I know I'm wearing out the pricing thing but...just one more request! How much for this cake? (2 layer 6" & 3 layer 9" cakes with icing and ice cream cones for towers)
Also, how many do you suppose this would feed? |

I would charge for the 6" $25 + 9" $35 + $10 for decorations = $70.00  |

Do you have pricing for tiered cakes? (ie:wedding/anniv.)
Any cake that is tiered should be priced the same = $$$$ per serving no matter the occasion.
A minimum of $2 per serv. is a good average. Most are $2.50-$3 I think.
A 9"x4" cake serves 32; a 6"x4" serves 8-10 so I would say nothing less than $75-90 for the castle. |

It may depend on your location. I think $70 is reasonable. |

Well IMO, that cake would serve 40, and at my base price of $2.50 per serving - $100 |

this is a very nice cake! I am curious to find out if it might be worth more than $70....
I have not yet sold any cakes in my life but according to the Wilton guide, the 6 inch tier would serve 12 people and the 9 inch tier would serve 32++ (mainly because of the additional layer)... That comes out to be 44 servings plus the decor....
I am curious what the experts say |

It all depends on your area on how much to charge...remember you are not Wal-Mart!
I would charge at least $50 or more. |

I have that this cake (if both layers were 4" tall) feeds 43 ppl. So with the additional layer of 9" on there I would figure my pricing with an additional 15 servings. At $2.50/serving it would start at $145.00 with only buttercream filling. |
