How Are Cakes Priced
The cost of wedding and special occasion cakes does vary by design. The final price usually depends upon the complexity of the design, type of cake whether fruit cake or sponge, the number of serving portions requested and most importantly how it is sliced. Please understand that dense fruit cakes may not be portionable as sponge and chiffon cakes.
A preliminary quote will be provided three to five days after consultation. If changes are made after the cake tasting and consultation, it must be communicated and confirmed via text or email.
The starting prices for Buttercream cakes are $8.50 per slice and fondant cakes are $9.50 per slice or ($5.50 for Finger style slicing).
Please be absolutely certain the venue is able to cut the cake in a finger style fashion, else it may not be enough to serve your guests. For an accurate pricing of your desired cake, please reach out to us for a customized quote.

Simple yet Elegant Cakes that fit the budget
We offer budget friendly cakes ranging from $190 – $500 that may be done within a week if schedule permits. These cakes are considered stock with minimal to no decoration. You may choose from several finishes; Semi Naked, Smooth Buttercream, Rustic Buttercream, Ripple or Ridge Buttercream.
Either of these cakes are available in 2, 3 or 4 tiers with an optional floral or fruit decoration provided by client.
The flavours will be either Chocolate Cake with vanilla filling or Vanilla Cake with vanilla filling.
How Tall Are our cakes?
Our cakes are four – six layers with a finished height of approximately 5″ – 9”, so while the serving portion may be slender, the height compensates for the width and this is the standard industry practice.
Wedding servings are usually 1″ x 1″ by height of the tier (finger portion), or 1″ x 2″ by height of tier (dessert portion).
Some couples follow the tradition of keeping the top tier of the cake for themselves for the first year anniversary; while others guests may prefer to share bigger pieces of cake. For either reason, the final serving portion per guest, should be considered as it could potentially reduces the guest portions. It either scenario we are able to accommodate as you desire.
Nevertheless, that does not change the guidelines we use.
We encourage all our clients to consider these small details when deciding what cake size to purchase, as the suggested serving size is intended to help you get the best value for your cost.
The serving portions mentioned, are intended only to be a guide.
If you believe the portion may not be sufficient, then perhaps other desserts should be considered serving along with the main cake.
