What moves the price
- Guest count and tiers
- You are buying servings. A dramatic-looking cake for 80 people costs less than a plain one for 250.
- Decoration technique
- Sugar flowers are made by hand, one petal at a time. This is where the price lives, not in the cake.
- Fondant versus buttercream
- Fondant holds sharp edges and costs more; textured buttercream is fashionable and cheaper.
- Fillings and flavours
- Multiple flavours across tiers add cost. Specialty fillings more.
