This custom wedding cake is finished in smooth fondant and priced per slice, starting at $12 per slice before tax. The bakery is based in San Luis Obispo and designs each cake around your colors, fabrics, inspiration photos and floral decor, so the finished tiers match the look of your reception rather than a stock catalog design.
Fondant gives a clean, sculpted surface that holds sharp edges, crisp patterns and shaped details well. It suits hosts who want a structured, formal look, a cake that echoes the texture of a dress or invitation, or a design with clean geometric lines. The cake designer behind the bakery has about 20 years of experience making cakes for weddings, birthdays and showers.

Flavors can be mixed between tiers, so a three-tier cake can offer guests a different choice on each level.

Share dietary needs early so the design, flavors and structure can be planned around them before your tasting appointment.
What the Vendor Lists as Included

- Private tasting to choose flavors and fillings
- Delivery to your venue
- Setup of the cake on site

The bakery also makes cupcakes, cookies, pastries, fruit desserts, dessert buffets, groom's cakes and bridal shower cakes, so you can round out a dessert table with pieces that match the main cake. Cake stands are listed among its services as well. Ask about these extras when you request a quote so everything arrives together on the day.
Planning Your Fondant Cake
Start cake planning a few months before the wedding so there is time for a tasting, a design sketch and any adjustments. Bring fabric swatches, invitation samples or photos of your flowers to the tasting. These details help translate your style into tier shapes, textures and accents that work in fondant and stay stable through delivery and display.
Think about where the cake will sit and how long it will be on display. A table near a window or outdoor setting can affect any cake, so share the venue layout and timing. Hosts serving a large guest list sometimes pair a decorated display cake with extra servings or cupcakes, which keeps the look while serving everyone.
Questions to Ask at Your Tasting
- How many slices fit the guest count you expect?
- Which flavors pair well across different tiers?
- Which design details affect the per-slice price?
- What time will delivery and setup happen?
- Can cupcakes or a dessert table match the cake?
A tasting is also a good time to talk about cutting and serving. Ask how the cake will be presented, whether the top tier is set aside for you, and how slices are portioned for guests. Clear answers help your venue or caterer plan service, and they make sure the slice count in your quote matches the way the cake will actually be served.
How Per-Slice Pricing Works
Your total is based on the number of slices you need, which usually follows your guest count. At $12 per slice before tax, a cake for 100 guests would start around $1,200 before tax, and the bakery lists an overall starting order of $250. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details.
Final pricing depends on the size of the cake, the complexity of the sculpted details and any added desserts. Hosts who prefer a softer finish at a lower starting price can also ask about the bakery's buttercream cakes. The bakery is five-star rated and highly reviewed for appearance, flavor, patient communication and a stress-free tasting process.
Start Your Cake Design
To begin, send your wedding date, venue, estimated guest count and a few inspiration photos or color swatches. The bakery typically responds within 24 hours and can then schedule a private tasting and outline a design. Check available 2026 dates early, since custom fondant work takes planning time before your celebration.
