A REAL WEDDING CAKE
- Thread starter amy
- Start date
oh, mine is a buffet party too, but my cake is the normal 3-tier cake, not cupcakes. I would expect the cupcake is cut (ceremonial gesture only) in the same manner as normal cake. As long as the knife touches one of the cup cakes and cut it slightly, i thought it shd be ok? hmm.. i maybe wrong...

Hi dear brides...
I've always wanted a 3-tier real wedding cake for my wedding. Thanks to my 2 friends who helped me baked it as a gift... they really did it so professionally.
If any of you interested to view the photos of my wedding cake... do email me...

Kitkioko,
I had my wedding in March... a buffet.. and during lunch time Saturday. Very informal feeling coz the venue is in Sentosa.
After cake-cutting, the cake is put in the dessert area for guests to take. The hotel kept the top-tier for me.
The cake is more than enough (the hotel throw the remaining un-eaten cake) cos the dessert areas also have 2-3 cakes (choc mousse, etc) so my cake got competition a bit hehehe... Also some pp too full to eat cake or don't like cake.

Hi Susan,
You can arrange the cupcakes such that it forms a round shape aka cake shape. Then have a nice stand to make it a 2-tier cake, decorated w ribbons and flowers..... I know a place which sells cupcakes for $2+ per piece. Pretty reasonable. You can PM me for more info.

kitkioko,
Yes, still have the usual 'entrance', 'champange pouring' and 'cake cutting'.... but when MC announce the 'lunch'(in my case) starts, they all heads to buffet spread hehehe...
The food in VIP tables (2 tables, in my case) are served. But both my parents still went to the buffet line and take the other stuff that are not served on the table.
See, when you have normal table dinner/lunch, the number of dishes is prob 8-10 course. But buffet....hmm...prob 10-20 type of food and desserts *yum yum*. I definitely like the variety.. so not stuck with food that i dont' like.

oh ya, abt the cost... it's still the same as normal 'dinner'.
I was quoted $78/person... but i had a friend who had her buffet at same place for only $60/person so i managed to get the same rate.
Wine is provided 1 bottle for each table but the guests told me taht the hotel served the wine free-flow even after 1 bottle is finished...
The rest of the other perks still apply... honeymoon suites, champange, etc etc. Not bad actually....

Hi kitkioko
Mine is located at the sailing club. Outdoor buffet by the poolside facing the sea. Club only offer place, buffet food and tables layout. So i got to find my own PA and lightings. My march in will be a bit different so I am not having champange and just the cake cutting.
Currently it is $45 per pax and it is a international and BBQ fare. We also have a whole lamb roasting beside the BBQ. There'll be servers around. Inviting ard 200 ppl but ordering 130 ppl food. total is approx $8K
Club only charge one bottle wine and the rest i bring myself.

Hi, I have the same question as annpaul and tokyodreams. If we just want a 3-tier cake, it's not enough to go round for 200-250 pple. But if we keep it for ourselves and those seated at the 2 VIP tables, there would be a lot left. So how?

Hi!
I had a real wedding cake (3 tier from Pine Garden) and it was to serve 250 guests. However, in the end my turn out was abt 260 and the cake was more than enough to feed them and for my mum to bring some home.
i think it depends on the crowd too. some like cake some dun.. for me, abt 70% of them like cakes. Plus i served it BEFORE my wedding dinner, during cocktail, hence more ppl will be hungry enough to eat it.
The cost of a 3 tiered cake from Pine Gardens starts from $450.

Summerice,
When i came down aft doing the make up, my sisters and brothers gathered the guests tog and announced that we were going to cut the cake lor... not on the stage area... at the cocktail area. this ensured that my guests came on time.
Actually i learnt this from another bride here.

