Hi all, just wondering how much people are paying for their cake? I have a quote for the exact cake I want for approx £300. Its a 3 tierd stacked cake, 2 sponge, 1 chocolate, complete with decoration?? Does this sound like a good price? Its for approx 100 guests? x

That's a really good deal I think as we have been qouted prices between 350 and 500 when looking recently and one of tthem was only a 2 ttier. X
My sister made ours - a 3 tier choc orange sponge, lemon sponge and small top tier of fruit - so we didn't have to pay anything for it. But I was told to budget up to £500 for our cake. I was stunned - all we wanted was something really simple, but apparently, that's how much a 3 tier for up to 100 people costs. I'm still shocked, tbh! So, with that in mind, I think that you have yourself a good deal there :)
Vegas baby!

My 3 tier cake is £300. There is a vanilla, chocolate and fruit tier. We only saw one cake maker so not sure how the price relates to other cake makers.
CommentAuthorbarbie86
All the quotes I've had have been between £380-500: that's for a 4 tier (fruit; lemon; chocolate; sponge) with fairly minimal decoration. I'm in the London/Berks area, which is quite expensive.
The cost usually depends on the size and amount of decoration :-)

I'm going to see a cake lady today, I've not seem any before so I'm not sure yet how much they charge but I'm expecting up to 300. We only want a simple cake to x x

We are having top tier fruit and 4 tiers of miniature cakes (56 of them in coffee and walnut and lemon,)) as our main cake and 30 extra cupcakes(strawberry and vanilla) to put on our sweetie station and it's come to £310. Which I was pleasantly surprised with.
Back with my 1st love after 12 years apart.

Well I went today and we are having a cupcake tower with one tier at the top to cut. To feed 80 guests, 60 cupcakes and a cake for 20 it's going to cost us 200. I'm really pleased with that x x

That's a really good price, some quotes you get are ridiculous. In the end we've paid £350 for 4 tiers - 2 chocolate, 2 vanilla sponge xx
