What is the cost of a wedding cake by 23rdCake?
Determining the cost of your wedding or celebration cake is a highly personalized process, influenced by factors such as the number of guests, your chosen design, delivery distance, and various other considerations. Given this unique nature, providing a straightforward answer isn't always feasible. Recognizing the challenge of searching for wedding suppliers without clear pricing information, I aim to offer you some guidance on what budget to allocate for a 23rdCake wedding cake. To assist couples in this journey, I recommend starting by reading my blog post on deciding your wedding cake budget.

As you explore this page, you'll gain insights into what I can achieve with different budget ranges. While I typically offer buttercream cakes for a limited period each year, the focus of our discussion here will revolve around semi-naked and fondant wedding cakes, representing both the lower and higher ends of the pricing spectrum.
Cost of a Wedding Cake – Semi Naked
When considering the factors influencing the cost of a wedding cake, it becomes evident that a semi-naked cake is more cost-effective than a buttercream flower or wafer-paper flower wedding cake. This is primarily due to the reduced use of ingredients and the shorter time required for its creation. All decorations on 23rdCake's creations are entirely edible and crafted using premium ingredients. For instance, flowers are made from buttercream or wafer paper, while fruits and leaves are crafted from high-quality bean paste. Other decorations are meticulously fashioned from chocolate, contributing to a higher overall cost.
Creating lifelike and vibrant floral decorations, especially when using premium ingredients, demands meticulous attention to detail and a significant time investment from the creator. As emphasized earlier, the more flowers and additional decorations you choose, the higher the associated cost will be. To offer as much guidance as possible, I've provided starting prices for various cake sizes below. These estimates are based on the assumption of delivery within approximately 12 miles of Manchester with simple decoration. If this aligns with your preferences, the prices outlined below should offer a fairly accurate representation:
"It's crucial to note that the pricing reflects the use of premium ingredients and the craftsmanship involved in creating intricate and delectable cakes. For cakes with more elaborate decorations, the cost will naturally increase to account for the additional time and resources invested."
