Everything to Know About Wegmans Wedding Cakes

For many couples, serving cake on their wedding day is a must. And while going the route of working with a specialty bakery or wedding cake artist is certainly an option for a stunning celebratory confection, for some couples, choosing something simpler (and more affordable) is the best fit.

Ordering a cake, or multiple cakes, from a grocery store can be a great alternative to hiring a cake designer. You can choose a store you know and love, and chances are, you’ve probably already tried their cakes! If you’re on the east coast of the U.S., Wegmans may be your go-to grocer, and the store’s bakery has plenty of great options for a wedding day sweet. Below, learn everything you need to know about Wegmans wedding cakes.

Wegmans Cake Options

While Wegmans doesn’t offer the ability to order a traditional multi-tiered wedding cake, there are still a few options that might fit your needs.  

Wegmans has a selection of cakes under its Ultimate Cakes line, which are double-layer cakes. You can choose chocolate or white cake, chocolate or white frosting, and select from a variety of fillings including custard, lemon, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, cherry, chocolate ganache, and even fresh fruit. The decoration choices for these cakes are minimal, but you can choose to have two buttercream roses added on top, or you can opt for no decoration for a simpler approach. The large Ultimate Cake serves eight to 10 people, or you can order a mini version if you don’t need as many servings. These sizes are especially great for a micro wedding or elopement.

Wegmans also offers single-layer round cakes, quarter-sheet cakes, and half-sheet cakes in chocolate, gold, and marble cake flavors with white icing. These are great options if you want to serve simple slices of cake. You could order a round cake for display and for cake cutting, and then have your caterer slice up a sheet cake behind the scenes for guests.

How to Order a Wegmans Wedding Cake

The Wegmans bakery offers an array of beautifully prepared desserts in their display cases. However, you definitely don’t want to wait until the last minute to pick up a cake for your wedding. The best option is to order ahead of time, either by speaking with a bakery employee at the store or by ordering over the phone. You can also order and customize a selection of cakes online through the Wegmans website. It’s best to order at least one month ahead of time for any grocery store wedding cake option.

How to Decorate a Wegmans Wedding Cake

If you’re putting together a dessert table and want multiple cakes, a variety of round cakes can make a beautiful statement. Choose different cake sizes and place them on cake stands with varying heights. Fill in with other favorite desserts such as cookies, brownies, and chocolate-covered Oreos for an interesting display.

Want to dress it up? You can add decorations to a simple round cake on your own. When you order from the bakery, ask for a plain, iced cake. Then, work with your florist to order extra flowers that can be used to dress up your wedding day sweet to match your wedding aesthetic!
