some extra brown frosting and then pour/drissle the hard shell ice cream chocolate down the sides. I voted that a cake like this would probably run around $50-60 here. But a basic round buttercream cake is probably only $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262324 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:16:10 +0000 Chillybear 2262324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I'm not that skilled.... my cousin used to work at this bakery and I asked her first if she would do it but she'll be back at school and wont be able to help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262322 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:14:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2262322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a way you could order the basic cake and add the top part yourself/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-cake#post-2262321 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:13:59 +0000 Chillybear 2262321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking to order this cake for my daughters 2nd birthday party and I've gotten one quote so far and it seems high but its from the most convenient bakery to where the party will be, so I'm trying to justify the cost. How much would you spend on this cake? 10" buttercream meant to feed 15-25 people </p> [attach=132/15/nt0y7b.464x600.fd3562cd6c77ec09043f3e2a5797ab6d.jpg]
