A Tasting Guide
The sweetest appointment in wedding planning, explained.
A cake tasting at Sweet E’s Bakery is $50 and includes three cakes and three fillings of your choice, with extra samples available at $10 each. The tasting is complimentary with any order over $300, and because my two-tier wedding cakes begin at $450, couples who book their wedding cake with me are never really paying for the tasting at all. You taste, you compare, and choosing your wedding cake stops being a guess.
This guide covers what the fee includes, how it is waived, and why I keep tastings in person. You can review current prices on my pricing page, browse real cakes in the gallery, or reserve your spot through the tastings page whenever you are ready.
Is a Wedding Cake Tasting Free?
The honest answer: at most custom studios, no, and mine starts at $50 as well. The difference is what happens next. The moment your order passes $300, the tasting is complimentary, and every multi-tier wedding cake I make passes that mark. A tasting with me is less a fee and more a deposit on the decision itself: real cake, real fillings, and an hour that settles the most delicious question of your planning season.
I would rather be clear about $50 than vague about “free.” The fee covers genuine cakes and genuine time, and if you book your wedding cake, it costs you nothing in the end. For a full picture of what cakes themselves cost, my Utah wedding cake cost guide breaks down every tier.
What a Cake Tasting Includes at Sweet E’s
Every cake tasting includes three cakes and three fillings of your choice, so you can compare real combinations rather than nibble whatever happens to be on the counter. Want to try more than three? Extra samples are $10 each. Browse my wedding cake flavors guide before you book so the shortlist argument can happen at home, where it belongs.
And when your wedding cake order comes together, the tasting is only the beginning of what is included: every multi-tier wedding cake comes with the tasting, a one-on-one design consultation, and a complimentary mini anniversary cake for your first year.

Do You Offer Wedding Cake Tasting Boxes?
No, and that is a considered choice. Tasting boxes are everywhere right now, but a box cannot ask about your venue, your florals, or how the cake should photograph at golden hour. Choosing a wedding cake is a design decision as much as a flavor decision, so my tastings happen in person, where both conversations can happen at once. If you are curious how the appointment itself unfolds, I walk through the whole experience in what to expect at a Utah wedding cake tasting.

“Erika is amazing to work with! I booked her back in January and we did a tasting! She let us try different frostings and cakes to make sure we chose the perfect cake. We got the chocolate raspberry and lemon raspberry. I am not joking when I say it was the best cake I have ever had! I would highly recommend Erika for literally any cake you need!”
