How much do customised cakes usually cost? My friend was quoted $500 for a Mickey Mouse 2-tier red velvet cake with fondant décor. Is that exp?

To be honest, $500.00 for a fondant cake is the range for 2-tier cake. It depends on the complexity of the design that you want on a cake. There is a 2-tier cake that cost $1k due to the complexity of the design and it’s all premium and organic ingredients used. Hope this helps. :))
