This buttercream wedding cake is custom designed by a small Mendocino Coast bakery and priced per slice, starting at $8. Each cake begins with a consultation, and the bakery includes cake cutters and cake stands with the order, so hosts get a cake planned around their wedding style and guest count without hunting for serving pieces.
Buttercream remains one of the most requested wedding cake finishes because it is soft, creamy and easy to slice and serve. It works with textured, smooth or rustic looks and pairs naturally with fresh flowers or simple piped details. Pricing by the slice lets you match the cake size to your final headcount instead of guessing at tiers.

What's Included
- A consultation to plan your cake
- Custom cake design based on your wedding style
- Buttercream frosting, priced per slice from $8 before tax
- Cake cutters for serving
- Cake stands for display
- Delivery and setup, which the bakery offers for events
How the Consultation Works
The consultation is where your cake takes shape. Bring your color palette, venue photos, invitation design or inspiration images, and talk through the look you want along with flavors and your expected guest count. The bakery uses that conversation to create a custom design, so the finished cake fits the setting rather than a standard catalog option.
Why Choose Buttercream
- A soft, creamy finish that many guests prefer to eat
- Easy slicing and serving at the reception
- Flexible styles, from smooth and simple to textured and rustic
- A natural match for fresh florals and coastal or garden settings
- A lower starting price per slice than the bakery's fondant option
Sizing Your Cake by the Slice
Per-slice pricing makes the math straightforward. Start with your confirmed guest count, decide whether every guest will receive a slice, and multiply by the starting rate for a first estimate. Some hosts order a smaller display cake and add cupcakes, which the same bakery also makes, to cover a larger guest list.
Questions to Settle Before You Book
- Your expected guest count and the number of servings you need
- The design, colors and decorations you want on the cake
- Flavor ideas to talk through during the consultation
- The delivery address and setup time at your venue
- Any allergy or dietary notes you want to raise during the quote
Service Area and Delivery
The bakery is based in Mendocino and serves weddings along the Mendocino Coast. Delivery and setup are offered, which matters for a tiered cake that should arrive steady and be placed on its stand by someone used to handling it. Confirm your venue address, setup window and any distance details when you request your quote.
Reviews and Trust
The bakery is highly reviewed by past wedding clients, and the large majority of reviewers say they would recommend it. Booking through Events in Minutes keeps your request, the published starting price and the vendor's quote together, so you can compare cake options and plan the rest of your reception budget with clear numbers.
Common Questions
How many slices should I plan for? Most hosts start with the confirmed guest count and order one slice per guest. If you are serving other desserts, or adding cupcakes from the same bakery, you can adjust the cake size and confirm the final number of servings in your quote.
Are serving pieces included? Yes. The bakery includes cake cutters and cake stands with the order, which means one less item to rent or borrow for the reception. Confirm display and setup details with the bakery when you finalize the design and delivery plan.
Pricing
Buttercream wedding cakes start at $8 per slice before tax. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details. Share your design ideas, flavors and venue details when you send your request, so the quote reflects the cake you want and the number of servings you need.
Check Availability
Send your wedding date, guest count and inspiration through Events in Minutes to check availability and request a quote.
