INVESTMENT, design & delivery
Choosing your wedding cake should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
I create bespoke wedding cakes for a wide range of celebrations, from intimate weddings to larger statement designs. If you love my style, I’m always happy to chat through ideas and help you explore options that feel right for your day and your budget.
A luxury wedding cake is so much more than flour, sugar, and icing. It’s a carefully designed, handcrafted centrepiece that takes time, skill, and attention to detail, all delivered with a calm, stress-free experience from first enquiry to wedding day.
Wedding cakes typically start from £350, with most couples investing between £600–£900, depending on design, size, and level of detail.
It's more than just cake, it’s part of creating a lasting memory.

How much does a bespoke wedding cake cost
Every wedding cake by Fay’s Cakes is completely bespoke, so there isn’t a single fixed price.
The final cost of your cake will depend on:
Design complexity and decorative detail
Number of tiers, overall size, and portion requirements
Ingredients used and time required from design through to delivery
To help with planning, I provide an average spend guide below, covering a range of designs from simple and elegant to more detailed statement cakes.

Setting Your Wedding Cake Budget
If you have a rough budget in mind, that’s always helpful, but if not, please don’t worry. Many couples enquire before they’ve decided on exact numbers.
Sharing an approximate budget allows me to guide you towards design ideas that suit your priorities while staying as close to your budget as possible. Whether you’re dreaming of something timeless and understated or a more detailed centrepiece, we’ll work together to create a cake you’ll love.
Cake Design, Tiers & Portion Sizes
The overall design and proportions of your cake are often more important than the number of tiers. Some designs look best as taller, slimmer cakes. while adding a discreet kitchen cutting cake is a great way to increase portions without affecting the look of your design.
Standard tiers
Just over 5 inches tall
4 layers of sponge with 3 layers of filling
Taller tiers
Created with extra sponge or dummy layers
Add height and visual impact without increasing portion count
Dummy tiers
Lightweight and decorated to match the cake
Ideal for dramatic designs or reducing overall cake weight
Savings are minimal, as most of the cost is in the decoration.
Size Chart & Portion Guide
You’ll receive a detailed portion guide by email, which we’ll also discuss during your design consultation.
Portions are based on 1” x 4” wedding slices
Halved slices provide double portions
Final numbers may vary slightly depending on tier height and venue cutting style
At Scottish weddings, cake is often served with the evening buffet, so I usually recommend catering for around 80% of your guest count.
In the week leading up to your wedding, your venue will receive:
A portion-cutting guide
Full ingredient and allergen information
A copy of my public liability insurance

Styling & Setup
Your cake display should feel just as thoughtfully styled as the rest of your celebration. From elegant linens and soft candlelight to floral details and personal touches, every element works together to enhance the overall look.
I’m happy to collaborate with your florist or décor team to create a picture-perfect setting that complements your cake design and venue beautifully.
sweet words
I may be biased but I’m convinced this was the most beautiful cake you’ve ever made! I was staring at it all day. I could not wrap my head around the fact those were sugar flowers and not real flowers… this cake was absolutely gorgeous from top to bottom!!! Thank you so much for bringing this cake to life!
