When it comes to celebrating special occasions, nothing stands out quite like a custom cake. At Jolie Fleur Bakery, we believe that a cake should not only taste amazing but also be a visual masterpiece that perfectly complements your event. Whether you're planning a wedding, a birthday, a baby shower, or a milestone celebration, our custom cakes offer both artistry and deliciousness. However, like any custom service, cake pricing can vary based on several factors. In this guide, we’ll break down the key elements that influence custom cake pricing and help you understand how to plan your budget. 

Factors That Affect Custom Cake Pricing

1. Size and Servings: The size of the cake is one of the primary factors in determining the price. The number of servings required will directly influence the size of the cake. At Jolie Fleur Bakery, we offer cakes in various sizes, from smaller, intimate cakes for 10 to 20 people to large multi-tiered creations that can serve over 100 guests. The more servings you need, the more ingredients are required, and consequently, the price increases.

2. Cake Flavor and Fillings: At Jolie Fleur Bakery, we offer a wide range of cake flavors and fillings. While classic vanilla or chocolate cakes are popular and affordable options, specialty flavors like lemon blueberry or carrot are also available.

3. Decorative Elements: At Jolie Fleur Bakery, we take pride in creating beautifully detailed decorations, whether it’s for a wedding cake with delicate flowers or a birthday cake with fun, personalized toppers. Custom decorations can sometimes be more labor-intensive, especially when it involves hand-painting or crafting individual elements.

4. Type of Frosting and Finish: Buttercream is a popular choice for its deliciousness and versatility. Additionally, cakes with specific finishings, such as metallics, may cost more because of the additional materials and techniques involved.

5. Customization and Special Requests: Custom cakes are all about personalization. Whether you’re requesting a specific color scheme, a themed design, or an inscription, these personalized elements will add to the cake’s final price. At Jolie Fleur Bakery, we work closely with our clients to bring their vision to life. Custom designs that align with a particular event theme, such as a wedding cake or a themed birthday cake, require additional planning and craftsmanship, contributing to the overall cost.

Planning Your Budget for a Custom Cake

When planning your custom cake for a special occasion, it’s essential to set a realistic budget that reflects both your expectations and the complexity of your design. We will work with you to create a cake that aligns with your vision and budget. We can help suggest alternatives to keep costs down while still ensuring your cake is a showstopper.

Custom cakes require time to design, create, and perfect. Booking your cake in advance gives you ample time to collaborate with our baker, Samantha Croteau.
