What Does a Wedding Cake Cost? Petal & Peach Featured on Polka Dot Bride
Planning Your Dream Wedding Cake? Here's What You Need to Know About Budgets
If you’re planning a wedding in Brisbane or the Gold Coast and wondering what a beautiful wedding cake will cost, I’ve got some sweet news. I was recently invited by Polka Dot Bride — one of Australia’s most trusted wedding blogs — to share my insights on how wedding cake pricing works, and the article is now live!
At Petal & Peach Bakery, I know that no two weddings are the same, which means no two cakes are either. Your wedding cake is more than just dessert — it’s a centrepiece, a photo moment, and a flavour memory you’ll treasure. In the Polka Dot Bride piece, I chatted about what goes into pricing a custom cake, what kind of portions you’ll need based on your guest list, and how florals and finishes can affect the final cost.
If you're newly engaged and beginning your wedding planning journey in Brisbane, Redlands, or down on the Gold Coast, this article is a great place to start.
What Influences the Cost of a Wedding Cake?
In the article, I cover important budget factors like:
Number of tiers and portion size (coffee vs dessert portions)
The difference between buttercream and fondant finishes
Fresh flowers vs handmade wafer or sugar florals
Delivery fees for venues across South East Queensland
Wedding Cakes That Taste as Good as They Look
At Petal & Peach, I specialise in buttercream wedding cakes with a modern, romantic feel — always finished with small details and packed with delicious flavour. My couples often choose from flavours like Amalfi Lemon, Milk chocolate + Cherry, or Malted Vanilla & Biscoff.
If you're planning a wedding in Brisbane, the Redlands, or Gold Coast, I’d love to chat about how we can create a wedding cake that feels like you — and fits beautifully into your overall wedding vision and budget.