Yups Summerice, it was specified in the invites.. that's why my guests were very punctual.. heehee... i cut the cake abt 7.15pm abt 60% of the guests were there liao...
i agree some might think its funny having desserts before meal but my cols came straight from the office and they were very hungry so the cake help to fill their tummies a little.
serving it at the end of dinner might lead to many ppl not eating it cos got desserts liao.. plus aft an 8/9 course dinner, u normally would skip desserts. that's wat i observed during other ppl's wedding.. then the cake will be wasted...

Bear ya...since ur is mostly for coll i think its good. For mine i think will be mostly relative dont know the older ppl will they like to eat cake. At first i am thinking of having the cakes for church...but i need to make sure got ppl cut the cake for me.....if not it will be wasted. So i think if i have it in the dinner there will be service staff to do it for me.
Then again for dinner i have to cater a lot more n the cost will be higher...maybe i can just engage a service staff to do the cutting for me. Have not work out how i want it.
What flavor did u get from Pine garden. Any pics to show?

Summerice,
Erm no its not mostly for my cols... most of my relatives came from work or came without having to eat since lunch.. u know chinese dinner, they always start late so it was ok for most.. but i agree that not all elder ppl like cakes.. in fact some cannot eat it cos they suffer from diabetes...
If u serve it during the 2nd march in, will it clash with ur dishes? cos before that the guests were eating something savoury and then they have the cake that is sweet? might be better if u asked the hotel chef for comments..
I got 3 flavours from Pine Garden, the bottom layer is the choc brownie, middle layer is the lychee martini and top layer is the Citrus drops.. sorry no photos.. too kan cheong that day.. forgot to take photos.

Summerice, ya the lychee martini was gd.. better if u call Pine Garden. i think they allow u to have a cake tasting session. i like all the 3 flavours i choose, but if i really have to decide btw them i would choose citrus drops cos it is both sour and sweet at the same time without tasting weird.. dunno how to describe it to u.
Yes i took their GDL cakes too.. they have this nice selection of GDL cakes.. they have exotic flavours like green tea, strawberry shortcake etc etc.. can't rem the flavours liao but its damn nice... may be u can get an aunt to help u cut the cake in church? cos the hotel need time to cut up the cake, abt half an hr...
How big each slice is? erm.. erm... abt 2cm x 6-8cm. not very big.. if its a thick slice, its like not here, not there if u get wat i mean. eat liao not full but not really hungry either. heh... we told them to have 2nd & 3rd helpings if they want...

Summerice, best u give them a call... they would be able to assist u better than me.. there are many types of GDL cakes, but i think i chose the $8.80 per box one for 8 pieces of cake... i think.. can't really rem..
oh if u have 150 guests then a 3 tier cake is more than enough...

Hello Summer, how was the meeting with Petrina? did u mention my name?? heehee..
Wat's a cake topper? i had the acrylic stand to elevate my cake. my $450 cake fed 250 guests, plus i had enough to bring some up to my suite and also my parents brought some back too.. in fact i m saving a big piece of my cake in my freezer to eat it one yr aft my wedding.. its an Irish tradition.
so have u decided? tried the cakes? which one is the nicest favour?

Oh i didnt get to see Petrina. When i reach there Both li keow and Petrina also not around. Waited about 15mins then the auntie take over n bring me up for cake tasting. We even operate the computer to see the cakes, half way li keow rush back n attend to us.
Cake topper dont know if its the right name. The figurine u put on top of the cake. did u have that? oh yours seem to be more worth it...i find it expensive.
If i order for 50pax it will cost me $300, 2 tier, will have left over. 150pax will cost me $360 also 2 tier but different in size. Not decided on it due to the cost.
I like the choco lava, lychee martini, and the citrus drop.

Oh u didn't ah.. nvm Ly Keow very nice too...
i know wat it is liao.. honestly i dun like eating a figurine of myself! wahahaha... but that is just me... i didn't have it..
Well there is no smaller sizes? can they make a cake for $200? how many ppl do u wanna feed? ppl say the 3 tier at Pine Garden can only feed 200 pax, but i have proven that it can feed 250 pax plus leftovers.. so i guess it depends on how big each slice is...
I got the lychee and the citrus drops!
