the cake investment guide
investment + pricing philosophy
At Connor’s Craft Cakes, every wedding cake is a bespoke, hand-sculpted piece of fine art tailored entirely to the atmosphere, textiles, and design language of your wedding day. To honor the artistic process, custom sculptures are not priced solely by standard tier sizes. The CCC studio maintains a $1,500 minimum investment for all cake commissions (before delivery).
Please use the below visual portfolio menu to identify the design complexity and pricing level that best aligns with the aesthetic goals for your wedding centerpiece. These are examples only—your sculpture will be personalized to you and your event.
