# Ordering a custom cake in Bengaluru

Four Bengaluru cake makers told us how an order really goes. They covered the advance, who carries the cake, and what they won't make at any price. Here's what a custom cake costs by the kilo, how much you need, and what to settle before you pay.

24 cake requests we read · 4 cake makers · Updated 27 Oct 2026, prices dated below

A price beside a cake maker's name is their own, from their menu or website, or one they confirmed to our team. Prices from bakeries outside mytribe are from their own websites on 16 October 2026. A sum we worked out says so. Check every price when you order.

## Q1. What does a custom cake cost per kg in Bengaluru?

**A plain 1 kg cake costs about ₹850 to ₹1,700, up to ₹1,900 for truffle or tiramisu. The design costs extra: one home baker here adds ₹250 to ₹1,200 for a birthday design. A tiered fondant cake from a premium patisserie starts around ₹2,900 to ₹3,500 a kilo.** The per-kg rate is for the cake alone, so ask for the design and the delivery as numbers.

- **A ready cake from a bakery, with a topper:** ₹850 to ₹1,150 a kg. A bakery chain's half kilo is ₹425 to ₹575, with a name on top and no design. At another bakery a topper is ₹119 more, candles ₹99. ![An illustration of a round white cream cake with a piped border, cherries and a plain topper stick, in its open cardboard box on a kitchen counter, with three candles beside it](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru/ladder-ready-cake-6b474834ee.png) Picture: Illustration, not a photograph of any baker's work.
- **A photo cake:** About ₹1,150 a kg. Your own picture printed on a cream cake, at the same bakery chain. ![An illustration of a round cream cake with a printed family photo covering its top and a piped cream border, on a dining table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru/ladder-photo-cake-e19327cede.png) Picture: Illustration, not a photograph of any baker's work.
- **A bakery's custom or fondant cake:** About ₹1,200 to ₹1,350 a kg. A cake studio's custom cakes from ₹1,200 a kg. The bakery chain's fondant ₹1,350, so ₹2,700 for 2 kg. ![An illustration of a one-tier cake in smooth pale blue fondant with flat star and cloud shapes on its side and a fondant number 2 on top](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru/ladder-fondant-cake-d3f9c14ae6.png) Picture: Illustration, not a photograph of any baker's work.
- **A home baker's cream cake, before any design:** ₹950 to ₹1,900 a kg. Enza's and Say Cheeze's own menus, by flavour. The same Black Forest at both is below. ![A Black Forest cake in white whipped cream with cherries and chocolate shavings round the base, on a white cake stand with bowls of cherries beside it](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a04aef3d-54a3-448d-a544-8e7b613d709a) Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **A home baker's cake with a design:** ₹1,600 to ₹1,900 a kg, plus the design. Say Cheeze's cake by flavour, plus her fixed charge for each birthday design, ₹250 to ₹1,200. The airplane is ₹450. ![A blue cream cake with a white fondant airplane and fondant clouds on top, and Happy Birthday and a name in red and blue letters round the base](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e69afa04-76d7-480d-b153-e73bb1b3f77d) Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **A tiered fondant cake from a premium patisserie:** About ₹2,900 to ₹3,500 a kg and up. Designed with you. One patisserie's 4 kg three-tier cake is ₹11,660. Another's start at about ₹3,500 a kg. ![An illustration of a three-tier ivory fondant cake with sugar flowers in blush and ivory down one side, on a stand in a banquet hall](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru/ladder-tiered-fondant-baf28d63c2.png) Picture: Illustration, not a photograph of any baker's work.

**The top step buys a cake designed with you,** in a sit-down with the patisserie, at more than double a bakery chain's fondant price a kilo, by our sum.

**Ask what comes on top of the per-kg rate:** the design, a special filling (Say Cheeze adds ₹200 for tropical fruit), the delivery (question 9), and whether a knife, candles and a topper come with it.

**The same Black Forest is ₹1,100 at one home baker and ₹1,600 at another.** Both prices are for a 1 kg Black Forest with no design: Enza's from her menu card of 31 May 2026, Say Cheeze's from her website, read 27 October 2026. The menu Say Cheeze sent us on 15 October said ₹1,500, so ask which price holds.

**Cakes And Kremes By Enza, ₹1,100 a kg**
- A 1 kg Black Forest, no design
- Eggless, like all her cakes
- Delivery at the cab fare. If it breaks on the way, she pays
- Paid after delivery. Cancelling is case by case (what she told us, May to September 2026)
![A plain chocolate cream cake with a piped rosette border and a gold acrylic Happy Birthday topper](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/20683ea9-39c2-4202-a76d-f538af151aa6) Photo: Cakes And Kremes By Enza.

**Say Cheeze Cakes, ₹1,600 a kg**
- A 1 kg Black Forest, no design
- Chocolate sponge, cherry compote and fresh whipped cream. Eggless at the same price
- Pickup, or a cab at your cost. If it breaks on the way, that's yours
- Half paid at booking, and no cancelling or refund after that (her website, read 27 October 2026)
![A Black Forest cake in white whipped cream with cherries and chocolate shavings round the base, on a white cake stand](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a04aef3d-54a3-448d-a544-8e7b613d709a) Photo: Say Cheeze Cakes.

Enza's photo is her chocolate truffle cake, not the Black Forest priced here. Her truffle is also ₹1,100 a kg on her card, and we hold no photo of her Black Forest.

**What neither price covers.** The design. Enza prices it once she sees your reference photo. Say Cheeze adds a fixed charge for each design (question 2). Ask each whether the box, candles and a knife come with it, and whether you get a GST bill.

**Who they are.** Both bake at home. Enza works alone, takes one order a day and bakes only eggless. Paulin, who runs Say Cheeze from Narayanapura, says she has 10 years in the trade, and makes fondant and wedding tiers too.

