Congratulations and thank you for considering the Red Barn Bakery to be your wedding cake baker.

Questions to consider:

Deposits are nonrefundable 30 days prior to your wedding date. We're turning down other orders to give yours our full attention. Payment in full is required at least two weeks prior to the wedding date.
Designs and Pricing
We encourage inspirational images, though do not produce exact work made by others.
Every wedding cake is unique! Unfortunately, this means that we can't give you a 100% accurate price estimate on something as impersonal as a website. But we can tell you some of the factors that go into the design and price:
Structure
The structure and size of the cake is the single biggest factor in determining the final price. A multi-tier stacked cake starts at roughly $6 per serving for our basic chocolate and white cake flavors.
6" diameter tier serves about 12
8" diameter tier serves about 24
10" diameter tier serves about 38
12" diameter tier serves about 56
If there is a particularly large guest list, couples can serve a double-layer sheet cake (starting at $2.00 per serving). The serving size is approximately 1”x2” and 3 inches high.
1/4 double sheet serves approx. 48
1/2 double sheet serves approx. 96
Surface
Buttercream (Included standard): Our homemade buttercream is sure to please! It is light and delicious and allows for a wide variety of decorations. The vast majority of cakes you see on our site have a buttercream surface.
Fondant (add $5 per serving): This sugar dough is rolled out and applied to a buttercream surface to give your wedding cake a soft, flawless look.
Decorations
Picture is of sugar flowers. Prices start at $15 per bloom.
Included in the price are simple buttercream flowers of your choice.
We do not place real flowers on our cakes, due to sprays or pesticides that could potentially be harmful to consume.
Sugar figures and flowers, complex detail, and elaborate patterns will be an additional cost.
