Wedding Cake Prices.. let's discuss
If you’re currently exploring modern wedding cake prices in the UK, this page will give you a helpful starting point.
YOUR INVESTMENT
Investment is naturally one of the first questions when planning your wedding cake, and something we discuss early on.
If you’ve found your way here, you’ve likely connected with my work or even tasted my cakes! However, as each piece is individually crafted, I don’t work from a fixed price list.
Each cake is designed and crafted from scratch, with a focus on contemporary design, refined finishes, and exceptional flavour. Over the years, I’ve trained with internationally recognised cake artists, refining both my techniques and flavour profiles.
Every quotation reflects the level of artistry, detail, and service behind it, alongside the design itself.
In 2026, a minimum investment of £700 applies to all wedding cake commissions, excluding delivery. This can also include a smaller cake paired with curated edible elements for your celebration.
WEDDING CAKE PRICES GUIDE
To give you a helpful guide, here are starting prices based on some of the most commonly requested sizes.
Final investment will vary depending on design, detailing, and overall scale.
Starting prices are based on classic round tiers, encased in ganache, finished with fondant depending on the style and level of detail required.

Tiers larger than 12″ are created using dummy or cutting cakes to maintain design and ease of service. Dummy tiers are decorated identically to real cake
The more modern long cakes, heart-shaped Lambeth cakes and the very on-trend Italian-style cakes are priced individually.
PORTION & DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
The size of your cake is guided by your guest numbers, but also by the design you’re drawn to.
Many couples choose to cater for around 75–80% of their guests, as not everyone will opt for cake, though this is entirely your choice.
This chart will give you an idea of portion sizing based on dessert slices of 1″x1″x4″But please note a lot of my cakes will have different heights.
I will advise you at the consultation
If you love the look of a taller cake without needing additional portions, decorative tiers can be incorporated seamlessly. Likewise, additional cutting cakes can be added behind the scenes to ensure all your guests are served.
