Best Wedding Cake Bakers in Minneapolis, MN

Opt for a smaller, beautifully decorated two or three-tier display cake for photos and cutting, supplemented by less expensive sheet cakes for serving guests from the kitchen. This can save you 15-30% on your overall cake cost, potentially $60-$120 off the $425 average starting price in Minneapolis.

Choose a simple, elegant buttercream design over intricate fondant work or elaborate sugar flowers. Decorating with fresh, in-season flowers sourced from a local Minneapolis florist rather than labor-intensive sugar flowers can save you upwards of $100-$200 on design costs.

If your cake is a smaller, sturdy design (2-3 tiers max) and your venue is within a reasonable distance in the Minneapolis metro, ask your baker if you can pick it up. Avoiding delivery and setup fees, which can range from $50-$150, is a simple way to save if you have a reliable vehicle and designated person.
