Re: cost of 1st birthday cake?
It definitely isn't cheap, DH almost had a heart attack, but it is actually a good price and kind of what I was expecting. This is a cake I found online and am having replicated. She is charging me $140.... Shoot me an FM if you would like the lady's info.  Image Attachment(s):

Same here-but from BJs and they did a digital image of the theme on it.
Not for a 1st birthday party, but for DD's 3rd and only "big" birthday party.

This cake was $75. I wasn't impressed with the design at all, kind of disappointed, but it tasted great from an awesome bakery.

I got DD's at costco for under $20. It was huge and delicious!
Not fancy - but you can pick what icing design you want and have her name on it.

Re: cost of 1st birthday cake?
My 1st DD's cake was tinkerbelll themed (I will post a pic later) and was $295 from Audrey's bakery. I don't know what I was thinking but I waited until last minute so I think that was part of the problem. DD#2's 1st B-day cake w ill cost me $150.00.

Re: cost of 1st birthday cake?
My DS bday is June 3. We wanted a Timmy Time theme. A friend of my BIL makes custom cakes. She is making us a 3 tiered cake with all of the characters for $250. I think I am nuts for spending this for a cake, but it was something that I really wanted to do. I will post pics from the party and let you know if it was really worth it. Oh, it is supposed to feed 50 people.

$100 for a 3 tier cake to feed 50 people. And it was DELICIOUS!
PS: I wrapped a box in wrapping paper as the base for the cake

Re: cost of 1st birthday cake?
I made it myself.
$19.99 for an extra set of Pyrex glass bowls
$9.99 for the stars mold.
flour, levening ingrediest, eggs, butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract I always have on hand.
about $15 in white and dark chocolate (the good stuff!)
I used the Pyrex bowls to make the shape of "planets" and the star molds to make the stars. I covered everything with extremely easy to make and delicious chocolate ganache (white chocolate colored yellow with food coloring for the stars)
his theme was Le Petit Prince.
I actually got so much satisfaction from making it...moreso than I would have imagined. I felt more connected to it...so much so that I hope to make him his birthday cake until he gets married. and maybe after
