Hi KPO,
does one tier serve all your guests? Thinking of having a 2 tier ... but must be expensive ... yours is already what ... $500 at least?
Suppose i can get my cake from outside, any idea where to get Ok prices & OK cakes???

hi CK,
the cost of the cake was $480+++...10kg was sufficient for my 150 guests...in fact, each guest got quite a decent slice. i heard the prices of the wedding cake can range from $30+/kg to $100+/kg...normal birthday cakes are never so expensive...vendors usually jack up the prices when they hear it's for the wedding

hi THH,
oic...actually, i believe any normal cake shop (i.e. bengawan solo, angie etc.) can do a cake like that...in fact, it's probably cheaper if u don't tell them that it's a wedding cake!
do u need a very big cake? u can always have more than 1 if u need a large quantity...i've seen ppl make 3 small round ones and arrange them in layers using supports for the cakes.

~~ worth to drool over. It's abt SDG25/kg. Different from other choc cakes. Not creamy or fruit nutty. Moist.hi THH,
for our wedding cake...it was just a normal mousse cake with no frilly wedding decos...so, in other words...it's juz a normal cake!
based on my experience...everytime the vendors (i.e. be it shoemaker, tailor, cake shop etc.) hear the words "it's for the wedding"...they are gonna double/triple the cost! so, just tell the cake shop that u need a very big cake for a party of 150 and it'll probably juz cost the normal (i.e. $20-30+/kg)
just a suggestion!

Hi Cheers!
Would you mind sharing how much you paid for the cake and what its weight was?
Thanks much!

I paid approx 48+++ per kg I think.Not too sure about the prices now.My cake was a 2 tier cake (3 + 2 kgs)however, with royal icing the total weight was approx 14 kg !!! Also, I had my banquet at the Regent so they might have given me a better price.Why don't you serve both the desert & the cake since desert will be part of the wedding package for the dinner.I have been to wedddings where they served both.
I wld like to recommend Desserts by Jeffrey if any of you are interested in ordering a real wedding cake. He made a chocolate boston creme pie (sponge cake with custard filling and chocolate icing) for my wedding recently and it tasted absolutely divine!!
He only uses the freshest ingredients.
My guests were queueing for the cake...
Only caveat is that you wld probably have to sort out the cake decor yourself. I used fresh flowers.

I had a real wedding cake - a two-tier brownie cake from The Patissier. Everyone raved about it but unfortunately, there wasn't enough for seconds.
Look for Leong from the Patissier, he's very helpful

I had a three-tier cake from Angies The Choice and it only cost me about $300. You get to choose different flavours for all three tiers. I didn't get a chance to taste it but I LOOOOVE Angie's cakes. It was also finished by my guests so it cant be too bad. Go visit one of their outlets.

Hi Rene,
Well, it wasn't exactly cheap but I felt it was worth it. My cake was 10 kg, at $60 for 1kg, so you can do the math.
IIRC, The Patissier charges per kg, $45 for choc chip (a firmer version of butter cake with choc chips), $60 for brownie and $90 for fruitcake.
They also do mini wedding cakes packaged individually for your guests. I would really have loved that, but the bill would have been astronomical!
Hope this helps in your decision.

My friend had a wedding cake baked by The Cake Avenue. It looked nice but didn't taste that great. The cake was too dry. Hardly anyone touched the cake. I got my wedding cake done by The Oriental Hotel and it was fantastic. Very moist and the guests wanted more.
You can also try out The Fig Leaf restuarant. I know they do wedding cakes and also the miniature cakes. Cheaper than The Patisser. I wanted them to do my cake but the hotel did not allow me to bring in a cake from an outside vendor.

hi wenn, yeah lor.. hey the cake is pretty reasonable.. somemore can feed 260 pple hehehe.. anyway i thot that not possible to do fresh cream with multi layer cake..thot it would be too soft.. guess i was wrong huh..hehee
so in between the cakes wat do u have? fresh cream too?
Hi Wenn,
Where did you have your wedding? Did they allow you to buy your own cake? The hotel that I signed up with forbid me to make a cake outside, which I thought would save some $$. They quite steeply for their in-house hotel cake and it can cost up to $1500 and above for 300 guests!!! I'm reconsidering my decision to have a real cake.
What is the kind of feedback you got from guest on a real wedding cake? I've got some friends who told to not to have one as it's not practical since people would have been rather full after the 9-course dinner. My mum also advise against it. She said it's a waste of money. But I thought it's really romantic to have a real wedding cake of my own!

hi BB,
we had our banquet at Noble House & we were the 1st couple to have a real cake. the guy whom we got the cake from told us that he did supply to some hotels even though the hotel forbid "outside cake"
my guests like it cos it isn't very sweet & just nice after the 9 course dinner. some of them even took 2 slices! the restaurant served the cake together with the red bean soup dessert. my hubby wanted the cake bcos he came from a much more western culture & upbringing.
anybody interested, do email me. will try to reply if possible bcos i'll be leaving for a short honeymoon to bangkok tomoro

hi wenn, u've got a very good deal with your cake - its very pretty. where did u get it from? mine was also real, i dunno if its coz its too small for 200pax, or its too good, the top tier that was supposed to be for us mysteriously disappeared too.
i think its nice to have a real cake, instead of the usual fruit raisin types that people always eat at weddings.
this is from Pine Garden, slightly over $300. fresh cream, chocolate brownie, but i had yam for the 2nd tier for old people.
