Planning your wedding in the Southern Highlands and wondering, How much is a wedding cake? The cost of a wedding cake can vary based on several factors, including the size, design, flavours, and delivery. As the sole creator behind Alyssa’s Kitchen, I believe that a wedding cake is more than just a dessert – it’s a beautiful centrepiece that adds a special touch to your big day. I specialise in crafting custom wedding cakes and desserts that will delight your guests and perfectly match the vision of your celebration.
In this post, I’ll break down the costs of wedding cakes and explain how you can choose the perfect custom wedding cake for your wedding. I’ll also share why Alyssa’s Kitchen is the ideal choice for couples looking for an exceptional wedding cake made with love and care.
When it comes to pricing your wedding cake, several factors come into play. Understanding these will help you estimate your cake budget and ensure you get the cake of your dreams.
The number of guests you’re hosting at your wedding plays a major role in determining the price of your custom wedding cake. Custom Wedding cakes are typically priced per serving, so the larger the guest list, the bigger the cake you’ll need. For a traditional three-tier cake, the price can range from $7 to $12 per serving. For example, a cake serving 50 guests might cost anywhere from $350 to $600, depending on the complexity of the design.
I’ll work with you to choose the right cake size based on your guest list, ensuring that everyone gets to enjoy a slice of the delicious cake without any leftovers.
One of the most important factors influencing the price of your custom wedding cake is the design. A custom wedding cake with intricate designs, edible flowers, or hand-painted details will generally cost more. The more personalised and unique your cake design, the higher the price.
As the sole creator behind Alyssa’s Kitchen, I will work with you to make your cake vision come to life. Whether you’re looking for a classic, elegant tiered cake or a modern, minimalist design, I’ll create a cake that’s as unique as your love story.
Another consideration is flowers, fresh flowers that will match the colour scheme of your wedding. Flowers are expensive, so if you want lots of beautiful flowers such as white, or toffee roses, you need to take this into account for your cake cost. A lot of brides are opting for faux flowers, which are very good these days.
When it comes to custom wedding cakes, flavour is just as important as the design. While traditional flavours like vanilla, chocolate, and lemon are always popular, many couples opt for more adventurous flavours such as red velvet, caramel mud or something different like a Black Forest, layered with black cherries and chocolate ganache buttercream. Fillings such as natural or white buttercream, ganache and fruit jams, and even freeze-dried fruits incorporated into a buttercream, also play a role in determining the cost.
At Alyssa’s Kitchen, I offer a variety of flavours and fillings to suit all tastes, including vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options. I’m happy to work with you to craft a cake that not only looks stunning but also tastes incredible.
The delivery of your custom wedding cake to your venue is another factor to consider when pricing your cake. If your venue is in a remote or hard-to-reach location within the Southern Highlands, additional delivery charges may apply. Rest assured, I’ll ensure your cake is transported safely and arrives in perfect condition, no matter where your wedding is held.
In addition to your custom wedding cake, many couples opt to have a dessert table or bar, provided by your venue, you just need to consider this as your overall cost.
Another consideration is whether any of your guests have food allergies or intolerances. If you are not going to adapt one layer of your wedding cake to that, I can make some additional cupcakes to cater for those special guests. I have made many cupcakes to compliment the wedding cake, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, all no problem. I want to make sure those guests have something delicious, whilst not compromising on taste, so they can enjoy dessert too.
