How much does a custom cake cost in Chișinău (2026)
Real per-kilogram prices, what drives the cost, and how to budget for your cake.
Price is calculated per kilogram
At Lili Bakery, like most serious bakeries in Chișinău, a custom cake is priced per kilogram, not per piece. Our rates start at 550 MDL/kg and go up to 700 MDL/kg depending on the filling you choose.
Why per kilogram? Because a cake for 10 guests and one for 50 use very different amounts of ingredients. Pricing per kilogram is the fairest, most transparent method.
What drives the final price
Flavour and filling — a simple sponge with cream costs less than one with fresh fruit, nuts or special layers. Each filling has its own per-kg price, shown clearly on the site.
Decor — this is paid separately from the per-kilogram price, based on complexity. A minimalist cake is affordable; hand-modelled figures, sugar elements and elaborate themed decor add to the cost. We agree on everything together once you pick a model.
Weight — we recommend it based on your guest count, so you don't overpay.
How to estimate your budget quickly
Use our cake calculator: tell us how many guests you have, and we instantly show the recommended weight and a price estimate. For a 3 kg cake (about 16 guests), the budget starts around 1650 MDL for the base filling.
For large events — weddings, christenings, corporate — we prepare a custom quote. Leave your details in the form on those pages and we'll call you.
