How much wedding cake do you need?
Let’s pop the big question…
the price, right? it’s the big question, but it’s not a small answer. Stacked wedding cakes come in so many shapes, sizes and finishes that no two are ever a like, but it’s nice to have a rough guide, so here’s mine. My luxury wedding cakes are usually 4 layers per tier to give a modern elegant feel. Other size options are available, I’m also happy to add dummy tiers or spacers. Most couples who are having 100 guests budget for £700+ for their bespoke wedding cake once decorative details are added, with semi naked style cakes costing slightly less. I always recommend booking a wedding cake consultation (£20 if booking before you secure your date with me) or dropping me an email to talk over your ideas and to start on designing a cake that will be a showstopper at your special occasion. Head over to the contact tab to get in touch and to receive my pricing booklet.
All of my cakes are filled with homemade compotes, caramels and curds, Swiss meringue buttercream and silky-smooth ganache, they are coated in white chocolate ganache and luxury Swiss fondant. Semi naked cakes are coated in white chocolate ganache to give the perfect stable coating, not to mention it’s delicious!.
