When it comes to ordering a customised cake, you want to make sure that the price you’re paying reflects the quality and craftsmanship that goes into it. Whether it’s for a birthday, wedding, or any special celebration, you want a cake that not only tastes great but looks stunning too. But how much should you expect to pay for a customised cake in Singapore? And what factors influence the pricing?
At Bob the Baker Boy, we’ve been baking happiness into every cake for years, and we believe in being transparent with our pricing. In this guide, we’ll break down the costs of customised cakes in Singapore so you know exactly what you’re paying for when you place your order.
When you order a customised cake, the price is determined by several factors. These include the size of the cake, the complexity of the design, the ingredients used, and the level of detail in the decoration. Whether you’re getting a simple cake for a small gathering or a grand cake for a large event, understanding the pricing structure will help you make an informed decision.
At Bob the Baker Boy, we strive to provide fair and transparent pricing for every cake we create. Our cakes are known for their lower sugar content, with some flavours containing 12g or less per serving, making them a healthier choice for everyone, including kids and those with dietary restrictions. Here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect at different price points:
If you’re looking for a simple yet beautiful customised cake, this price range is perfect for you. At $100-$150, you can expect a single-tier cake with some custom elements, such as personalised icing, basic decorations, and a simple design. This price range is perfect for smaller gatherings or when you’re looking for a cake with a personal touch but don’t require elaborate detailing.
Size: Typically serves around 6-8 people.
Decoration: Basic buttercream or cream cheese frosting with a simple design.
Flavour: Classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry.
Personalisation: Name or message written on the cake.
Design: Custom colour themes or small decorations like edible flowers, a cake adorned with simple edible prints, with candies, sprinkles, or themed toppers (e.g., candles, toy figurines).
At Bob the Baker Boy, this price point will also allow you to enjoy with our signature lower-sugar recipes, making it a delicious and healthier option. If you have a budget under $150, a customised option is still very much possible. We will help you to be a little bit more creative on the design, so we still get the job done within your budget.
If you’re willing to increase your budget a bit for a more detailed design, the $150-$200 range will offer you a cake that’s more elaborate in decoration. This price point is ideal for birthdays, baby showers, and family celebrations. The design may involve more intricate elements such as fondant decorations, themed designs, or multiple colours.
Size: Serves around 8-12 people.
Decoration: Buttercream with some fondant elements or more intricate piping work.
Flavour: Popular choices like Belgian Chocolate, Strawberries Shortcake, or Hazelnut Chocolate Cake.
Personalisation: Customised messages or more detailed themes based on your preferences.
Design: A cake filled with decorations and themed elements (e.g., popular cartoon characters, your child’s favourite animals, sports teams, or personalised toppers).
At Bob the Baker Boy, we pride ourselves on making sure every cake is not only delicious but beautifully presented. With a cake in this range, we’ll work closely with you to fine-tune the details, ensuring it’s perfect for your occasion. You’re paying for that added detail and the expertise of our cake design specialists. In fact, did you know that most of our cake designs in our website are designed to fit an under $200 budget? This is the sweet spot for most people, and you don’t have to worry about coming up with your own design, because we have over 500 designs from over 50 themes for you to choose from, we’re so sure you can find something you’ll love.
For a truly spectacular cake, the $200-$300 range is where you’ll find customised cakes with much more detail, creativity, and there’s more that we can do to make it visually stunning. This price range is typically for larger cakes or more intricate designs, such as weddings, corporate events, or large birthday parties. These cakes often include complex fondant work, flowers, or custom moulded decorations that require a higher level of skill and precision.
Size: Serves 12+ people, and often comes with multiple tiers (2 or 3-tier cakes).
Decoration: Extensive use of fondant, 3D decorations, sugar flowers, or intricate hand-piping work.
Flavour: Any!
Personalisation: Highly detailed customisation, including logos, intricate cake toppers, and personalised features.
Design: Complex themed designs based on your event or preferences. This could include detailed characters, custom-built structures, or multi-colour schemes.
At Bob the Baker Boy, a cake in this range is an absolute showstopper. If you want a cake that stands out and becomes a conversation piece at your event, this is the perfect price range. You’re not just paying for a cake – you’re paying for the artistry, the detail, and the experience that goes into creating something truly unique.
One of the biggest factors influencing the price of a customised cake is the decoration. Fondant, edible decorations, and intricate designs can significantly impact the cost.
Fondant Work: Fondant is a smooth icing that’s often used for more structured or sculptural decorations. It takes time and skill to shape fondant into the characters that you want on your cake. This can increase the cost depending on the complexity.
Edible Decorations: Whether it’s hand-piped flowers, fondant figures, or sugar-crafted pieces, custom edible decorations add to the final price. The more intricate the design, the higher the price.
Time and Skill: Highly detailed cakes take more time to make. A cake that requires custom artwork, such as personalised logos or sculpted figures, will take longer to craft, and you’re paying for the highest skilled cake designers who bring your vision to life.
