But first, a heads up --
This past week James and I have been talking pretty seriously with one of the locations I wrote about and we've decided to move forward and use them for our reception! We also have a date picked out, but I don't want to make any announcements until the paperwork is signed and everything is official. We have arranged a meeting with the event coordinators this weekend.
So you'll just have to wait until then... ;)
In the meanwhile, I've started shopping around for other wedding necessities. Cakes being one of them. A quick google search and the visiting of a couple websites later and my jaw was on the floor. Yes, these cakes are beautiful, and I'm sure they taste delicious, but you want me to pay THOUSANDS of dollars?! For a cake?!?!
But being the stubborn, bargain loving person that I am, my panic didn't last for long. I can win this battle. Where's the place I always go when everyone else's prices seem ridiculous?
That's right, Costco to the rescue!
I went back to google and searched for "costco bakery" and found a pic of their specialty cake order form:
Yes, you're allowed to do a double take. I did the same thing. That's a giant sheet cake for 50 people and it costs $16.99. SIXTEEN DOLLARS.
*commence happy dance*
Sure, a Costco cake won't be as pretty as other cakes. But it will be every bit as delicious. Trust me, I've done the leg work. I've had my fair share of cake samples walking down their bakery aisle.
We can always spruce it up ourselves later. Maybe find a fun cake topper or action figures we can place on top...
Then again, our wedding doesn't happen til much later this year. Maybe we'll find a happy middle ground by then -- a baker that makes cakes that are pretty AND somewhat reasonably priced.
But in the meanwhile -- Costco, I love you.
