Celebration Cakes & 3d Sculpted Cakes
To bring your dream cake to life, we require a minimum investment of $150 for celebration cakes and $250 for hand-sculpted 3D cakes. For orders under $400 or certain design types, custom sketch designs may not be provided. Pick-ups are usually necessary for smaller custom cakes, especially on weekends and during peak seasons, while a delivery minimum and fee may be applicable.
Our minimums include the ingredient cost, staffing expenses, and cake equipment like dowels and separator plates. this also accounts for the extensive planning involved in coordination, design research, ingredient sourcing, and handmade accents.
For celebration cakes, additional charges may apply for specialty options such as Gluten Free, Fondant exterior, and flavors not listed on the current menu. Fees may vary based on design complexity and execution difficulty.
Similarly, for 3D sculpted cakes, Gluten Free options are available with increased pricing. Custom structural supports and execution complexity may incur additional charges.
As for hand-sculpted cake toppers, pricing varies based on factors like detail level, material, and size.
For specific 3D sculpted cake designs:
- 3D sculpted car cakes start at $900.
- 3D sculpted yeti cooler cakes start at $1000.
- 3D sculpted animal cakes (dogs, birds, armadillos, etc.) start at $750
Wedding Cake Pricing
Chrislynn's Confections sets minimum requirements for all wedding cake deliveries, which may vary based on the event date and distance from Savannah, GA. These new minimums are strictly enforced due to the high volume of inquiries and current ingredient costs. However, exceptions are made for all pick-up wedding orders.
Delivery rates are as follows:
- Tuesday-Friday Deliveries: Starting at $500 plus the delivery fee.
- Saturday/Sunday Deliveries: Starting at $750 plus the delivery fee.
- Exceptions can be made for off-season weddings.
Our minimums encompass ingredient and staffing costs, as well as equipment expenses for dowels, separator plates, and cake boards. They also consider months of communication, design research, ingredient sourcing, and coordination with planners, venues, and vendors to ensure smooth day-of logistics and safe delivery.
Additional charges may apply for Gluten-Free, fondant exterior, and flavors not listed on our current menu. There's also an increased minimum requirement for deliveries beyond the greater Savannah area. Moreover, fees for design complexity, toppers, sculpted sugar flowers, special packaging, etc., may be applicable.
A reduced price per serving is offered on wedding kitchen cakes and pick up orders. Learn more about the increased price for delivered wedding cakes on our FAQ page
We strongly suggest narrowing your final cake flavors down to 2 flavor options for guests. Any more than two flavors in a cake can make it difficult and confusing for the catering company when it comes time to plate and serve dessert to attendees. Chrislynn's Confections reserves the right to charge an extra flavor fee, at our discretion.
Comparing Different Designs
Here's an example I've created to illustrate how various styles of the same cake can influence the cost, a principle that applies to nearly any cake style and can be invaluable when determining pricing. Different techniques we employ can significantly impact the cost of your cake, but don't worry! I'm here to help you every step of the way! Simple piping designs such as classic borders or charming rosettes are not only quicker to execute, but also require less expertise, making them more budget-friendly options. However, if you have your heart set on something more intricate, like delicate bas-relief or detailed floral patterns, more time and skill may be required, thus affecting the cost accordingly. Let's work together to discover the ideal design that complements both your style and budget seamlessly!
