For a more in-depth consultation and cake tasting, please contact us at the shop directly or by email to make an appointment with our pastry chef, Peter Fong, who will help you design and create a wedding cake that is a personal expression of your special day. After the consultation, we advise booking your wedding cake at least 4 months in advance of your wedding date to ensure our availability. The booking is secured with a small deposit and the remaining balance is due a week prior to your wedding day. Pricing is determined by the simplicity or complexity of the design and charged on a per serving basis.

I think the consultation fee is $50, but it includes cake tasting, and the consultation fee is eligible towards the eventual cake purchase. This is the absolute best-est tasting wedding cake place I can think of, but they are definitely not cheap.
Also, bear in mind that certain venues will charge you cake cutting fees, and obviously that is on top of the costs of the cake. Some of those are upwards of $3/person. Totally ridiculous and a bloddy ripoff if you ask me, but that is what they do, especially when the place has a preferred caterer and you didn't order the cake from them.
IIRC, the cheapest route you can go is to get a flat cake, but your fiancee will probably not approve.
