“For better or for worse” brings a whole new meaning to wedding planning thanks to the ongoing pandemic, making many couples rethink how they want to get married. From mini-monies to intimate backyard ceremonies, the type of wedding might have changed, but the details like the dress, flowers + cake still matter.

Despite changes to other aspects of a wedding, about 83% of couples still plan on having some type of cake-cutting ceremony. Keeping with tradition? Here’s how you can get a custom yet affordable wedding cake from Publix.

With a four-week notice, Publix can make you the customized wedding cake of your dreams (and some even call it “the ultimate Southern wedding cake”).

Choosing the right flavor

Across the industry, the most popular wedding cake flavor is vanilla, followed by chocolate and red velvet. Set up a tasting and sample different flavor combinations before placing an order. From the traditional vanilla and chocolate to the unexpected (who says confetti cake is just for birthdays), here’s a breakdown of Publix’s flavor options.

A personal touch

During a consultation, Publix’s talented decorators will help you and your partner choose flavors, colors, decorations + style to bring your vision to life. Decorators are happy to help you coordinate your cake to match perfectly with the rest of your wedding.

ProTip: Bring fabric swatches so they can help you select ribbons, flowers, ornaments, and toppers for your cake. Bonus: They can even match the icing to your wedding colors — perfectly matching bridesmaids’ dresses.

An affordable option

The average cost of a wedding cake is ~$500. At Publix, a three-tiered cake (which feeds 75-100 guests) starts at $300 — which means more of your budget can go towards a honeymoon. Not sure how much cake you’ll need? This serving chart can help you with that.
