Most Surrey wedding cakes are made by one person in a small studio or home kitchen, and the best known get booked a year ahead for summer Saturdays. Prices vary more than you might expect: on the makers' own price lists, a three-tier cake for around 70 guests costs anything from about £415 to £800, depending on the style, how much hand-made decoration it has, and who makes it.
Below are seven makers in different parts of the county, each with a live website, recent work and, for six of them, published prices. We read every detail on the makers' own websites on 2 November 2026. Most don't say whether their prices include VAT, and delivery and cake stands are often extra, so ask for a full quote. The photo shows the lawn at Farnham Castle, one of the county's wedding venues; for more on venues, see our guide to wedding venue prices in Surrey.

A naked or semi-naked cake shows some of the sponge through a thin scrape of buttercream; fondant is the smooth sugar icing rolled over the top; sugar flowers are made by hand from sugar paste and take hours each, which is why they add to the price.

Before you book
Book early: several makers take a £100 deposit to hold a date, and summer dates can fill months ahead. Ask what's included, since delivery, setting up and cake stands are often extra and a cake knife may not be included, and delivery charges differ a lot, from free locally to £1 a mile. If anyone has a serious allergy, ask directly: several kitchens here say they can't guarantee no traces of nuts or gluten. For the rest of the day, see our guides to wedding caterers, wedding florists and wedding sweets and dessert tables.
