Vendor recommendations needed for wedding cake
posted at 1/25/2010 1:01 PM EST
This is my first post. I am looking for a cake vendor for my wedding next year in March. We have not booked the venue yet, but we are down to two choices: one in Windham NH and the other York Maine.
Can you recommend some budget-friendly cake vendors? We will have about 60 guests and I am hoping for not spending over $200 (I know it is not a lot, but my cake is relatively a simple design.)
Thanks! -

Try Hippie Chick Bakery. She is in Southern NH and she is a great baker. She did a fabulous job with our wedding cake and her prices were quite competitive.

...she has a facebook page too with many pictures of her recent work:

My friend at work was married in NH and she used Cakes By The Lake. I think she spent around $450 but had about 200 people at her wedding. -

I used Jacques Pastries, it was included in my package but OMG that cake was so fabulous. They are in Suncook, NH and I would recommend them. -

Fredrick's Pastries in (Bedford and Amherst, NH) always made phenomenal cakes when I used to do wedding hostessing. They made the most amazing almond white cake with raspberry filling. I still think about it to this day! -

We didn't use her, but I wish we did.
Chickadee Hill Cakes in Sandown, NH was the first place we looked at and didn't realize what a great deal we were getting for such an amazing cake!! I know she books up quickly because we missed our opportunity. She had done a really nice cake tasting at Zorvino Vineyards where many couples were invited and we could sample all combinations of her cakes with coffee, tea and live music playing in a beautiful atmosphere - for free! (this was a bonus) We even got to take home a lot of cake for family and friends to sample.
I really feel we missed the boat, so I hope you find someone you love! -

I had a Cakes by Erin cake at a bridal shower recently and thought it was quite good. The design on it was super-cute! She's a relatively small operation but if your cake is simple, you might be a good match for each other. http://www.cakesbyerin.com/
I happen to be crazy about my cake from The Mixing Bowl, but I think it's going to be way outside your budget. But if you want that information, PM me. She doesn't have a website.
