What Does a Custom Cake Cost? Honest Price Guide
One of the first questions people ask when ordering a custom cake is: what does it cost? Fair question. At LittleCakesNL in Vlaardingen and Rotterdam, most custom cakes fall between €50 and €100. That range covers a lot, so let's break down what influences the price.
What Affects the Price of a Custom Cake
Size is the biggest factor. A 14 cm bento cake for two people costs less than a 22 cm cake for 20 guests. Not sure what size you need? Use our cake calculator to figure out the right size for your group.
Design complexity matters too. A simple two-tone buttercream finish takes less time than hand-piped flowers or detailed colour blending. More detail means more hours, which means a higher price.
Flavors and fillings can shift the cost slightly. Our standard options — vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry — are included in the base price. We don't charge extra for choosing chocolate ganache over vanilla cream, for example.
Why Custom Cakes Cost More Than Supermarket Cakes
A supermarket cake is mass-produced. A custom cake is made from scratch for your specific event, with your chosen flavors and design. Every cake we make uses real butter, quality chocolate, and fresh fruit fillings. There's no pre-made base sitting in a freezer.
You're also paying for skill and time. Designing, baking, filling, crumb-coating, and decorating a cake takes 4-6 hours of hands-on work. That's a full half-day dedicated to your order.
