Taasty Cakes guide
How much does a wedding cake cost?
A wedding cake is made to order. Its cost depends on your guest numbers, the structure, the decoration and the services you need on the wedding day.
The short answer
The cost of a wedding cake mainly depends on the number of servings, the number of tiers, the finish and delivery. To avoid surprises, check whether the quote includes decoration, transport, set-up and any fees linked to your venue.
What makes up the budget
The number of servings, the number of tiers, the flavours, the finish, flowers or decorations and how complex the structure is are the most important factors.
Delivery and set-up
Safe transport and set-up at the venue may be offered at an extra cost. Ask the cake designer for the exact terms.
Book early enough
Share your date, venue, guest numbers and inspiration as early as possible so the baker can check availability and any transport constraints.
