I'm thinking there is around 33 (1.5" - 2" inch)servings at $4.50 a serving for around $148.50. That is without the bottle. I would charge another $18.00 or so for the bottle. Appx. $166.50.
I price mine a bit differently. I don't price the crate at a sculpted price because in this case, there is not that much to it. I start with your basic 1/2 sheet cake price, add a percentage to it for the fondant covering it. then definitely go for the bucks on the bottle and the "straw". I would figure $100 on those. That is where the work is, not in the crate
So really coming out to almost the same amount as quoted by tiptop.
The crate is basically a single layer 1/2 sheet cake cut in 3, you are not carving it and there are no details.
My 1/2 sheet basic design cake is $45, add 1/3 more for fondant (33%) which equals $60, then the $100 for all the detail, carving, fondant, straw. on top.
Ooooo.... Keep those answers coming!
I need help pricing my cakes, too, as I have been way undercharging. I wanted to charge $4 per slice, but some cakes are much more time consuming than others, and some are much more challenging to construct.
Here's another question: How do you go about asking for deposits? A check in the mail?
I do "check in the mail", I also have every cake that is over $100, paid a week in advance (time for their check to clear or time to go to THEIR bank).
Thanks for the help. It's interesting to see how everyone prices their cakes. I am new to this and a hard time justifying the cost even though I know how much goes into making them. I think a lot of people underestimate the labor involved. Thanks again!
