Wedding Cake Pricing Guide
Understanding wedding cake pricing helps you plan your budget and make informed decisions for your special day.
Factors That Affect Price
Wedding cake pricing varies based on several factors. Understanding these helps you make informed decisions and plan your budget.
- Size (Servings): The number of servings is the primary factor. More servings = larger cake = higher price.
- Design Complexity: Simple buttercream designs cost less than intricate fondant work or custom decorations.
- Flavors: Standard flavors are included, but specialty or premium flavors may have additional costs.
- Decorations: Fresh flowers, custom toppers, and elaborate decorations add to the cost.
- Delivery & Setup: Professional delivery and setup services may have additional fees, especially for distant venues.
Average Pricing
Wedding cakes typically range from $8-15+ per serving, depending on the factors above. A 100-guest wedding cake might cost $800-1500 or more, depending on design and complexity.
Remember that these are estimates. Every cake is custom, so pricing will vary. We provide detailed quotes after your consultation to ensure transparency.
Budgeting Tips
- Allocate 2-5% of your total wedding budget for the cake.
- Consider a smaller display cake with sheet cake for additional servings to save on cost.
- Choose simpler designs for larger cakes to stay within budget.
- Ask about package deals if you're ordering multiple items (cake, cupcakes, dessert table).
