Couture Cakes 

Pricing and designs on our Custom Couture Cake

Our couture cakes are designed and handcrafted according to the theme of your special events. Each couture cake is quoted base on its size and complexity of the design, regardless of weight. 

Our minimum order for a wedding cake is 2-tier, while you can choose our existing designs from our cake galleries, you may also use them as inspirations in creating your unique couture cake. You are welcome to show us any designs or ideas you have in mind. Photographs, magazines clippings, stationery, etc can all help when it comes to designing the cake. With regards to wedding cakes, it's certainly a good idea to share with us you wedding decoration rendering, floral and color theme, so that we can incorporate these elements into your wedding cake. All couture cakes are handcrafted and may be subjected to minor deviations from the design sketch and/ or design or description. 

 

Once the design is set, reasonable changes to your order may be made; additional charges may be incurred depending on the nature of the changes. However, no changes can be made 1 month prior to the event date.
