View Cake PricesFrequently Asked Questions
- Why do two cakes of the same weight cost different amounts?
- Weight covers the sponge and filling; the rest is decoration and flavour. A 2 lb buttercream cake and a 2 lb sculpted fondant cake use similar ingredients but very different amounts of skilled time, which is what the price difference reflects.
- What makes a cake in Lahore suspiciously cheap?
- Vegetable-fat topping instead of dairy cream, fewer sponge layers with little filling, and cakes sold from a display fridge rather than baked to order. The price is real; what you are giving up is the part you taste.
- Do premium flavours cost more?
- Yes. Lotus Biscoff, Nutella, Red Velvet and Pure Fudge Chocolate add Rs 400 per pound. Kit Kat, Cadbury, Bounty, Fruits and Pineapple Crunch add Rs 300 per pound. The surcharge is per pound, so it scales with the cake.