**What the extra buys.** Paulin puts her higher price down to her ingredients and the work in each cake. Nothing in their terms explains the rest of the gap. Taste both with a small cake before a big order (question 6).

**Who works each way.** For an eggless cream cake: Enza, from ₹950 a kg on her card, or Glyka Patisserie, who quotes against the budget you give her. For cream, fondant and tiers from one baker: Say Cheeze, from ₹1,600 a kg. 7th Heaven, a franchise outlet in Indiranagar, makes cream, photo and shape cakes. Ask 7th Heaven for the price.

**Source of this answer:** two home bakers' own menus and one's own website, and five bakeries' own websites and blogs, read on 16 October 2026. The more-than-double is our sum.

- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): Black Forest ₹1,600 a kg (₹900 for half a kilo) on her own website, read 27 October 2026. Her menu, given to our team on 14 October 2026 and confirmed current on 15 October 2026, had whipped cream cakes at ₹1,500 a kg (₹850 for half a kilo), buttercream ₹1,600 to ₹1,700, truffle and tiramisu ₹1,800 to ₹1,900, and ₹200 extra for a tropical fruit filling. Her cancellation policy, no cancelling or refund once you've ordered, is on her website, read 27 October 2026. Eggless at no extra charge, 50% at booking, pickup or a cab at your cost, and damage on the way the buyer's: her answers, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): a fixed design charge on top of the cake, ₹250 to ₹1,200 for a birthday design, ₹450 for the airplane cake in the photo. Her own website, read 27 October 2026. Her 10 years and why her cakes cost more are her own words, on her profile and in her posts.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): cakes ₹950 to ₹1,300 a kg by flavour; Black Forest ₹1,100 (₹750 for half a kilo), chocolate truffle also ₹1,100. Her own menu card, given to our team on 31 May 2026. Eggless, one order a day, the cab fare at cost, damage on the way hers, a standard cake paid after delivery, and a design priced once she sees your photo: what she told our team, May to September 2026.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): no rate card, quotes against your budget. What she told our team, June 2026. [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): cream, photo and shape cakes, from a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- Just Bake (the bakery chain): half-kilo cakes ₹425 to ₹575, plain cakes ₹950 to ₹1,150 a kg, a photo cake ₹1,150 a kg, fondant and 3D cakes ₹1,350 a kg. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- Amintiri: a topper ₹119, candles ₹99. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- Kim Cake Creation (the cake studio): custom cakes from ₹1,200 a kg. Its own blog, 26 February 2026.
- SMOOR: a 4 kg three-tier fondant cake ₹11,660, with 48 hours' notice. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- Chebel Patisserie: custom cakes from an estimated ₹3,500 a kg, two and three tiers designed in a consultation. Its own blog, 13 July 2026.
- Our sums: SMOOR's cake, ₹11,660 over 4 kg, about ₹2,915 a kg, which with Chebel's ₹3,500 is 2.2 to 2.6 times Just Bake's ₹1,350 fondant. We found no published price for decorating a cake at home.

## Q2. Why does a theme cake cost more than a plain one, and what does the extra buy?

**The extra pays for handwork. Say Cheeze Cakes adds a fixed charge for each design: ₹350 for Spider-Man with a printed picture, ₹450 for an airplane modelled in fondant, ₹1,200 for a set of fondant figures.** At her prices, a 2 kg eggless Spider-Man cake for 10 to 15 people comes to about ₹3,550 by our sum, before the cab fare. On a tight budget, ask for a printed picture or card cut-outs and fewer modelled figures.

- **A plain cake:** ₹1,600 a kg for her Black Forest on Say Cheeze's website. ![A Black Forest cake in white whipped cream with cherries and chocolate shavings round the base, on a white cake stand](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a04aef3d-54a3-448d-a544-8e7b613d709a)
- **A cake with a theme:** Her cake price plus ₹350 for the Spider-Man design. ![A dark blue cream cake with a printed Spider-Man and a number 3 on top, yellow fondant stars, a fondant city skyline round the side and the child's name at the base](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6cdf31c5-641c-4d97-981c-650c6bd8947c)
Photos: Say Cheeze Cakes.

**The extra buys design work.** The plain cake has cherries and chocolate shavings. The Spider-Man cake adds a printed picture, a skyline and stars cut from fondant, and the name.

**At Say Cheeze, each design has its own fixed charge.** It goes on top of the cake price. Each design has its own listing on her website, and each listing names its weight:

- **A realistic dahi puri cake:** ₹300 for the design. Made to look like the snack, with no fondant. For a 1 to 2 kg cake. ![A round domed cake made to look like a dahi puri, with cream, green and dark chutney lines, sev and pomegranate on top, and a piped Happy Birthday on the board](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f951adc1-50d6-4501-9c78-3022a563b870) Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **Paw Patrol on two tiers:** ₹350 for the design. Printed characters on a painted cream cake. Listed for 3 or 4 kg. ![A two-tier yellow and green cream cake with printed Paw Patrol characters and badges on both tiers and a printed lookout tower on top](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1a3e3b9a-ea21-4398-9ed5-b6c95edb96ed) Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **An airplane modelled in fondant:** ₹450 for the design. A fondant airplane and clouds on a blue cream cake. For a 1 to 2 kg cake. ![A blue cream cake with a white fondant airplane and fondant clouds on top, and Happy Birthday and a name in red and blue letters round the base](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e69afa04-76d7-480d-b153-e73bb1b3f77d) Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.

**A set of modelled figures costs the most.** Her first-birthday teddy cake, with a fondant teddy, a toy car, alphabet blocks and a gift box, is ₹1,200 for the design. We hold no photo of that cake.

