How much does a custom cake cost?

June 27, 2022

There's a lot that goes into baking a cake, and a lot that goes into cake pricing. While each baker will list their own prices for custom cakes, they typically sit between $3 and $5 per slice. Wondering what features might affect the cost? Read on for some helpful information. 

Flavour

If you're choosing a traditional flavour such as chocolate or vanilla, you may not be adding much to your costs. Specialised flavours, like red velvet or carrot cake, might see an increase in price. You'll also likely pay more if you choose multiple layers or fillings.

Icing

Your choice of icing - buttercream or fondant - will impact the final cost of your cake. While buttercream is cheaper, fondant can add a much more appealing look. We can help you decide on the perfect icing option for your ideal cake.

Design

Design is the one element that's likely to have the most impact on price. The more detailed your design, the more you'll end up paying in the end. This is because you don't just pay for the cake, but the crafting, too - more intricate designs or details will end up taking the baker more time to complete. 

Layers

Do you want a cake with two, three, or even four layers? These tiers look amazing, but as with design and details, they require more time to repair. This means the number of layers you choose will also impact the cost. 

Transportation

Some bakers are able to deliver cakes to you. If you're ordering a large cake with many details, or are feeling a bit nervous about getting it from A to B, it's worth checking to see if transportation services can be provided and how much they might cost.
