All of Sugar Ninja Cakes are bespoke and designed specifically for each couple; therefore pricing will reflect this. Pricing a wedding cake can vary depending on several factors, including the size,complexity and intricacy of design, flavours, fillings, additional decorative elements and logistics of delivery. Here's a description of the factors typically considered when determining the pricing of a wedding cake:
Size: The size of the cake is a crucial factor in pricing. Larger cakes require more ingredients, baking time, and assembly effort, which can contribute to higher costs. The number of servings needed for your guest count will determine the size of the cake tiers or whether additional sheet cakes are required.
Design Complexity: The complexity of the cake design plays a significant role in pricing. Intricate designs, such as detailed hand piping, sugar flowers, or intricate fondant work, require more time and skill to create, resulting in higher costs compared to simpler designs.
Flavours and Fillings: The selection of flavours and fillings can affect the pricing. Certain ingredients or premium flavours might be more expensive, impacting the overall cost. Additionally, if you opt for multiple flavours or fillings within the cake layers, it may increase the pricing compared to a single flavour throughout.
Decorative Elements: Additional decorative elements, such as custom cake toppers, edible gold or silver leaf, hand-painted details, or intricate sugar decorations, can add to the cost of the cake. These elements require additional materials, expertise, and time to create, resulting in increased pricing.
Delivery and set up: Delivery is calculated on a mileage and time basis.
Remember that while price is an important consideration, it's equally important to prioritise the quality, taste, and design of the cake to ensure it aligns with your vision and creates a memorable experience for you and your guests on your special day.
After you make your initial enquiry with us, we will establish if we are available for your date and gather the essential details that are required to start the costing process. Initially we will need to know your chosen venue, anticipated guest numbers and an idea of the style of cake you are considering. From this we can provide you with an indication of the average cost based on these details; please remember that as all designs are bespoke, should a more intricate design be chosen then the cake cost will increase. Where possible I will always work with you to create the perfect cake for you to fit your budget.
