What a custom cake costs in Melbourne

Learn how servings, flavour, finish, handmade detail and fulfilment shape the price of a custom cake.

01

Custom pricing depends on the brief

We ask for servings, flavour, name or age, personalisation, and delivery or pickup, because those shape the quote.

A cake with handmade fondant characters, custom toppers, or complex theme work costs more than a simpler personalised buttercream cake.

Telling us your budget helps

Sharing a budget range helps us suggest a design that fits the event.

Unsure? Send the reference photo and ask what detail fits your timeframe and servings.

Questions about this topic

Can I find a custom cake price list?

Not for fully custom cakes. Our ready-made cakes show prices in the shop, but a custom commission needs a quote.

What is the smallest custom cake?

Our smallest custom cakes serve 12–15 guests.
