Wedding Cakes
Your wedding cake should taste as good as it looks. At Caramanda's Bake Shop in Lexington, every wedding cake is custom: you choose the size, the design, and a flavor and filling for each tier. We've been baking for Lexington celebrations for about 20 years, and our cupcakes have been voted Best of Lexington 16 years running.
Wedding cakes start at $5.50 per serving. Book a wedding cake consultation in our consultation room at 2220 Nicholasville Road, or call 859-278-7172.

How it works
- Consultation. Pick a time online and you'll get reminders before your visit. Bring your colors, photos and guest count, and we'll talk through sizes, flavors and design.
- Design and quote. We'll confirm your tiers, flavors, fillings and decoration, with a price based on servings.
- Reserve your date. A $100 non-refundable deposit holds your date and locks in your price. The balance is due 3 weeks before your wedding.
- Your day. We deliver your cake and set it up at your venue, or you can pick it up at our shop.
Every tier can be a different flavor
Each tier is a 4-inch-tall cake: two layers, split and filled. That means every tier can have its own cake flavor and its own filling. For example, a three-tier cake could be strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream on top, chocolate with chocolate buttercream in the middle, and carrot cake with cream cheese icing on the bottom.
Cake flavors: White, Yellow, Chocolate (with chocolate chips), Red Velvet, Funfetti, Caramel, Strawberry, White Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Chip, Coconut, Carrot, Lemon, Orange, Key Lime, Pink Champagne, Marble, plus seasonal Maple Pecan, Cinnamon Spice and Pumpkin.
Fillings: Buttercream, Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Cappuccino, Caramel, Coconut, Cinnamon, Mint, Orange, Maple and Peanut Butter buttercreams, Cream Cheese Buttercream and Cream Cheese Icing.
Why we recommend vanilla buttercream outside
For the outside of a wedding cake we suggest our vanilla buttercream. It tastes great, it's sturdy, it holds piped details beautifully, and it stands up to warm weather better than cream cheese buttercream, our other icing option. Buttercream wedding cakes are our specialty.
Wedding cake sizes and servings
Wedding cake servings are cut smaller than birthday cake slices, so a tiered cake serves more guests than the same sizes would as single cakes.
| Tiers | Serves | Starting at |
|---|---|---|
| 2 tiers: 6" and 8" | 36 | $198 |
| 3 tiers: 6", 8" and 10" | 74 | $407 |
| 3 tiers: 8", 10" and 12" | 118 | $649 |
| 4 tiers: 6", 8", 10" and 12" | 130 | $715 |
| 5 tiers: 6", 8", 10", 12" and 14" | 208 | $1,144 |
Wedding servings per tier: 6" serves 12, 8" serves 24, 9" serves 32, 10" serves 38, 12" serves 56, 14" serves 78. Servings count every tier, including the top tier. Final price depends on servings, fillings and design.
Long rectangular wedding cakes are also $5.50 per serving. Each serving is 2 inches by 1 inch, the full height of the cake.
Delivery
Most of our wedding cakes are delivered and set up at the venue. Delivery is free within Fayette County on orders over $500, and $25 within Fayette County on smaller orders. Outside Fayette County, delivery is $1.75 per mile one way, with a $25 minimum. You're also welcome to pick up your cake at our shop.