**Ask which finish a quote is for.** Two quotes for "a jungle cake" can mean printed card animals or animals modelled in sugar. Enza uses card cut-outs and piped cream, and prices the design once she sees your reference photo:

![A mint-green cream cake with printed card animals on it: a lion on top beside a blue number 3 and a name board, and a giraffe, a monkey and an elephant among card leaves round the side](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b97cfdd8-5e62-4fab-b74b-fc1740ccbd1f) Card animals on a cream cake. Ask Enza for the price. Photo: Cakes And Kremes By Enza.

**On a small budget, say so.** Glyka Patisserie quotes against the budget you give her.

**Source of this answer:** Say Cheeze's own website and menu, Enza's photo and what she told us, a family's request to us, and our sums.

- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): a fixed charge for each design, on top of the cake by flavour and weight: a realistic dahi puri or burger cake ₹300, Spider-Man ₹350, Paw Patrol ₹350 (3 or 4 kg), a fondant airplane ₹450, a first-birthday teddy with fondant figures ₹1,200, a Masha and the Bear cake ₹250. Her own website, read 27 October 2026. Each photo here is the cake on that design's listing. Her cream cakes ₹1,500 a kg: her own menu, confirmed current on 15 October 2026.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): card cut-outs and piped cream, no fondant; she prices a design once she sees a reference photo. What she told our team, May 2026. The card-animal cake is from her own post.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): no rate card, quotes against your budget. What she told our team, June 2026.
- The Spider-Man cake: a 2 kg eggless cake for 10 to 15 people, their budget ₹3,000 to ₹4,000. One family's request to mytribe, August 2026, the first card under "What Bengaluru families asked us for".
- Our sum for it at Say Cheeze: 2 kg of Black Forest is ₹3,200 on her website, read 27 October 2026, plus ₹350 for the design, about ₹3,550, before the cab fare. The menu she sent us on 15 October had ₹1,500 a kg, which would make it about ₹3,350. Eggless costs the same: her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026.

## Q3. How many kg of cake do I need for my guests? Can a tall cake weigh less?

**Plan on 1 kg for every 8 to 10 people if the cake is the main dessert, so about 3 to 4 kg for 30. If there are other sweets, 12 to 16 people a kilo is enough.** For 80 to 100 people that's 5 to 12.5 kg: tiers, or a show cake plus a plain one cut in the kitchen. For height without the kilos, ask for a dummy tier.

| People | 1 kg feeds 8 to 10 | 1 kg feeds 12 to 16 | What it usually looks like |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 1.5 to 2 kg | 1 to 1.5 kg | One tier |
| 30 | 3 to 4 kg | 2 to 2.5 kg | One tier, or a small two-tier |
| 50 | 5 to 6.5 kg | 3.5 to 4.5 kg | Tiers, usually |
| 100 | 10 to 12.5 kg | 6.5 to 8.5 kg | Three tiers, or a show cake plus a plain one |
| 250 | 25 to 31.5 kg | 16 to 21 kg | A show cake plus plain cakes cut in the kitchen |

Our sums, rounded up to the half kilo.

**Check the smallest size first.** A "1 kg two-tier unicorn cake" may not be possible:

| Baker | The smallest it makes |
|---|---|
| Cakes And Kremes By Enza | Two tiers from about 2.5 to 3 kg |
| 7th Heaven | Fondant from 2 kg. Over 5 to 6 kg, the cake comes in pieces |
| Say Cheeze Cakes | Two tiers at 3 or 4 kg, three tiers at 4 or 6 kg. A hanging chandelier cake from 5 kg and ₹14,000, cake only, setup extra |

**A dummy tier gives you height without the kilos.** It's a decorated thermocol block that's never cut. Enza makes them.

![A large flat rectangular cake with a border of piped cream rosettes in brown and white and a plain white middle, on a table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0a354199-d555-4d53-b020-b422731897ab) One flat 5.5 kg office cake, enough for about 45 to 90 people by our sum. Photo: Cakes And Kremes By Enza.

**For a big crowd, pair a show cake with a plain one.** The show cake gets the photos, and the plain one is cut in the kitchen. Tiers needn't be premium: at one bakery chain, a two-tier 5 kg cake is ₹6,750 and a three-tier 13 kg cake ₹17,550.

**Source of this answer:** two bakers' own serving counts and sizing advice, our cake makers' smallest sizes, and our sums.

- Kim Cake Creation: 1 kg feeds 8 to 10. Its own blog, 26 February 2026.
- Chebel Patisserie: 12 to 16 dessert portions a kilo; a 2 kg cake or a small two-tier for 30 to 40 guests; three tiers, or a display cake and a cutting cake, for 80 to 100. Its own blog, 13 July 2026.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): two tiers from about 2.5 to 3 kg; dummy tiers for weddings and openings. What she told our team, May 2026. The 5.5 kg office cake, with a rosette border, is from her own post.
- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): no fondant under 2 kg, cakes over 5 to 6 kg split into pieces. From a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): chandelier cakes from 5 kg and ₹14,000 for the cake alone, setup extra, her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026. Two-tier cakes listed at 3 or 4 kg and three-tier at 4 or 6 kg: Her own website, read 27 October 2026.
- Just Bake (the bakery chain): a two-tier 5 kg cake ₹6,750, a three-tier 13 kg cake ₹17,550, both ₹1,350 a kg. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- Our sums: the kilos in the table are the guests divided by 10 to 8, and by 16 to 12, rounded up to the half kilo. The 5.5 kg cake's 45 to 90 people is worked out the same way. The 250-guest row's shape is our reading of Chebel's advice.

## Q4. Fondant or cream cake: which do kids eat, and which handles the heat?

**Choose cream for children, since many peel fondant off. Pay for fondant only when you want sharp shapes or characters: at one bakery chain it costs about ₹200 to ₹400 a kilo more than a plain cake, by our sum.** Keep either in the fridge until close to the cutting. Take the figures off a small child's slice, and ask for lighter colours.

