Cakes that require the use of gold/silver/metallic color will also be more expensive. Details on the cake (example: ruffles, handpainted, edible print design, stenciled) We price mainly based on the skill level to do a cake (example: carved cakes, sharp edge fondant/buttercream/chantilly creme, gravity-defying, anime figurine). Some cake design may require minimal design but require high skill to execute. Size of the cake, real cake with dummy base for tiered cakes or all edible cake. Our quote price for a custom cake is fairly quoted based on the skill level and the details we put in to complete the cake. When you pay a cake designer to do a custom cake, you are paying for the time, effort, and our expertise to make the cake.
