Clu Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 So, looking at a 4 tier cake (unicorn theme)... Of the subject matter experts here, how much should I expect to pay? $100? @discolemonade I am thinking this is up your alley.
fuggnificent Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I paid out the ass for a custom made mlp cake and then it was pretty much inedible
MEXobiologist Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 i dunno man, depends on how good you want it to be... you might be able to get one for $100 but i doubt it, not for that many tiers PLUS having it be all decorated. i bought a 3 tier superhero cake for my ex brother in laws 40th, ran me $250. found some places that did it for less but they were not going to be as fancy decorated and it was just with the vanilla cake inside. thats sort of the other factor. depends on the actual cake you want inside. i would just call around for quotes.
Clu Posted March 27, 2018 Author Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah the shit I am seeing is like $4.50 - $6 per serving.

Yeah and I don't want one of those fondant bullshit cakes either.... *sigh* I can't even eat this shit!
Vamped Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Definitely more than a 100. I paid $160 for a custom cake. It was for like 15 people though and came with a "free" smash cake.

Still Me Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 WAT?! oh cake... ok so what you'll be paying more for is the art...not the cake... that being said...a four tier cake? How many people are you fucking feeding? Let’s see....if you go with a 12’ round as your base you’re looking at....130-150 people 1
Still Me Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I think if you walk away paying only $100 for a cake it’s a fucking steal...you will be paying more 1
Clu Posted March 27, 2018 Author Posted March 27, 2018 Ok, its for a bday party, and there will be a shitload of people there. Fuck shits expensive.

Yeah dude...I’m telling you it’s better to just buy sheet cakes from a big box store...I mean a full sheet cake is 117 servings...get 2 of them puppies and you should be golden...they are probably like $40-50 a piece 1

Yeah...but finding unicorn crap is probably hard....not to mention, color for frosting or if he wanted to try airbrushing...he’s gonna end up spending quite a bit....and I’m assuming he has no piping skills either....so I really wonder how well it will come out....survey says...like crap

(j/k j/k)
GunStarHero Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 The fancier cakes we order at work that are vaguely similar to what you're looking at cost around $200, depending on the decorations and toppings.
