Flour, sugar and eggs cost how much???

Weddings can be memorable to some people in many different ways. Most brides want their guests to leave with a lasting image of the wedding. It can be the flowers, food or even the cake. And when you think about it the cake has a lot of "show" time. It's normally out at the reception for everyone to look at. Even though it will eventually be cut up and devoured I still want it to be pretty. But how much will pretty cost is the question. When my friend Sarah got married about a year and half ago she was nice enough to bring her sample cakes into work so we could try each one out. She was also the first person to let me in on the harsh world of wedding planning. Wedding cakes carry a hefty price tag. How much is too much to spend on a cake? Personally $5.00(and more) a slice is too much but $3.25 is a start price here in Seattle. Any tips on getting the best price for the cake?

Come on now, you can't put a price tag on pretty :o) Go for a smaller display cake and have sheet cakes in the back to cut up. And if you can get away with not telling them it's for a wedding you'll save a bundle. If you say sheetcake it'll cost $X.XX but if you say sheetcake for a wedding it'll cost $XXX.XX, it's insane, it's like there's a wedding tax or something :o(
