Cake-Cutting Fee
A per-slice charge some venues add to cut and serve a cake you brought in.
A cake-cutting fee is a per-slice charge some venues or caterers add to cut, plate, and serve a cake you bring from an outside baker, rather than one they provided. It covers labor, plates, and cleanup.
Ask about it upfront, since it can add up across a big guest list. If it is steep, compare it against ordering dessert from your caterer or exploring dessert vendors that include service.