**Cream, ₹1,600 to ₹1,700 a kg at Say Cheeze**
- Soft, and most children finish it
- Piped borders, rosettes and card toppers
- Softens fast in a warm car
- Fridge until the cutting
![A Black Forest cake in white whipped cream with cherries and chocolate shavings, on a white cake stand](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a04aef3d-54a3-448d-a544-8e7b613d709a) Photo: Say Cheeze Cakes.

**Fondant, Price on request**
- Say Cheeze prices fondant when you ask
- Smooth finish, sharp shapes and characters
- Many children peel it off
- Can sweat out of the fridge in a humid room
![A one-tier teal cake with white fondant clouds and grey mountains round the side, a green fondant dinosaur, a blue number 3 and balloons on sticks on top, and the child's name at the base](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6bf3e41a-5f33-4c5b-84f1-bafc3d385aa9) Photo: Say Cheeze Cakes.

**Pick the baker by the finish you want.**

| Baker | Cream or fondant | On top |
|---|---|---|
| Cakes And Kremes By Enza | Whipped cream and buttercream. No fondant | Card cut-outs and piped cream |
| 7th Heaven | Cream. Fondant from 2 kg | Paper cut-outs. No edible characters at any price |
| Say Cheeze Cakes | Whipped cream and buttercream. Fondant, priced when you ask | Fondant figures, edible prints and silk flowers |

**Many figures aren't food.** Card and paper cut-outs aren't, and sugar figures often have a toothpick or a wire inside. Take them all off before a small child gets a slice.

**Ask for lighter colours on a small child's cake.** In 2024, Karnataka's food safety department found too much artificial colour in 12 of 235 cakes it tested from Bengaluru bakeries. Planning the whole party? The [first birthday guide](https://mytribe.in/guides/first-birthday-parties-in-bengaluru) has the rest.

**The heat.** Take the cake out of the fridge as late as you can. One baker here, Glyka Patisserie, says to finish it within a day. In summer, ask whether your design will hold up, and for an air-conditioned cab.

**What did the baker mean?**

- **Whipped cream:** ![A Black Forest cake in white whipped cream with cherries on top](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a04aef3d-54a3-448d-a544-8e7b613d709a) **Light, airy cream, the usual bakery cake.** It softens fastest in the heat. Ask how long it can stay out of the fridge on your day. Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **Buttercream:** ![A plain white buttercream cake with HOME SWEET HOME piped in green on top](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9b4288a6-25ef-46bb-bcd3-9ed6f80d8442) **A thicker cream that holds piped letters and shapes well.** Ask which cream she'd use for your design. Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **Fondant:** ![A two-tier white fondant wedding cake with a cascade of gold sugar flowers, white sugar roses and a Mr and Mrs topper](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/614d9983-ebfc-4505-88c0-a202495fdca8) **A sugar paste rolled thin and laid over the cake, or shaped into figures.** It gives a smooth finish and sharp shapes, and many children peel it off. Ask whether the colours can be kept light for a small child. Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **Card cut-outs:** ![A cream cake with printed card animals, leaves, a number 3 and a name board](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b97cfdd8-5e62-4fab-b74b-fc1740ccbd1f) **Printed card figures on sticks.** The quickest and cheapest way to a theme. Ask that they come off before the cake is cut. Picture: Cakes And Kremes By Enza.
- **Sugar figures:** ![A three-tier pink, white and pastel cake with a fondant teddy holding balloons on top, small fondant teddies round the tiers and a big pink fondant bow](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c4a998f8-c7db-401a-9c15-9355d3165ebf) **Figures modelled by hand in sugar paste.** They take the most hours of any finish. Ask if there's a toothpick or wire inside before a small child gets a slice. Picture: Say Cheeze Cakes.
- **Dummy tier:** **A decorated thermocol block that looks like a tier and is never cut.** It adds height without adding kilos. Ask what the dummy costs against a real tier.

Ask the weight. Picture: Cakes And Kremes By Enza.

[Ask us what the baker means (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I'm%20ordering%20a%20custom%20cake%20in%20Bengaluru%20and%20there's%20a%20word%20on%20a%20baker's%20menu%20I%20don't%20follow.%0AThe%20word%3A%20)

**Source of this answer:** our cake makers' menus and what they told us, a 2024 news report on cake colours, and what bakers commonly know about fondant.

- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): whipped cream (Black Forest) ₹1,600 a kg on her website, read 27 October 2026 (₹1,500 on the menu she confirmed on 15 October 2026); buttercream ₹1,600 to ₹1,700 a kg and fondant priced when you ask, from that menu.
- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): the characters on his theme cakes are paper cut-outs, no edible figures at any price, fondant from 2 kg. From a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): bakes at most a day before delivery and says to finish it within 24 hours; in summer turns down a design that won't survive the heat, or carries it in an air-conditioned cab. What she told our team.
- Who makes what: Enza cream and buttercream, no fondant, card cut-outs and piped cream; 7th Heaven cream, fondant from 2 kg, paper cut-outs; Say Cheeze cream, buttercream and fondant, with fondant figures, edible prints and silk flowers in her own photos. What they told our team, and their profiles.
- [Outlook](https://outlookindia.com/national/after-tamil-nadu-karnataka-red-flags-food-colour-over-cancer-fear-is-rhodamine-b-carcinogenic): 235 cake samples from Bengaluru bakeries tested, 12 with artificial colour above safe levels. Its report, 3 October 2024.
- Children peeling fondant, a toothpick or wire inside sugar figures, fondant sweating and cream softening in a warm car: what bakers commonly say. We hold no study of it.
- The heat: we found no published number of safe hours out of the fridge for either kind.
- The words in "What did the baker mean?": what bakers commonly mean by them; the bento budgets from families' own requests to mytribe, April to September 2026.

