The average wedding cake in Australia now costs about $645, according to the 2026 national wedding cost survey reported by the Sydney Morning Herald. Below are the prices Australian cake designers publish, by tier and by serve, plus what pushes the price up and where you can save.
You can also enquire with cake makers directly on Wedded Wonderland, where each profile lists a starting price.
Sydney cake designer Baked Collective says most couples spend between $400 and $900. Perth's Cakey Cakes puts a cake for 100 guests between $380 and $1,000, and says its standard wedding cake commissions range from $550 to $2,390 depending on guest count and complexity.
At the custom end, Melbourne's Cake Me Crazy says its smaller designs begin from around $700, and most of its couples land between $1,000 and $3,000.

Baked Collective puts the range at between $7 and $16 per serve from a professional cake designer, and calls size and the number of serves the biggest factor in the price. Hunter Valley's Butter Bakery sets a minimum of $8 per serving and says experienced designers charge $10 to $20.
A dessert portion is a 1x2 inch slice and a coffee portion is a 1x1 inch slice, so the same cake serves roughly twice as many guests in coffee portions. Cake Me Crazy notes that if every guest receives a plated dessert portion, the cake needs to be significantly larger.

Butter Bakery describes the price as a simple cake with design features such as fresh or sugar flowers, gold leaf and fondant details added on top. Cakey Cakes lists flowers at $130 to $220 and setup and delivery at $75 to $120. Baked Collective's minimum delivery fee is $50, and the cost increases with distance.

Spodeli also makes cakes that do not stack in tiers. It prices a giant tiramisu for 60 to 100 guests at around $700 to $1,000, and a long tablescape cake for 50 to 120 guests at around $700 to $1,700. For more ideas, see our guide to 25 wedding cake styles and how to choose one.
