Products & Prices
Alright, let’s talk cake costs. I get asked about this almost daily, usually by someone whispering as if wedding cake prices are classified information. They’re not, I promise. Here’s a clear breakdown so you can see how things work before you fall in love with a five-tier masterpiece shaped like a cloud. Check out my London baking blog for more info.
I keep the tone friendly here, but the numbers are real. Ingredients, hours, tools, delivery… they all add up. And yes, I’ve spent nights hand-piping tiny dots until my wrists begged for mercy, so I’ve learned not to undersell those dots.
Tiers & Base Prices
These start with simple buttercream or fondant finishes.
- Two tiers (serves 40–60) – £240 to £310
- Three tiers (serves 70–100) – £360 to £520
- Four tiers (serves 110–150) – £540 to £760
- Five tiers (serves 160–200) – £780 to £1,050
I’ve had couples choose a five-tier cake for twelve guests purely for drama. No judgement. I applauded.
Style Add-Ons
This is where the fun (and extra hours) come in.
- Smooth fondant finish upgrade – £30 to £80
- Textured buttercream (ridges, rustic waves, etc.) – £20 to £70
- Hand-painted designs – £80 to £260
- Metallic touches (gold leaf, silver leaf) – £30 to £110
- Modern shapes (hexagon, tall tiers, offset stacking) – £40 to £150
I once hand-painted twenty tiny strawberries at 1 a.m., humming to myself like a gremlin. Worth it.
Decorations
- Sugar flowers (per flower depending on size) – £8 to £22
- Fresh flowers (placed safely) – £25 to £65
- Edible wafer paper ruffles – £45 to £160
- Drip icing – £10 to £25
- Custom toppers – £20 to £55
Sugar flowers look dreamy, but they do turn my table into a scene of petals everywhere. Buttercream the cat once walked straight through them.
Flavours
Prices are per tier.
- Vanilla, lemon, chocolate, red velvet – included
- Premium flavours (pistachio, rose, coconut, biscoff) – £10 to £25
- Luxury fillings (salted caramel, passionfruit curd, berry compote) – £10 to £25
A groom once requested a coffee tier so strong it nearly kept my oven awake.
Delivery & Set-Up
- Within London zones 1–3 – £35 to £70
- Zones 4–6 – £70 to £120
- Venues outside London – £1.20 to £1.60 per mile
I’ve driven cakes through London traffic with the focus of someone diffusing a bomb. One pothole near Camden nearly made me meet my ancestors.