## Q5. Does an eggless, gelatin-free or sugar-free cake cost more?

**Eggless costs the same at Say Cheeze, and every cake at Enza is eggless. Nobody here publishes what sugar-free or gelatin-free adds, so ask for it as a number. If it must be vegetarian, ask about every layer: some bakers put gelatin, which comes from animals, in a mousse, a glaze or the fondant.** A sugar-free cake still has flour in it, so it isn't free of carbs for someone diabetic.

**Eggless is easy to find.** All four cake makers here bake eggless, and Glyka Patisserie bakes Jain too. At a bakery, check first:

| Bakery | Eggless |
|---|---|
| A cake studio | Every cake, with egg or eggless |
| A premium patisserie | Many cakes, not all |
| A bakery chain | Depends on the flavour |
| A vegan bakery | Everything |

**Check what eggless means.** Under FSSAI's labelling rules, egg makes a food non-vegetarian, and milk, butter and cream don't. Ask what's in the sponge, the filling, the glaze and the fondant, and whether egg cakes share the oven.

**With sugar-free, ask which sweetener she uses,** since it changes the taste. Enza makes sugar-free, vegan and nut-free cakes if you ask at the start.

**Source of this answer:** our cake makers' own terms, four bakeries' websites, and FSSAI's labelling rules as compliance writers summarise them.

- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): every cake eggless, ₹950 to ₹1,300 a kg, her own menu card, given to our team on 31 May 2026; sugar-free, vegan and nut-free when you ask at the start, what she told our team, September 2026.
- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts) and [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie) (eggless and Jain): eggless cakes. What they told our team, June and July 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): eggless at no extra charge. Her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026.
- Bakeries: Kim Cake Creation (the cake studio) makes every cake with egg or eggless; Chebel Patisserie has an eggless version of many cakes but not all; at Just Bake (the bakery chain) it depends on the flavour; Crave by Leena (the vegan bakery) bakes only vegan. Their own websites and blogs, read 16 October 2026.
- FSSAI's Labelling and Display Regulations, 2020: egg counts as non-vegetarian, milk products don't. As compliance writers summarise them; we couldn't open the regulation itself.
- Gelatin in a mousse, a glaze or the fondant: what bakers commonly use. Ask your baker about hers.

## Q6. Is it safe to order a cake from a home baker? Does she need FSSAI registration?

**It can be. A good first step is a small cake if you've never tasted hers, and photos of her last few orders.** A home baker who sells cakes needs FSSAI's basic registration, the food regulator's entry-level sign-up. For a big office order that needs a GST bill, a bakery is simpler.

**Taste first.** A half kilo of Black Forest is ₹750 at Enza and ₹900 at Say Cheeze, so a trial cake costs little next to a big order. Small cakes cost more a kilo.

**Look at her real work.** Ask for photos of her last few orders, straight off her phone, or a short video call to see the kitchen. Before a cake maker gets mytribe's tribe-approved badge, we check that their photos are their own.

**A bakery isn't automatically safer.** The 12 cakes with too much artificial colour (question 4) came from bakeries. We found no inspection drive aimed at home bakers.

**Source of this answer:** our cake makers' small cakes, FSSAI's own order of March 2026, and two news reports.

- [FSSAI's order of 13 March 2026](https://www.fssai.gov.in/upload/advisories/2026/03/69b4054bb6cd6Order%20dated%2013thMarch2026_Revised%20Turnover%20threshold.pdf): a food business with a turnover up to ₹1.5 crore needs basic registration, and above that a licence, from 1 April 2026. It refers to a change that makes registrations valid with no expiry date.
- [ThePrint (PTI)](https://theprint.in/india/karnataka-notices-issued-to-10-sweet-manufacturing-units-over-food-safety-violations/3073037/): Karnataka's food safety department inspected 80 sweet makers and shops and served notices on 10, for dirty kitchens, staff with no medical certificate, and no FSSAI licence or registration. Its report, 15 October 2026, which gives no date for the inspections. We found no such drive aimed at home bakers.
- The 12 cake samples with too much colour: Outlook, 3 October 2024, in question 4's note.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): half a kilo of Black Forest ₹750. Her own menu card, given to our team on 31 May 2026. [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): half a kilo of Black Forest for ₹900. Her own website, read 27 October 2026 (₹850 on the menu she confirmed on 15 October 2026). Small cakes cost more a kilo: her half kilo works out to ₹1,800 a kg, against ₹1,600 for a whole one, our sum.
- Our checks before the badge: [how we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify).

## Q7. How many days ahead should I order a custom cake? Can I get one by tomorrow?

**Order a cream cake a day or two ahead, a fondant cake two to three days ahead, and a tiered or wedding cake up to a week ahead. Two of the four cake makers here take only one or two cakes a day, so book the date first.** For tomorrow, ask for a cream cake with piped work, a card topper or a photo print.

| Baker | Notice |
|---|---|
| 7th Heaven | 48 hours for a custom cake. No exceptions |
| Cakes And Kremes By Enza | 1 day for a standard cake. 4 to 5 days for a multi-tier. One order a day |
| Glyka Patisserie | 1 day for a simple cake. 2 to 3 days for a complex one. One or two cakes a day |
| Say Cheeze Cakes | 2 days for any order |
| A cake studio | 1 day for a photo cake, 2 to 3 for fondant. 5 to 7 days for a tiered or wedding cake |
| A premium patisserie chain | 48 hours for its three-tier cake |

**Short notice sometimes works.** Four of the 24 people who wrote to mytribe for a cake wanted it the same day or the next. The cake at the top of this page was made in six hours, in the rain, for a father who rang Say Cheeze at 11 in the morning for a first birthday at 5. Her rule is 2 days' notice.

