Methodology

The Wedding Cake Price Index aggregates the starting price published on wedding cake baker listings in the WeddingCakes Hub directory. Only published listings with a stated starting price are included. Median, 25th, and 75th percentiles are computed with PostgreSQL PERCENTILE_CONT. Figures are refreshed continuously as listings are added and verified; the "as of" date above reflects the latest snapshot. Prices are shown in USD.
