How Much Does A Cake Cost?
Why does it cost so much for a bespoke cake?
Each day people call or come into the shop to order their cakes for special occasions.
We love chatting to our customers and designing their perfect cake but there is always one question we cannot answer.
‘How much does a cake cost?’
We price each cake size, flavour, finish, design and decoration so we simply cannot give an answer to that all-important question until we have discussed the needs of the customer.
Some cakes will cost more than others due to the ingredients used, some because of the time and skill it takes to create the designs requested and some because of the size of the chosen cake.
A rainbow cake will cost more than a Victoria sandwich for example because it has more layers.
A cake with ruffles will cost more than a flat iced cake because the ruffles alone can take over 7 hours to create.
Silver Grey Ruffle Wedding Cake
Sugarcrafted models will cost more than a printed design because of the skill needed to create them.
Unlike most major supermarkets we don’t charge more for allergen free cakes, although the ingredients do cost us more than standard ones we don’t pass this on to our customers as we feel that everyone deserves a cake for their special day that they can enjoy and afford.
We pride ourselves on being able to make a cake to suit all budgets and our classic range starting at just £15 really does mean people can have a well-crafted, freshly baked cake made with quality ingredients within their price range.
So the moral of the story is talk to us, tell us what you want and we can give you a quote for your perfect cake whether your budget is £15 or £1500 we really can help.
We know we are not the cheapest locally, but our customers tell us we are the best.
Every cake is freshly baked and individually hand crafted by Saffron and the team using top quality ingredients to ensure you can order from us with complete confidence that your cake will taste as good as it looks.
