So - my budget for a cake is pretty much nothing, beyond what's included in my venue package ($2.50/head).
I went a couple weeks ago to order my cake, and it's very, VERY simple. Just 3 layers, butter cream frosting, fresh roses and ribbon (which I'll even be supplying). When I asked for a square cake, they told me "So are you really stuck on a square cake? Because it'll be $1 extra per head."
At first I said fine, went with the round cake to save having to add an extra $100 to the price of my cake. But then I went home and I was sad because I really kinda wanted a square cake. But I've already added extra costs to everything else in my poor little budget, and it's going to be really hard to save what I've already spent, let alone an extra $100 bucks.
So I'm torn: What's more important? Having a square cake, or saving $100? Does the shape of the cake actually matter in the end? And if so, do you think I should try to get their $1 extra price down a bit, considering it's so simple and I'm even supplying some of the decoration?
And no, I'm not really into looking for another baker, because part of the reason I went with an all-inclusive type package was so I wouldn't have to go interviewing tons of vendors who may or may not deliver to the venue, etc...I've so many other things to worry about, I want this to be easy as possible.
Advice? Opinions?
