Welcome to the Wedding Epicenter
You're likely on this page because you're interested in learning more about weddings cakes, flavors, prices, set-up, and all the other fun stuff involved with weddings. Here, you'll find more than just cake information. As I have years of experience with planning and running weddings, I've included wedding cake information for all bridal parties and their loved ones, including tips and tricks!

Cake Flavors
When it comes to picking the perfect cake flavors and combinations, it can be a headache trying to please everyone, especially when there can be so many options to choose from. Ideally, the couple should decide what they like FIRST, and then find ways to ensure that their guests will be happy as well.
Here at Frost Eat Love, each tier of cake can be a different flavor at no additional charge for requesting more than one flavor. Consider offering cupcakes or other sweets if it's simply not in the budget to offer a huge 3-tier cake. Guests feel cared for because you're giving them additional options, trust me!
TIP: Another way to keep costs low is to have a smaller tiered cake at the reception, to be seen by all and to be photographed, and to also have a sheet cake in the back for your guests. They will NOT care how the slice of cake looks- they just want cake.
Current Wedding Cake Options:
Traditional Wedding Cake/Almond
Speculos Cookie Butter
Chocolate
Orange Dream
Red Velvet
Red Wine Cake
Lemon
Roasted Banana
Strawberries n' Cream
Bourbon Chocolate
Yellow/Vanilla
Rum Cake
Marble
Carrot
German Chocolate

Wedding Cake Samples
Who doesn't love a cake sampler? It's an excellent way to try multiple cakes at once in order to find out exactly what you like, what you can expect, and more! At Frost Eat Love, you can find TWELVE different flavors (listed above) that you can order online for pick-up, to enjoy at your convenience with your loved ones, this is if you choose to share.
Couples have enough decisions to make when it comes to wedding planning, so I've taken the headache out of couples trying to figure out which cakes pair well with which fillings and flavors. These wedding cake samples have flavors that compliment beautifully. For example, you'll have the option to try the lemon cake flavor, which has been paired with a homemade blueberry AND lemon curd fillings, as well as a cream cheese frosting AND a sweet tea buttercream. NOTE: These are NOT bites of cake, as they are almost full-sized slices.
The samples take a lot of time and money to offer, and they are kept frozen to maximize freshness until you're ready to enjoy. Samples are continuously being replenished as stock runs out. Some flavors will change throughout the seasons, and NEW flavors will be introduced every three months, beginning in November 2022.

Pricing
Who knew that weddings cost money? Here at Frost Eat Love, we don't believe that cakes should cost more simply because they're for a wedding. Therefore, the pricing for wedding and non-wedding cakes are the exact same. 6" tiers start at $35, ranging all the way to 14" tiers costing $100. The final cost will come down to flavors, sizes, decorations, etc., as well as delivery distance. Currently, there are no set-up fees.
TIP: I do NOT encourage wedding cakes to be picked up or exchanged as it is quite obvious when wedding cakes are not set up be a professional who has years of experience, and they are a huge part of your wedding.

Final Recommendations
My own wedding day
April 2022
1) Don't forget that it is about the TWO OF YOU! While everyone will have opinions, try to find a balance between what you want and what would make your guests happy.
2) Though more on a personal level, I highly recommend pre-marital counseling. Many couples may be unwilling to do this because they simply aren't willing to share and really open up. You will both learn so much about yourself and your partner! The fact is that we don't know what the future holds, but taking this opportunity to "put it all out there" will highly increase your chances for a long and happy marriage. If you're being honest with yourself, it's better to have these conversations before getting married to learn how to communicate, compromise, and so much more!
3) Your Big Day will fly by so quickly. Try to take a few minutes after your ceremony and before photos to spend with your partner as you are now married!
If you have any questions, please do NOT hesitate to reach out!
