Good to Know
Wedding Cakes & Bakers in Charleston: FAQs
- How much does a wedding cake cost in South Carolina?
- Buttercream cakes generally run $4 to $8 per serving and fondant or heavily detailed cakes $5 to $12, so a 150-guest cake typically lands between $600 and $1,500. Most bakers set a minimum order of $500 to $800 for a delivered, stacked wedding cake. Charleston and Hilton Head price at the top of those ranges; Upstate and Midlands bakeries publish some of the lowest per-serving rates in the state.
- Buttercream or fondant for a South Carolina wedding?
- Buttercream costs less and most people prefer how it tastes, but it softens in heat — a real consideration for an outdoor reception between June and September. Fondant holds its shape through humidity and gives crisp edges and a smooth finish, at roughly a dollar or two more per serving. A common compromise is buttercream with fondant accents, or a buttercream cake kept indoors or shaded until it is cut.
