Cost of a homemade cake

Let's calculate for a 1.5 kg cake with fondant and sugar paste decorations:

• Sponge cake ingredients (flour, eggs, butter, sugar): ~30-40 lei
• Whipped cream or buttercream for filling: ~20-30 lei
• Fondant 500g: ~25-35 lei
• Gel food colorings: ~15-25 lei
• Sprinkles and decorations: ~20-40 lei
• Ready-made figurines or modeling sugar paste: ~30-60 lei

Total ingredients: ~140-230 lei compared to 250-450 lei at the confectionery.

When is it worth making the cake at home?

• When you enjoy the process and do it with pleasure
• When you have several events a year — you save significantly
• When you want a customization that the confectionery cannot offer

Conclusion

From a purely financial perspective, a homemade cake is 30-50% cheaper. But the real value is personal satisfaction and the joy of your loved ones when they see that you put your heart into that cake.
