How much does a custom cake cost in Asansol?

In Asansol a custom cake starts at ₹180 for a 4-inch bento, ₹250 for a half pound, ₹400 for a 1 pound (serves 4–6) and ₹750 for 2 pound and above. Design detail, fresh flowers, photo toppers and tiers add to that; being eggless never costs extra at Sweet Bloom Bakery.

For 10 people order a 2 pound cake (about 1 kg, 8 inches), which cuts into roughly 12 generous slices. A 1 pound cake serves 4–6, so it will stretch to 10 only as small tasting slices. If dessert follows a full meal, a 1.5 pound cake is usually enough.

How far in advance should I order a cake?

Order most custom cakes 24–48 hours ahead, and tiered, wedding or milestone cakes 4–7 days ahead. The absolute minimum is 24 hours, because everything is baked fresh to order. Weekends, festivals and Valentine's week fill up early, so a week's notice is safest then.
