Intimate Weddings
Small wedding, whole heart, cakes sized for two (and their favorite people).
Elopement cakes and small wedding cakes at Sweet E’s run $150–$250 for a single-tier custom design, every bit as considered as my five-tier showpieces, just sized for an intimate day. Utah’s canyons, mountain overlooks, and backyard ceremonies host some of the most personal weddings I serve, and a beautiful small cake makes the moment complete. For the numbers side by side, my guide to small wedding cake prices compares every size.
Every cake is designed around your celebration and delivered anywhere in Utah (I travel for destination elopements, too). Browse single-tier cakes in the gallery, see pricing, or tell me about your plans.
Small Wedding Pricing

Utah’s 3% sales tax applies and delivery is priced by location. If your “small wedding” is quietly becoming a medium one, the two-tier guide and 2026 price guide have you covered.
Why Small Cakes Are a Studio Favorite
A single tier is a jewel box: one perfect surface for hand piping, a single sugar bloom, or clean modern minimalism. Flavor gets the spotlight too, any cake and filling from my signature menu, from vanilla bean to chocolate raspberry. Elopements move fast, so reach out as soon as you have a date; I take a limited number of cakes per season, and 2026–2027 is filling.
How Elopement Cakes Come Together
Elopement cakes keep the full custom process, just lighter on logistics: send your date and location, pick any cake and filling from the signature menu, and I design a single tier that suits the setting, a canyon overlook asks for something different than a candlelit dinner for ten. Our calendar is limited each season even for small cakes, so the sooner you write, the better, and if your elopement is soon, ask anyway.

Elopement Cakes FAQ
How much does an elopement cake cost in Utah?
Single-tier custom cakes run $150–$250 at Sweet E’s, sized for intimate celebrations and designed with the same care as my largest wedding cakes.
Is a single-tier cake enough for a small wedding?
For most elopements and micro-weddings, yes, and each tier is about five inches tall, so it still photographs beautifully. Add cupcakes from $42/dozen or truffles from $30/dozen if your guest list grows.
Can we still choose custom flavors and design?
Absolutely, every cake is custom, whatever the size. Choose any cake and filling from the signature menu and I design around your day.
Do you deliver small cakes too?
Yes, I deliver across Utah and travel for destination celebrations, from canyon overlooks to intimate backyard vow exchanges. Delivery is priced by location.
Sweet E’s has been featured by Rocky Mountain Bride, Utah Valley Bride, Utah Weddings Magazine, Voyage Utah, and Zola, and creates around 120 cakes a year for couples across the state, each one custom, each one delivered with the same care. Yours is next.