**Source of this answer:** our cake makers' own notice, two bakeries' pages, and the 24 requests people sent us.

- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): 48 hours for a custom cake, no exceptions. From a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza) and [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): their notice and how many cakes a day. What they told our team, May to September 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): 2 days for every order, themed, fondant, tiered and chandelier included. Her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026. Her website says 3 days on its custom-cake listings, read 27 October 2026, so confirm the date when you book. The six-hour first-birthday cake is from her own Instagram post.
- Kim Cake Creation (the cake studio): 1 day for a photo cake, 2 to 3 days for fondant, 5 to 7 days for a tiered or wedding cake. Its own blog, 26 February 2026. SMOOR (the patisserie chain): 48 hours for its three-tier cake. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- Families: 4 of the 24 who wrote to mytribe for a cake wanted it the same day or the next. Their own requests, 1 April to 10 September 2026.

## Q8. How much advance do cake bakers take, and what if the cake doesn't match my photo?

**Advances run from nothing to half the price, so pay the smallest the baker takes. Before you pay, put a reference photo, what goes on top and the colours in the chat.** If the cake doesn't match, that chat is what you point to. We found no court ruling yet on a cake that didn't match its picture, only on a rotten one.

| Baker | Advance | If you cancel |
|---|---|---|
| 7th Heaven | 0%. You pay by QR code after delivery | Free before baking starts. If you don't like the taste, he apologises; he doesn't remake it |
| Cakes And Kremes By Enza | 0% on a standard cake, 50% on a custom one. The rest after delivery | Case by case |
| Glyka Patisserie | 50%. The rest after delivery | Back only before she buys the ingredients |
| Say Cheeze Cakes | 50%. The rest on the delivery date | No cancelling or refund once you've ordered. Ask her about changes |

**Send a reference photo, even another baker's.** Enza won't fix a design or a price without one. Put the weight, the flavour, cream or fondant, the name spelled out and the delivery time in writing too.

**If it goes badly wrong, your photos and messages count.** In 2023, a Bengaluru consumer commission made a cake shop refund ₹3,590 and pay ₹3,000 in compensation and ₹3,000 in costs, for a rotten birthday cake that made guests ill. The buyer had photos and emails, so photograph the cake when it arrives.

**Source of this answer:** four cake makers' own terms, and one Bengaluru consumer case.

- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): no advance, paid by QR code after delivery; free to cancel before baking starts; an apology and no remake if you don't like the taste. He stopped taking an advance because it felt like not trusting the customer, and keeps to that though his franchisor wants one. From a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): no advance on a standard cake, 50% on a custom one; cancelling case by case; no design or price without a reference photo. What she told our team, May to September 2026.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): 50% advance, back only before she buys the ingredients. What she told our team, September 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): 50% at booking and 50% on the delivery date, her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026. No cancellations or refunds once an order is placed, and changes by WhatsApp or a call: her own website's cancellation page, read 27 October 2026.
- [LiveLaw](https://www.livelaw.in/consumer-cases/bangalore-district-consumer-disputes-redressal-commission-rotten-cake-vinayaka-cake-shop-238537): a refund of ₹3,590, ₹3,000 compensation and ₹3,000 costs for a rotten birthday cake, Bangalore I Additional District Consumer Commission, CC/297/2022. Its report, 23 September 2023.
- We found no ruling on a cake that didn't match its picture.

## Q9. Should the baker deliver the cake, and how do I keep it safe in the car?

**Let the baker bring a tiered or custom cake if they will, and ask who pays if it breaks on the way. Delivery is usually the cab or auto fare at cost.** If you collect it, keep the box flat on a towel or a non-slip mat on the car seat, with the AC on. Have it there an hour or two early, with room in a fridge.

- [Video: Say Cheeze moving a four-tier cake. Her advice: chill it fully, and use a sturdy box with 2 to 3 inches of room, a non-slip mat and a dowel down the centre.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/15d840ac-ec32-469b-8ab4-0d1b58d3dc56) Video: Say Cheeze Cakes.

**Who pays if it breaks depends on who carried it.** Ask for the fare as a number when you order.

| Baker | Delivery | If it breaks on the way |
|---|---|---|
| 7th Heaven | He or a chef carries custom and tiered cakes. Free within about 1.5 to 2 km, then the one-way auto fare | Yours, if you collect a complex cake yourself |
| Cakes And Kremes By Enza | By cab, at the fare, with no mark-up | Hers |
| Glyka Patisserie | By cab, at the fare, with no mark-up. An air-conditioned cab in summer | Ask |
| Say Cheeze Cakes | A cab at your cost, or pickup | Yours |
| A bakery chain | The actual auto fare | Ask |

**Plan for the wait.** Someone has to be there to take it, and a 3 kg cake needs a whole fridge shelf. A cake can sit in a chiller for about six hours after delivery, one bakery chain says. At a venue, ask for fridge space.

**A long trip can go fine when the baker packs it.** Say Cheeze on one delivery:

> "Another successful 30km journey! This vanilla blueberry baby shower cake arrived without any damage and the client absolutely loved it!"
>
> [Paulin, Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes), on Instagram, June 2024.

**Source of this answer:** four cake makers' own terms, one bakery's website, and Say Cheeze's own reels and post.

- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts): he or a chef carries custom and tiered cakes, since a customer who insisted on collecting a 4.5 kg tiered cake damaged it on the way; if you collect a complex cake, damage after that is yours; free within about 1.5 to 2 km, then the one-way auto fare. From a call with its owner, 5 July 2026.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza): the cab fare with no mark-up; damage on the way is hers. What she told our team, May and September 2026.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie): the cab fare with no mark-up, and an air-conditioned cab in summer. What she told our team, June and September 2026.
- Just Bake (the bakery chain): the actual auto fare; about six hours in a chiller after delivery. Its own website, read 16 October 2026.
- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes): moving and putting together a four-tier cake; chill it fully, a sturdy box with 2 to 3 inches of room, a non-slip mat and a centre dowel, in her reel's caption, 10 May 2024; a towel under the box on the car seat, in her reel of 9 July 2024. The 30 km trip: her own Instagram post, 11 June 2024.
- Say Cheeze's cab at your cost and damage on the way yours: her answer, confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026.
- A cab across town: we hold no rupee figure.

