How many hours work go into the typical cake?
Cakes are more than flour, sugar and eggs. Time is primarily what you are paying for with a custom designed cake. A “simple”, no frills birthday cake for 30 usually gets about 12 hours from start of baking to the washing of the last dish minimum. Wedding cakes typically get at least 40 hours of work independent from the cost of ingredeints. This of course does not include the design time that goes into making a custom cake truly custom.
