How much wedding cake do we need for our guest count?

The amount of cake you need depends on your guest count, serving size, and whether you’re offering additional desserts. Many couples choose to serve cake to every guest, while others opt for a smaller cake paired with a dessert table.

 

During your consultation, I’ll guide you on the ideal cake size based on your reception style and ensure you have exactly what you need — no more, no less.

 

How far in advance should we book our wedding cake with Purple Cow Cakery in NJ?

Most couples book their wedding cake 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season dates. Popular dates fill quickly and availability is limited to ensure every cake receives the attention it deserves. Early booking helps secure your date and allows sufficient time for design planning, tastings, and final details. 

 

I recommend booking as soon as your venue and date are secured.

​

Can each tier be a different flavor?

Yes — and many couples love this option. Each tier can be a different cake flavor and filling, allowing you to offer variety while keeping a cohesive design.

 

My menu is thoughtfully curated to balance crowd-pleasing favorites with elevated, sophisticated flavor combinations.

Wedding cake tastings are offered by appointment and are designed to help you confidently select flavors you love. Tastings are available to couples booking a cake of 100 servings or more and part of the consultation process, depending on timing and availability.

 

I believe your cake should taste just as incredible as it looks.
