Realistic Budgets: For the Princess in your Life

Here is another installment of our realistic budgets! Princess cakes are a popular theme here at The Cake Boutique, whether it be for a young girl, a sweet 16, or any princess in your life! Here are just 4 examples that feed between 25-35 servings each. Take you best stab at pricing out these cakes- the answers will be found at the bottom of this blog. 

This cute princess cake is all fondant with a hand crafted,
hand painted crown. Can you guess what this 10" cake costs??

This 35 serving cake is complete with 4 towers and hand
 made rocks. How much do you think this cake would cost??

This beautiful tiara topper is hand created and the base
tier is in a quilted pattern. How much would this 25 serving cake cost??

This buttercream base cake is complete with a beautiful princess
carriage! This 10" cake serves 25 people- what do you think the price is?!

Cake #1: The hand crafted crown takes multiple days to create and then a few coats to hand paint. The cost of this 10" cake would be about $130.00- $150.00

Cake #2: The castle cake isn't the most detailed cake, however, the rocks are very time consuming and the support system for this cake is more detailed due to the towers. A cake similar to this would cost about $230.00-$250.00

Cake #3: This swirly tiara takes less time overall to create than the crown, however, is much more difficult. The quilting is also a more difficult technique than placing dragees on fondant as in the first photo. This cake would run about $210-$225.

Cake #4: This cake is the only buttercream base cake, however, the most detailed and time consuming topper. The wheels alone on the carriage take multiple days to dry and the carriage itself goes through a long process: making rice krispies, molding rice krispies, covering the carriage with modeling chocolate, covering with fondant, creating the details, attaching the wheels(previously made) and assembling the carriage on the cake. This cake would range about $150-$175.
