FWIW, I love, love, love the idea of several smaller wedding cakes. The sticker shock, however, almost put me in a coma...

I hear ya. Honestly, I'd just run to my local baker and grab something off the shelf but I know most people buying wedding cakes won't or can't do that. If I had to order something though, more than likely, it wouldn't be "bridal" looking and I wouldn't say it's for a wedding. That word alone will jack up the price.

We found a place that was very reasonable (esp when I heard that most places charge at least $10/slice!) - the cake ended up being the least expensive of wedding items! It wasn't exactly what I wanted (read: language communication problem), but it tasted wonderful!

That's what we did. Chocolate mud cake with chocolate buttercream filling, and chocolate icing - definitely didn't look like a wedding cake - but it was delicious.
