One of the most frequently asked questions is how much are your cakes? We realize that everyone has a budget they would like to stay within. When you are planning an event, the cost involved can be overwhelming. Customized cakes can be very detailed and time consuming. The costs add up when you start adding handmade detailing, sugar flowers, lace pearls, beading, jewelry, monogram letters, cake toppers etc... These items can take days or even weeks to make. We create everything to order and do everything by hand. The more labor that goes into a cake, the more the cake will cost. We need to know your budget so that we can design you a cake that you and your guests can love and remember forever. Below you will find our starting prices. The final cake price is determined by the size and complexity on the cake not just the number of servings. There are 3 categories for serving sizes. Generous (2x3) Sensible (2x2) and Event/Wedding (1x2). We price all of our cakes at the sensible range. Depending on how large of slices you want to offer will choose the cake sizes you should select. Please see our servings guide for a more detailed chart of servings each pan will give to include specialty pans. Also see cutting guide to show you how to cut your cakes. Please click on our pricing chart to see more detail.

Prices are with buttercream filling, we offer other fillings at additional charge. ****Please note, we do not offer anything smaller than 8 inch cakes unless accompanied by a larger cake or cupcake order.***

Tiered cakes are much more involved. We have to use extra supplies for stability with cake boards, dowels, foam stability boards, etc... Below are our starting prices for tiered cakes with buttercream fillings and iced with buttercream. This is for basic decorated cakes. IF you want special fillings or lots of detailed flowers, beading, rice krispy treat or fondant toppers, ribbon prices will go up. Fondant is an extra $20 per tier. Below is a chart of stacked tiers so you can have an idea of tiers and their servings. Servings are based on a 2x2 slice for party cakes and 1x2 for wedding cakes. So if you plans on serving bigger slices take that into account and choose bigger tiers. Toy figurines can be added for cost of purchasing them.
