Company Logo Cake: Getting the Brand Right
Short answer
Logos are reproduced two ways: edible printing, which is cheaper, faster and far more accurate for detailed marks; or hand-piped fondant, which looks more premium but simplifies fine detail. Send a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background. Logo cakes start around Rs 4,000 for a 2 lb printed design and Rs 7,500 for hand-finished fondant.
Logo cakes go wrong in a predictable way: someone sends a screenshot of the logo from a website, and the print comes out soft and off-colour. The file matters more than the cake.

Send the right file
- A high-resolution PNG with a transparent background — ideal
- An SVG or AI file if you have one, which scales perfectly
- Never a screenshot from a website or a social media profile picture
- Include the brand colour codes if exact matching matters
- Say which version — full logo, wordmark or icon — should appear
When to use which
For a detailed logo with gradients, small text or multiple colours, print. For a bold, simple mark on a cake that needs to look expensive — a client-facing event, a milestone — hand-piped fondant justifies itself. For anything where the logo must be recognisably exact, print wins every time.
