We have about 75-80 people also and our cake will be $300.00. Sounds like a lot, I know, but it's three good size layers, a small topper layer on the side for us to freeze for the first anniversary, and they deliver it to our site and set it up for us...no worries about a ruined cake on the big day when I am going to be busy with everything else!
Plus it tastes sooooooo great!!!
Go to a bakery and ask for lots of samples...take your fiance with you because this is one part of the planning that he will LOVE to be a part of, LOL! ;-)
congrats and happy life!!

Wal-Mart cakes are pretty good.
They should be able to give you a sample if you ask, and they seemed to be reasonably priced the last time I looked.
Any bakery will let you sample the cakes, but a private bakery is going to be more expensive than Wal-Mart.
What about making it yourself? If you have a "Michael's" or a cake decorating store, in your area you can learn cake decorating from them, they have all of the supplies you will need, and you can make cakes for other people later.
If you know of someone that makes them, that would actually be the cheapest way to go.
I made a 3 tier cake for my parents 50th anniversary and it cost less than $100.00. That was 3 years ago.

If you go to a bakery that specializes In wedding cakes you will pay a lot of money,I live In Conneticut and I have heard of people that pay up to $4 a person.
When I did catering,I would purchase the wedding cakes from a woman that have worked In a bakery and she did this as a side business and that saved the people I did catering for a lot of money and Increased my buisness also because I saved the people I did the work for a lot of money wich I wanted them to use for themselves and enjoy there day and life.
I wish you the best and ask around,you can find somebody that works from there heart,not there pocket.

Average cost starts about a $150 and up. Walmart here makes beautiful cakes, and they tasted awesome. Unfortunately not all Walmart's decorators are as well trained as the ones here. Do some price shopping, and go check out the decorator at Walmart. Visit some bakeries and see what they have to offer.
Prices are based on size, difficutly, time, and what you what on it and in it. So, if you want some kind of a decoration that takes a lot of time then expect to pay more. If you want a cake decorated with fresh or silk flowers, and you do the placing and buying the flowers you pay less.
If you are having a lot of food at the reception, you don't have to have a huge cake. Remember the top layer is for you and your husband to have one your first anniversay. Some couples are opting out of traditional cakes, my friend had a twinkies covered with strawberries, another used cupcakes, my daughter had a basketweaved cake with fresh flowers decorating it(carrot cake too, yuck but that's what they wanted).
So, don't limit yourself, do some shopping around, most bakeries welcome young couples to come in a browse and to see what lovely creative things they can do! Please, have a wonderful wedding, and make it your very special day...don't forget to pamper yourself a little, and take some time for you and your fiance, sometimes you kind of get lost with all the planning........God bless us all.............

You are going to have so much other stuff going on last minute that you won't have the time or patience to make your own cake.
The price depends mainly on where you are located. Larger cities will cost more than rural areas. Also certain flavors and detailing may cost more.
Out of all the grocery bakeries, I like Walmart the best. They're moist and tasty compared to other stores like Safeway, etc.
