I have 2 things to say.
1) I have experienced # 3, 4, 5, 9, 13, 14, 16, 20, 33 & 40.
2) As far as #25, I wouldn't know if it came from there or not because you don't actually see them cutting the cake in the back. I plan on getting a dummy cake and sheet cakes from my FAVORITE bakery. I'll save at least $500.
I have experienced #'S
1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 16, 30,
#25
There is nothing wrong with a cake from Sam's Club, you do you want you can with the budget you got.
You're right about the cake Diamond, but Sam's club & Winn-Dixie cakes are so nasty to me (no offense to anyone getting their cakes from there). Maybe if they had a different kind of icing or something. Anyway, i'm getting my cake from Publix. Serves 150-175 people for 300 bucks!
I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.
Delight yourself also in the Lord & He shall give you all the desires of your heart.-Psalm 37:4
That is a great price to get a cake for, and it serves that many guests that is great.
