Wedding Cake Pricing

We have two categories of wedding cakes:

Custom-Designed Cakes - For couples who have a specific vision for their wedding cake and want to incorporate meaningful elements into their design. A phone consultation is necessary to discuss options and clarify all of the details. A quote is provided via email afterward. Pricing for our Custom-Designed Wedding Cakes is calculated in two steps...

Step 1 - The BASE price: This is the cost for JUST the cake - (baked, filled, iced, and assembled). It is determined by the number of servings needed, your flavor choice, and your icing preference. Base pricing starts at $5.50/serving and increases from there, depending on the cake, filling, and icing that you choose.

Step 2 - The Design: This is the cost of making your cake into a beautiful piece of art. It is determined by the amount of time/labor required, the cost of any special materials used, and the skill level needed to execute the design. After we calculate the cost of your design, we add this amount to the base price of your cake, and that gives us the total cost (excluding delivery). On average, our custom-designed cakes cost between $8 - $12 per serving. It's important to note - the more time and materials needed to create your design, (i.e. - the fancier the cake), the higher the cost will be. Please keep this in mind when considering your budget.

Pre-Designed Cakes - For couples who want a simple, yet elegant and classic wedding cake, we've selected some of our popular, signature designs. Customization is limited with these cakes, which puts them at a lower price point. Our Pre-Designed Wedding Cakes are $7.25 per serving in a basic cake flavor with vanilla buttercream filling (specialty and premium cake/filling flavors are an additional cost). Please see our gallery of pre-designed wedding cakes (located below our custom-designed cake gallery), for twelve, beautiful design choices.

Delivery - There is an additional cost for wedding cake delivery - this is determined by the amount of time and mileage it takes to travel to and from the venue. (Delivery is offered for FULL-sized wedding cake/cupcake orders only.)

A Budget Friendly Option:
Kitchen Cakes (not sheet cakes)

Kitchen cakes can be purchased along with a custom wedding cake (minimum of 65 servings); OR, a pre-designed cake (minimum of 75 servings). This is a money-saving option for couples who have a large number of guests to feed. You can design your dream wedding cake on a smaller scale, and then order “kitchen cakes” to provide the extra number of servings you need. These are not sheet cakes. Sheet cakes are rectangular slab cakes with icing on top that are cut into chunks. We think it's pretty tacky to serve your guests chunks of a sheet cake when they can clearly see that there is a beautiful wedding cake being cut and served to certain guests. A kitchen cake is a round, layered cake - just like the tiers of your wedding cake, except it is iced smooth and left undecorated. It is kept in the venue's kitchen until the main cake is cut and served.

Groom's Cakes

The groom’s cake is a great way to add some humor or interest to the reception. (Another alternative is to serve the groom's cake as the main dessert at the rehearsal dinner.) If you are interested in a groom’s cake, please email us at customcakesbyadele@gmail.com . Check out our "Custom Celebration Cakes"gallery for lots of great groom's cake ideas!

We do not work with fresh flowers, and here's why:

“Fresh flowers from a florist are not an approved food or food additive and would be a violation if your business placed them on cakes.” This statement is taken from an email we received from the Chief of the Food Safety Division (PA Dept. of Agriculture), regarding the safety of fresh flowers on cakes. Although it is common practice with wedding cakes, we do not use fresh flowers on our cakes for the following reasons:

Many common wedding flowers are considered toxic: Hydrangeas, baby's breath, calla lilies, eucalyptus, anemones, mums, alstroemeria, lily of the valley are a few examples. Additionally, most wedding flowers come from countries that do not regulate the use of pesticides/fungicides, and they contain an obscene amount of chemical residue.

Anyone with a compromised immune system can become ill from eating cake that contains chemical residue, pollen, mold spores, and/or bacteria transferred from fresh flowers. Reactions vary, but typically the symptoms are the same as food poisoning. People with the following health conditions are of serious concern: undergoing/recovering from chemotherapy or radiation treatment; leukemia and other blood cancers; preparing for/recovering from a bone marrow or organ transplant; recovering from a major illness; severe asthma and/or allergies; lupus; or any of the 100+ immunodeficiency disorders that exist.

We are aware that many bakeries, florists, and wedding planners put fresh flowers on cakes without concern. However, we feel strongly that if it's a food safety violation and there is any risk of someone becoming ill from it, it simply shouldn't be done.

Our Process -

Cake Tastings & Consultations

Cake Tastings are provided via tasting boxes, which are scheduled to be picked up by the couple. (We do not host in-studio tastings.)
Design Consultations are conducted via phone appointments. A phone appointment is scheduled with Adele upon request of the couple after they've enjoyed their tasting.
Submit the form below to request your tasting box and get the process started!

To qualify for a tasting, the couple must meet the following criteria:

1. The wedding date must be finalized, and the venue booked.

2. You must be shopping for a FULL order - one of the following options:

a full-sized wedding cake (75-serving minimum).
cupcakes (minimum quantity of 100) with a 2-tiered cutting cake.
a wedding cake (65-serving minimum for custom-designed; 75-serving minimum for pre-designed) with additional kitchen cake(s) providing a minimum of (30) servings.

TASTING BOXES: Our tasting boxes are $45 and must be paid for in advance. An invoice will be emailed to you; and that can be paid online with any debit/credit card. The cost will be credited back to you if you book us for a FULL order. If you wish to purchase more than one tasting box, you may do so, however, the cost of only ONE box will be credited toward your full order.

Tastings for smaller orders: If you are shopping for a small wedding cake (60 servings or less), a tasting box can still be purchased; however, the cost is not credited toward your order.

*** If you are booked with Woodstone Country Club , a tasting box is free. If you would like additional boxes, they must be purchased.

Our tasting boxes include the following:

Your choice of (4) cake flavors ( see our menu ) *Please choose your flavors from the CAKE menu ( not the cupcake menu).
Your choice of (3) filling flavors ( see our menu ).
A sample of our vanilla bean buttercream.
Enough samples for two (2) persons.
Disposable plates, napkins, and utensils for two.
A written guide to walk you through your tasting, along with considerations for cake design, cake photos, and instructions on how to set up your phone consultation.

After you pick up your tasting box:

1. Enjoy your samples at home at your convenience.

2. After tasting, if you wish to move forward and discuss cake design, email me to schedule your phone consultation. (Include any inspiration photos of cakes, colors, flowers, etc.) I'll reply with a date/time for our phone appointment. (Please allow a few days for this.)

3. During our phone consultation, we'll discuss the details of your cake and come up with a design that you love; and, afterward I will email you a detailed design summary with pricing for your review.

4. If you approve the design summary and wish to book with us, I will email you a contract for the order. A signed contract and non-refundable deposit of half the total cost is required to book your date. The remaining half is due three weeks prior to your wedding date.

*It's important to note. . . that purchasing a tasting box does NOT guarantee that your date will remain available and we'll be able to make your cake. We are booking weddings continually throughout the year, and there is a possibility of your date booking up during the time between your tasting and your decision to book us.
