Southern Luxury Cakes

Camille has baked professionally for five years and runs Southern Luxury Cakes out of Greenville, taking wedding orders by appointment rather than from a retail storefront.

The bakery publishes a full tier-by-tier price list. A two-tier buttercream cake for 25 to 65 guests starts at $300, a three-tier for 60 to 90 guests starts at $535, and a three-tier for 95 to 125 guests starts at $660, all plus tax and delivery. Larger designs run higher: a four-tier fondant cake for 100 to 130 guests starts at $725, a four-tier buttercream for 130 to 150 guests starts at $895, and a five-tier buttercream for 175 to 215 guests starts at $1,485. Fondant, sugar flowers, toppers, and edible images cost extra and generally need two weeks' notice.

Southern Luxury Cakes offers both in-person and take-home tastings by appointment and delivers for a quote based on distance, which it recommends for any cake with two tiers or more. The bakery also builds dessert bars, cupcake spreads, and faux display tiers, and asks couples to book at least three months ahead. It does not offer nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free, or gluten-free cakes and cannot guarantee against cross-contamination.
