I've been asked to make this cake (picture attached) and I'm not sure how much to charge. Can someone give me an idea of how they figure out what to charge for different cakes?

Thanks

I dont think your picture attached Maybe its my comp.

nope, i don't see a pic either

Don't see any picture.

start by figuring out what size cakes you need to feed x amount of people

30-35 people. The cake says the bottom layer is 12inch and the top layer is 8inch.

That's more than enough cake for 35-35 people.

depending on where you live your cake slices can be 1.50 to 5.00 per slice. this is how most ppl price their cakes. call around to see what it is then go from there

And is it just me or the position of the pic or what but does that cake look short? The layers dont appear to be 4in. No offense meant obviously, just wondering it anyone else noticed.

with the layers shown, that would serve 70 ppl. I would go with a 6" and 9" for 44 servings.

As for pricing, I go with a basic price per serving. Mine would be $2.00/serving. So 2x44=$88.00. Then I would add $20.00 more for the cornelli lace bc it takes awhile to do. Then add $15 for the rose topper (if it's not attached to the couple). So, 88+20+15=$125 for me. It would be $110 if the rose was part of the couple topper that the customer provided.

I think they are only single layer cakes. I only have 2" deep pans, do you think they should be doubled?
