What is the price of wedding cakes?

We understand that making cupcakes for a wedding takes a lot of time and not everyone has that time to spend making and baking these sweet treats for guests. For that reason, they are in high demand.

Let’s see the price range of wedding cakes.

The price per piece is approximately between 3 – 6 crowns.

A kilo will cost you 200 – 400 crowns.

Of course, it can be more, depending on the quality of the ingredients, the difficulty of baking (leavened/unleavened; filled/unfilled, etc.)

In any case, if you don’t want your whole family to bake, because it’s not a simple or time-consuming procedure, it’s always better to order wedding cakes.
