Wedding cake gallery, Harare

We can adapt the design to your colours, tier count, flavour, and budget. This gallery is part of our wedding cakes service, which starts at USD 200 for a two-tier.

How to use this gallery

Save what catches your eye. Most couples send us three or four screenshots: one cake they want as the base shape, one detail they want copied (a piping pattern, a sugar flower, a hand-painted monogram), one colour to match, and one to avoid. We then design something that is yours, not a copy of someone else's cake.

Pricing moves with the build, not just the size. Tier count, fondant or buttercream, sugar flowers versus fresh, hand-painted detail, and delivery all shift the quote. For published starting figures see our full price list. For the longer breakdown of what drives the number, read how much wedding cakes cost in Harare.

Wedding cake sizes and servings

A quick reference for the tier counts you will see in the grids below.

Servings depend on slice size. For the published starting figures and the current size-by-size breakdown, see our full price list.

Two-tier wedding cakes

The most common shape we deliver, both for white weddings with close family only and for vow renewals. Two flavours are possible across the two tiers, which matters when half the room wants rich fruit and the other half wants sponge. For the full brief, sizing, and starting price, see our dedicated two-tier wedding cakes page.

Three-tier wedding cakes

Our most-booked wedding cake shape, and the one that gives you room to mix two wedding cake flavours across the tiers. Full pricing, structural notes, and flavour pairings live on our dedicated three-tier wedding cakes page.

Four and five-tier wedding cakes

These are the cakes you book when the cake table sits in the middle of the room, when the venue has a high ceiling that swallows a smaller cake, or when the guest list crosses both families in full. Dummy tiers are an option if you want the silhouette without paying to bake the volume. WhatsApp us for a quote on the exact build.

Roora Day cakes

From USD 35 for a single tier. Roora Day cakes are sized for the families in the room, not the full wedding guest list, so most are one or two tiers. The brief is different from a white wedding cake: matched family colours, both surnames on the topper with the groom's above the bride's, the date worked in, and delivery to the bride's family home in time for the elders' seating. Many couples choose dual flavours on a two-tier, with rich fruit on the upper tier for the elders and sponge or chocolate on the lower for the wider room.

See the full brief, with cultural notes and tier guide, on our Roora Day cakes page.

Rich fruit wedding cakes

Brandy-fed, dense, aged. Rich fruit is the traditional wedding cake in Zimbabwe and the one most often chosen for the upper tier when older relatives are in the room. It also travels and keeps better than a sponge, which is why some couples save the top tier for an anniversary the following year. Sizes run from a small at USD 50 through to an extra-large at USD 120 as a single cake. We bake it as a standalone cake or as one tier on a mixed wedding stack. See our dedicated rich fruit wedding cake page for the full brief.

Buttercream finish

Buttercream is softer and more textured than fondant. It carries piped detail, takes fresh flowers easily, and reads warmer in photos. In Harare's climate it holds cleanly when the cake is delivered close to the cut and kept out of direct sun. If you are looking at a garden wedding or an October afternoon ceremony, ask us how we time the delivery.

Fondant finish

Fondant gives you sharp edges, a smooth painted surface, and the structural strength to carry sugar flowers, hand lettering, or sculpted detail. Ask for it when the cake is the photograph everyone will want, or when the design needs a flat surface for edible printing or gold leaf.

Sugar flowers and hand-painted detail

Sugar flowers cost more than fresh because each petal is hand-shaped, dried, dusted, and wired. A single open peony takes time to build. Hand-painted detail (monograms, brushed gold, Shona or Ndebele text in edible ink) works best on fondant. These are the close-ups. If a particular detail is the reason you save a photo, scroll this section.
