I Want Cake!

CUSTOM CAKES FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Pricing

Unless you pick a cake straight off our website, all cakes made by I Want Cake are custom quoted to suit your needs. All cakes are made to order.

We base our pricing based on 3 major components;
>> Design
>> Flavour
>> Size

The bigger the cake and the more elaborate the design, the more expensive it is going to be.  If you want to feed 100 people, it is going to cost you a great deal more than the same cake design to feed 20.

The biggest contribution to the cost of a cake is the labour involved in baking, assembling and decorating your cake. So, the more decoration, the more expense. A small three tier cake will be more expensive (in most cases) than a large two tier cake which can cater for the same amount of guests.

When you are looking at ordering a cake, you will need to know how you are going to serve your cake. Will it be used as dessert where each guest will receive a piece of cake or will it be served as coffee portions where your guests help themselves to pre-cut “finger” slices?

This is especially important for wedding cakes as dessert portions are served as part of your formal meal, every guest will be served a piece of cake that has been plated up individually and are usually a 1″x2″ slice of cake. Therefore you need to count every guest in your cake size. Coffee portions are usually sliced up as a 1″x1″ portion, plated on platters and put on the centre of tables towards the end of the night.  When serving cake as coffee portions, usually only 70% of your guests will need to be counted for cake as some guests may not pick up a slice or may have already left before it is served.

However a store credit to use towards a future order will be provided if requested.