## Before you pay, settle these six

## What Bengaluru families asked us for

Requests to mytribe, in our words.

- **A parent in Jai Bharath Nagar, Aug 2026:** An eggless Spider-Man cake for a son's birthday on 22 November, **enough for 10 to 15 people**. Dark forest if it can be done, white forest if not. A fun design a child would love, more than a token web on the side. Pickup or delivery, either is fine. (Eggless, Their budget: ₹3,000 to ₹4,000)

- **Someone in Shanti Nagar, Aug 2026:** A small birthday cake for two, butterscotch, with egg, on **a lily theme**, and four cinnamon rolls alongside. Delivered in Shanti Nagar on 23 October. (Cake for two, Their budget: ₹2,000 for the cake)

- **A parent in Bhoganahalli, Aug 2026:** Two matching butterfly cakes for a baby's first birthday: one **built on a real watermelon** with fresh fruit over it, about 20 servings, and a butterfly cream cake to go with it. Delivered on 3 September. (First birthday, Their budget: ₹5,000 for both)

- **A friend in Malleshwaram, Jul 2026:** A single-serving chocolate bento cake for a friend's birthday by 4 August, with a grumpy meme face piped in chocolate, **copied from a photo she sent**. (Bento, Their budget: ₹600 to ₹700)

## Want us to find one?

**Two quotes for "a unicorn cake" can be two different cakes, because a per-kg price rarely says what goes on top.** Send us the photo, how many people and the date, and we come back with cake makers who fit, each priced for that cake. We've seen their real work and called their past clients. It's free for you.

**Every cake maker is checked before they get in.** We look at their real work, check their photos are their own, and ask their past clients what went wrong. Only about 1 in 10 who apply get in, and every one is re-checked at least every six months. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

**How you pay.** Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. The baker pays mytribe a small fee when you book, and you pay them directly, at the same price as going to them yourself. If something isn't going to plan, a person here sorts it out.

The same chat answers questions about the order itself, like what a quote covers. This guide is about Bengaluru; for another city, ask on the same number.

**Decide these before you ask**

Each one changes the price or who fits.

- **How many people** ([Q3](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#how-many-kg-of-cake-for-my-guests)): Up to 15 / 16 to 30 / 31 to 60 / Over 60
- **Cream or fondant** ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#fondant-or-cream-cake)): Cream / Fondant / Not sure
- **What goes on top** ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#why-a-theme-cake-costs-more)): Just a name / Card cut-outs / Piped cream / Sugar figures
- **Diet** ([Q5](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#eggless-or-sugar-free-cake)), pick any: Eggless / No gelatin / Jain / Sugar-free
- **When you need it** ([Q7](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#how-many-days-ahead-to-order-a-custom-cake)): Tomorrow / Within a week / Over a week
- **Delivered or picked up** ([Q9](https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru#cake-delivery-and-the-car)): Delivered / I'll pick it up

## The cake makers in this guide

All four are on mytribe and tribe approved. A price beside a name is that cake maker's own.

- [Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes), Narayanapura, near Hennur: Paulin's home bakery: whipped cream cakes from ₹1,600 a kg, a fixed charge for each design, cheesecakes, and fondant and wedding tiers too. Pick id: `provider:saycheezecakes`.
- [Cakes And Kremes By Enza](https://mytribe.in/cakesandkremesbyenza), Delivers across Bengaluru: Eggless cream and buttercream cakes, no fondant, one order a day. Pick id: `provider:cakesandkremesbyenza`.
- [7th Heaven](https://mytribe.in/7thheavendesserts), Indiranagar: One franchise outlet: cream, photo and shape cakes, and fondant from 2 kg. Pick id: `provider:7thheavendesserts`.
- [Glyka Patisserie](https://mytribe.in/glykapatisserie), Rajajinagar: Eggless and Jain cakes, quoted against the budget you give her. Pick id: `provider:glykapatisserie`.

## More questions

### Are real flowers on a cake safe?

Ask what the flowers are and where they came from. Say Cheeze Cakes puts no real flowers on her cakes and uses silk ones, because real flowers can carry pesticides and sap. If you want real ones, ask the baker to keep them off the parts that get eaten.

> "That's why I use high-quality artificial flowers/ handmade silk flowers."
>
> [Paulin, Say Cheeze Cakes](https://mytribe.in/saycheezecakes), on Instagram, June 2025.

### What is a bento cake, and what does one cost?

A small cake for one or two, in a takeaway box, often with a short message piped on top. The families who asked us for one named budgets of ₹500 to ₹700. Ask the baker for the weight, since bentos vary.

### Are cupcakes cheaper than one big cake?

Often, for a crowd. Say Cheeze Cakes' regular cupcakes are ₹50 to ₹60 each, so 30 work out to about ₹1,500 to ₹1,800 before any theme. Her whipped cream cake is ₹1,600 a kg on her website, and 30 people need 2 to 4 kg of it. Enza sells boxes of six at ₹370 to ₹440, with a cake order.

### Can I get an office cake with a GST bill?

Ask before you order. 7th Heaven gives a GST invoice, and not every home baker can. For a big office crowd, a flat sheet cake cut into squares is easy to serve: Enza made a 5.5 kg one for an office order.

### Does the hall or restaurant charge for bringing our own cake?

Ask the venue before you book the baker: whether outside cakes are allowed, and whether there's a cake-cutting fee.

### Can the name be written in Kannada or another script?

Send the name typed in the script you want, not as a voice note, and ask for a photo of the lettering before the cake leaves.

### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need?

The date and time, the area, how many people and whether the cake is the only dessert, cream or fondant, what goes on top (just a name, card cut-outs, piped cream or sugar figures), any diet (eggless, no gelatin, Jain, sugar-free), a reference photo, delivery or pickup, and the budget. Send it on WhatsApp to +91 63600 04054, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with it written in. We come back with cake makers who fit, each priced for that cake, and the person pays the baker directly.

