serving guide and starting prices

---

That depends: are you going to be eating this cake for afternoon tea?  Or serving smaller, celebration slices when guests will already be full after a meal?  Are your guests mainly small children or hungry teenagers? 

The above are therefore for guidance only based on my experience of serving cake at family gatherings and at children’s parties. 

Remember that “naked” cakes tend to serve fewer people than cakes with lots of buttercream and / or a fondant coating, and that portions served at weddings are often much smaller.

The vast majority of my cakes are made bespoke to order, so I do not have a standard price list. However, the above starting prices might be helpful in commencing your enquiry. Please add 10% for vegan or gluten-free. Theme cakes are usually of the order of £30 above these prices to include a custom topper and other decorative details as required. Elsewhere in my website, you’ll find examples of these “add-on” prices.

For two-tier cakes, just add the prices of the individual tiers.

Items like macarons and fondant modelling increase the cost, as do more time-consuming designs or those with lots of colours (including rainbow cakes, unicorn cakes and mermaid cakes).
