Wedding Cake Information and pricing
| All wedding cakes are not created equal. Each slice of a Lakes Cakes traditional torte style wedding cake is comprised of 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling. (Many cake designers/bakeries in the Metro Detroit area provide only a 2 layer, birthday cake style wedding cake.) In addition, Lakes Cakes uses a very generous, unique, serving guide chart. For example: A 100 serving Lakes Cakes wedding cake is invariably larger than the same serving size cake that our competitors offer. The bottom line is that we provide you with more cake for your money. We are fully aware that many wedding cakes today are overpriced. We also understand that these are difficult economic times. It is important to choose a wedding cake designer that offers a gourmet quality, expertly designed cake at a fair price. Lakes Cakes treats it's customers with respect, regardless of the scope or scale of your wedding. Another factor that separates Lakes Cakes from it's competitors is that, in most cases, there is no additional charge for intricate side work design Like the look of fondant, but dislike the taste or price? Lakes Cakes decorators are highly skilled at creating that smooth fondant look with our exclusive, delicious European style buttercream icing. Looking for a unique, one of a kind cake design? Why not use your dress or invitation pattern or design as inspiration. We do not charge any more for this service and it makes for a lovely, personalized cake. Lakes Cakes wedding cakes are without peer in the Metro Detroit area. Our many wedding venues have included classics such as The Dearborn Inn, Henry Ford Estates, The Inn at St. Johns, The Detroit Yacht Club, The Whitney Hotel and The Lafayette Grand . We also have placed cakes in countless prestigious country clubs such as The Lochmoor Golf Club, Shenandoah Country Club, Orchard Lake Country Club, The Bloomfield Hunt Club and Oak Pointe Golf Club to name a few. Some unique, one of a kind venues that we have been fortunate to design and deliver wedding cakes to include River Birch Lodge, Waldenwoods, The Rochester Community House, Indian Springs Metro Park and the Detroit Zoo. . Looking for that hard to find Wedding cheesecake? Lakes Cakes has been creating and decorating cheesecakes that look just like a traditional wedding cake long before it became popular. Please see wedding cheesecake pricing below. In addition to your wedding cake, consider Lakes Cakes for your dessert table and/or edible wedding favors or even a one of a kind, personalized groom's cake. Please call: (248)894-4162 or email admin@lakescakes.com to set up a free, "non- pressured" wedding cake tasting/consultation. Lakes Cakes offers a personal experience in an increasingly impersonal world. You will consult with the person who will actually design your cake so there is no mistake on exactly how your cake will look when completed.
