Custom Cake Pricing and Designs
Real talk on what goes into a custom cake and what it actually costs to get one made right.
Here are some of the fun and quirky custom cakes I made in November, complete with pricing. From a tall minimalist design to a cake with a very specific inside joke, I love them all.
A look at some of the custom celebration cakes from October and what they cost. You can see a simple drip cake and a more elegant design with fresh baby's breath.
About Custom Cake Showcase & Pricing
Custom cakes are a balancing act between ingredients, labor, and the wild ideas you bring to me. Whether you want a simple birthday cake with a cheeky message or a tiered showstopper with fresh figs, the price reflects the time it takes to pipe, bake, and structure everything by hand.
Pricing Breakdown
-
Small & Sassy (500g–850g): These are perfect for an intimate celebration of 4 to 6 people. Think witty piped text and clean designs. Pricing starts at ₹1900. It is a solid choice if you want something fun without needing to feed an army.
-
Signature Vintage & Art Cakes (1kg–1.5kg): For a slightly larger crowd, up to 12 people, these cakes give me space to do that complex Lambeth piping or hand-painted details. You are looking at a range of ₹4200 to ₹5500 here.
-
Milestone Moments (2kg–3kg+): For the big days like weddings or 30th birthdays, my multi-tiered builds use internal structural dowels to keep everything standing tall. These feature premium touches like fresh florals or gold leaf and start at ₹7800.
Real Talk on Quality
People often ask why handmade costs more. It is because I am not using mass-produced mixes. I am working with 70% dark chocolate, real butter, and fresh fruit. Every dowel I put in is for structure, and every bit of piping is done by hand. If you have a wild theme or a specific inside joke you want on a cake, bring it. I love a challenge.
Logistics
Everything is baked fresh at my Cuffe Parade kitchen. I pack them in sturdy boxes so they survive the Mumbai traffic, but please treat them like a fragile baby once you are in the cab or car.
