Hi Moms!

I am trying to find someone who can make custom cakes, reasonably priced one. I am looking for someone to make a cake with a gingerbread house (for 25 people) on top in September for my daughter's birthday. I have gotten 2 quotes from 2 bakeries in Dallas but they are WAY over my budget. Does anyone know who could do a cake like what I am looking for? Also, what do you think is an average price for a custom cake? I had one quote for $70 and I thought it was too high, but am I clueless when it comes to cake as to what they cost. Any thoughts are welcome.

What can I do next?

In all honesty when you are talking custom cakes you are looking to spend significantly more than a cake you have made at a grocery store baker. $70 does not sound that bad to me actually. It takes a lot of time and effort for a cake like that. The only place I can recommend is maybe Stein's Bakery at Preston and 635. I'm not sure who you have tried but they are really good. They don't have licensing for characters so they can't do trademarked or registered character cakes but they do custom cakes and cookies.

Try Goodnight Bakery###-###-#### or ____@____.com). My aunt owns and operates it...she offers great custom cakes at a great price. From my experience, most custom cakes will start in the 100s, so $70 is reasonable depending on what you are wanting.

My husband has been in the Bakery business for over 40 years and I can tell you that for what you are wanting it will probably be $70-$100. You might try Steins or Astons. If you are in the Denton area Candy Haven might work. There is also someone on Facebook called Eat My Cake.

There is a mom on this site that does custom cakes. She was asking about key word search terms the other day. . . . Scribble Cakes is her screen name on Mamapedia. She is in McKinney it looks like. You should DM her and see if she can do what you need:)
