Cathlene's Cakes Pricing & Costs

Pricing for suppliers

Prices Start at
£350
On my website I list the starting prices for a number of popular wedding cake sizes. But what do you get for that price? PLEASE NOTE: This post is only about how I price my cakes. Other cake makers may price their cakes differently. My starting prices will get you four layers of sponge and three layers of Swiss meringue buttercream in each tier, then the whole cake finished in either ivory buttercream or white or ivory fondant icing. The buttercream finish can be smooth, with a rustic stripe texture, or semi-naked. I always include a time element to add fresh flowers but not the flowers themselves (I recommend that you order the flowers from your wedding florist).

Cathlene's Cakes Full Description
Each wedding cake is designed especially for each couple. If you fall in love with an existing design, we will work together to give it little something different, to make it unique for you. All cakes are baked fresh for each order using the best ingredients to give you a light and moist cake. The cakes are layered with velvety smooth Swiss meringue buttercream and any relevant curds, conserves, caramel etc. before being coated either with decadent chocolate ganache and finished with a thin layer of fondant for a flawless finish, OR a luscious layer of Swiss meringue buttercream for a full buttercream cake. The ever popular semi-naked cake is also available. Each cake is decorated with care and attention to detail and each sugar flower is individually handcrafted. We specialise in gluten-free cakes but can also cater for nut and dairy free.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Cathlene
I am not a sales person. I make cakes. I love to talk about, design, bake and decorate cakes. What I don't love is being 'salesy'. So, I don't tend to do that. I'll talk with you about your wedding and designing your dream cake. I won't ‘sell’ to you. I want you to book me because you love what I do and what I'm about, not because I’m the cheapest or running a special offer. I want you to book me because you trust in me and my ability to create probably the most important cake you'll ever order

The cake was beautiful & tasted just as good.

Thank you Cathlene for making our amazing wedding cake & favours ☺️ It’s a good job we saved the top tier for ourselves because the rest of our cake vanished before we got chance to have any - clearly our guests loved it! The cake was beautiful & tasted just as good. You were so helpful throughout the whole process, even when we had to postpone our day. It was better than we could have imagined, thank you!

The cake was perfect and better than we imagined.

We could not thank Cathlene enough. We changed our minds on the style of the cake and this was arranged with no issues. The cake was perfect and better than we imagined. It tasted amazing, and all guest were able to eat it (had gluten free guests attending) no-one knew the difference. Cathlene was very friendly and professional from start to finish. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Cathlene xx

So welcoming

Fell in love with Cathlene. She was so welcoming and felt really at ease planning our cake. Seeing the cake for the first time at our venue we both fell on love with it. It was amazing. Would definitely recommend

Excellent creative advice.

Cathlene was brilliant throughout. Quick to reply to queries, offered excellent creative advice on what would look best (as we didn't really know!) and bakes a delicious gluten free cake😋 we hardly had any left over to take home. I really appreciated that she had printed an ingredients list which we displayed alongside the cake after it was cut so guests could check their allergens. Super stress free and the marbling effect and sugar flowers both incredible and commented on by guests. Thank you

So many compliments

Our wedding cake was truly amazing. Cathlene was great to correspond with and set it up on the day so efficiently. She liaised with our florist and the finished cake was brilliant! So many compliments and the fact it was gluten free was an added bonus. Couldn’t have been happier and such a shame we never met you in person!

All I can say is wow!

All I can say is wow! I was blown away at how perfect our cake was and how amazing it looked. Cathlene really listens to what you want and the attention to detail that she puts into her cakes, was clear to see when I saw ours. It was so beautiful and tasted incredible! The guests commented on how great it tasted and I had about 7 portions myself 😂 I absolutely loved it. Communication was great and I felt that she couldn’t have done a better job.

Blew our guests away

We hired Cathlene for our wedding cake in October 22. We couldn't recommend her more highly. She was incredibly helpful in assisting us with the design of our cake and it really blew our guests away. Best of all, the cake was fantastically made and was super delicious. We would definitely hire Cathlene again for a special cake in future.

Nothing I could fault

There is nothing I could fault with Cathlene right from 1st contact! She listened to everything we wanted and made it come true! Having a Gluten free baker is different than having a baker that does gluten free! You can definitely tell the difference and my worry of my 10yr old little girl feeling excluded with a cupcake again was washed away as soon as we tried Cathlene's cakes! Thank you so much. It was stunning.

We used Cathlene for our wedding cake and we were extremely happy with the finished product 😀 from start to finish when dealing with Cathlene, she was so lovely and very professional. The cake was so beautiful and tasty, we will definitely use her in the future for another occasion. We can't recommend her enough.

Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.

Like many cake businesses, I started selling cupcakes at local events, part time around being a mum. Some friends asked if I could make their wedding cake, which went down a storm, and that was when I realised that I wanted to make wedding cakes for the rest of my life.
