Custom Cake Costs

How much should you expect to pay for custom cakes in Brockville, Leeds and the Thousand Islands? It depends on how big and elaborate you want it to be. You should expect to pay anywhere from $25 (for a one-layer, one colour cake with regular icing) to $150 (for a multi-tier, elaborate cake with fondant and details).

Things To Decide

Before ordering your cake, here’s some things you should know:

• How many people you’re looking to serve. This will determine the size of the cake.
• The Shape Of The Cake You Want. Typically, bakeries offer square or round tiers, but can create custom shapes upon request.
• Any allergies or dietary requirements from your guest list.
• Cake flavour and colour. The bakery will have a list of flavours for inside the cake, and cake also dye the inside to fit any theme, including a rainbow cake.
• Icing Flavour. Do you know if you want a fondant icing or regular icing on the outside? While fondant is what gives designer cakes their clean cut look and intricate designs, the consistency and flavour can sometimes be not sweet enough for kids to really enjoy.
• Photos Help. There are a plethora of photos on the internet to get inspiration from for your custom cake, and this can help bakeries to understand what you’re looking for and exceed your expectations. If you can have photos of cakes you like when ordering, this will make the process that much easier (and the cake that much better).
