Forty-five to sixty after a full meal with other desserts present, or twenty-eight to thirty-five if the cake is the main dessert.

How long does a 5 pound fondant cake take?

Four to five days for a covered design, and a full week if it includes sculpting or heavy modelling. Large fondant cakes take longer to cover and set than small ones.

How Much Does a 5 Pound Fondant Cake Cost in Lahore?

Cake The Great Team7 September 20264 min read

Short answer

A 5 pound fondant cake in Lahore costs roughly Rs 13,000–20,000 in 2026, depending on how much modelling and hand-painting the design carries. It serves 45–60 people after a meal. Allow four to five days — fondant at this size needs longer to cover and set than a 2 lb cake, and any sculpted element pushes it to a week.

Five pounds is the size where people start asking whether one cake or two tiers makes more sense, and where the flavour surcharge stops being trivial. Both are worth thinking about before you order.

The price

Finish at 5 lb	Price in 2026
Buttercream	Rs 8,000 – 13,000
Fondant, simple covering and piping	Rs 13,000 – 16,000
Fondant with modelled figures or painting	Rs 16,000 – 20,000
Sculpted 3D at this weight	Rs 15,000 – 25,000
Premium flavour surcharge	+ Rs 2,000

The premium surcharge is Rs 400 per pound, which at 5 lb becomes a real decision rather than a small upgrade.

How many it feeds

Forty-five to sixty people after a full meal where other desserts are present, or twenty-eight to thirty-five if the cake is the main dessert. That covers a large family gathering, an office floor, or a mid-sized engagement.

One 5 lb cake or two tiers?

At the same total weight, two tiers cost a few thousand rupees more — they need boards, dowels and on-site assembly. What you get for that is height in the photographs and the option of two different flavours. If the cake is a stage centrepiece, tiers are worth it. If it is a table cake at a family dinner, a single 5 lb round is better value.

Lead time at this size

Four to five days for a covered fondant design, and a full week if there is sculpting or heavy modelling. Larger fondant cakes take longer than small ones because the covering is harder to lay without tearing and the ganache base needs longer to chill firm.
