Not too bad for our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-708403 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:59:53 +0000 rachiecakes 708403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After getting the runaround from two local bakeries, I'd was short on time and just ordered a 'whatever' cake from the supermarket. I was expecting an ugly white sheet cake. They actually made it pretty cute considering (48 hours notice, I told them 'winter wonderland' theme). I was very pleased. </p> [attach=1845/13/ml3wvu.600x588.cake.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-708380 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:55:02 +0000 littlek 708380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: That is my favorite movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-708378 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:54:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 708378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$80... our friend is amazing with cakes and made us a gorgeous UP! themed one. i always thought $80 was pricey for a cake, but after reading these responses i guess it's not!</p> <p>here it is:</p> <p>[attach=85/13/ml3wo1.279x416.Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-12.54.53-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-708368 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:52:12 +0000 littlek 708368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are spending around $400 for cake, cupcakes, etc. I think it's high but the lady does good work.

Poor girl, whatever I made, I hope it's edible! BTW, I don't bake so ... yeh. Haha!</p> <p>As for the cake we'll serve, idk, maybe we'll just buy one from the bakery or have BIL bake one for us.

Craziness!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-707903 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:32:42 +0000 tysonja 707903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: that's pretty good! esp for gluten+dairy free! yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-707894 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:31:19 +0000 prettylizy 707894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered a smash cake and 24 cupcakes (all gluten and dairy free) because I didn't want to mess around trying to make it myself and have them taste terrible. She did a rosette cake with a fondant plaque for the smash cake and fontant medallions on each cupcake for $100. It was worth every penny to save me the stress and I'd say that is mid-high for our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-707890 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:29:23 +0000 tysonja 707890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for LO's first birthday i think i will either make a cake (~20-30$), or buy a round cakeof some kind at costco, take off the cheesy 'decorations' and re-decorate it in a more modern/stylish way -- :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-707881 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:24:48 +0000 jennylynn 707881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made her one myself so I think I spent like 10$ total for everything? :) I did a separate cakesmash session with a different cake, and I wasn't totally satisfied with how that turned out, but I loved the one I made for her actual party! Glad I had a test run!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-cake#post-707875 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:22:26 +0000 Freckles 707875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, is that considered a lot in your area? </p>