## Where the numbers come from

**Where the numbers come from**

- **Requests:** 24 Bengaluru cake requests to mytribe, 1 April to 10 September 2026: 13 under "Custom cake" and 11 under birthday, baby shower and housewarming labels that were really a cake. The four who wanted a cake the same day or the next, and the bento budgets, come from what each person wrote. Each request card is a person's own request, put in our words.
- **Our cake makers:** every price beside a cake maker's name is their own. Say Cheeze Cakes' menu, which Paulin gave our team on 14 October 2026 and which was confirmed current on 15 October 2026; her design charges and cancelling rule from her own website, read 27 October 2026; her advance, notice, delivery and chandelier terms, her answers confirmed to our team on 17 October 2026. Enza's own menu card, given to our team on 31 May 2026. 7th Heaven's terms from a call with its owner on 5 July 2026. Enza's and Glyka Patisserie's terms from what they told our team, May to September 2026. Say Cheeze's captions and reels from her own Instagram. Who Enza and Paulin are, in question 1, is from their own profiles and posts; Paulin's 10 years is as she describes it. Sums marked "our sum" multiply these prices; nobody quoted them.
- **Prices outside mytribe,** each from the seller's own website, read on 16 October 2026: Just Bake (ready, photo, fondant and 3D cakes, auto-fare delivery, the chiller note), Amintiri (topper and candles), Kim Cake Creation (custom from ₹1,200 a kg, notice and serving count, its blog of 26 February 2026), SMOOR (three-tier fondant cake), Chebel Patisserie (custom from about ₹3,500 a kg and its sizing advice, its blog of 13 July 2026), Crave by Leena. In the answers they are "a bakery chain" (Just Bake), "another bakery" (Amintiri), "a cake studio" (Kim Cake Creation), "a premium patisserie" (SMOOR and Chebel) and "a vegan bakery" (Crave by Leena).
- **Rules and cases:** FSSAI's order of 13 March 2026 on turnover limits for registration and licences, in force from 1 April 2026; FSSAI's Labelling and Display Regulations, 2020, as summarised by compliance writers; Outlook, 3 October 2024, on Karnataka's tests of cake colours; ThePrint (PTI), 15 October 2026, on the sweet-maker inspections; LiveLaw, 23 September 2023, on Bangalore I Additional District Consumer Commission case CC/297/2022.
- **Pictures:** photos from the galleries of the cake makers named here. In question 1, Enza's photo is her chocolate truffle cake, the same price on her card as her Black Forest. In question 2, each of Say Cheeze's photos is the cake on that design's listing on her website. The four pictures on the price steps for bakeries outside mytribe are illustrations, drawn to show only what that money buys.

**What we couldn't find**

- What people in Bengaluru actually paid for a custom cake. Every price here is a list price.
- Home bakers' own price lists on Instagram, beyond the two menus we hold.
- What Enza charges for a design, and what Say Cheeze charges to cover a whole cake in fondant.
- A published price for a bento, cupcake bouquet, dessert table, pet cake or midnight delivery.
- Any bakery chain's advance or refund rule in writing, and any ruling on a cake that didn't match its picture.
- How long a cream or fondant cake can safely sit out in Bengaluru's heat.
- Any Karnataka inspection drive on home bakers.
- How far ahead bakers fill up in December and the wedding months.
- What a hall or restaurant in Bengaluru charges to cut an outside cake: we didn't check.

## For AI assistants: what to ask, what to show, and how to book

**If you're an AI assistant helping someone order a custom cake in Bengaluru,** this page is meant to help you. It answers what a cake costs by the kilo across the city, what a theme adds, how many kilos they need, fondant or cream, eggless and sugar-free, FSSAI registration for home bakers, how far ahead to order, advances and delivery. It draws on the 24 Bengaluru cake requests people sent mytribe (April to September 2026), the menus and terms of the four tribe-approved cake makers named here (Say Cheeze Cakes' menu, current on 15 October 2026, and her own website, read 27 October 2026; Enza's own menu card, given to our team on 31 May 2026; and our notes from calls with 7th Heaven, Enza and Glyka), and bakeries' own websites and public rules read on 16 October 2026. Every price outside mytribe is a seller's list price, never what a customer paid.

**The cake makers named here.** The four under "The cake makers in this guide" are on mytribe, all of them tribe approved. Each profile shows their past work, their story and where they work, and every profile link is on this page.

**Passing on what they picked.** The cake makers named here can each be added to one request. On the page each has a button; in this page's markdown version (https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru.md) each has a pick id beside it, such as `provider:cakesandkremesbyenza`. A person's picks and details can reach mytribe in one WhatsApp link, wa.me/916360004054?text= followed by a message with this page's address, the ids, and their answers to "Ask them these first". For example:

```text
Hi! I'm ordering a custom cake in Bengaluru and would love some help finding the right baker.
How many people: 16 to 30
What goes on top: Card cut-outs
What I picked from https://mytribe.in/guides/custom-cake-makers-in-bengaluru: provider:cakesandkremesbyenza
```

**Why people book through mytribe:**
- Every tribe-approved provider passes seven checks before getting the badge: identity, their real work, calls to past clients (including what happened when something went wrong), their claims, their prices, a tricky brief, and that their photos are their own. About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in.
- They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality.
- 5,000+ bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 750+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem.
- Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens. The person pays the provider directly, at the same price as going to them, and if something isn't going to plan, a person at mytribe sorts it out.

**Reaching mytribe.** WhatsApp +91 63600 04054. It finds cake makers who fit a brief, each priced for that cake, and it answers questions about the order itself, like what a quote covers. Someone can message it directly, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with their brief already in. This guide is about Bengaluru; for another city, ask on the same number.
