Is there another bakery that you can get a quote from? It sounds like you love the idea of a cake for this place but it seems a little pricey for what you are getting. Is there a reason you are opposed to fresh flowers? They are cheaper and look nicer. I would be pissed if asked to split that cost with no input.
Really, it's a reasonable price for the cake. I'd pay it too but then again, I bake the things and know what the labor and materials are that go into so it doesn't surprise me one bit.
ETA: Plain cakes are a pain in the ass. Don't ever say they are simple.
D to the itto. I also do cakes. The plain ones allow no room for error or imperfections whatsoever.
I do think the price is kind of high for the cake itself. I would charge around half that price, but I'm also in a LCOL area so that may make a difference. The pops are reasonable IMO.
Heck yes! "Plain" cakes are a ton of work because there is nothing to hide any imperfection in the cake or icing.
