I know its probably been asked several times, but I really dont have the time to go thru al the forums,,,,sooooo,,,,,could someone please tell me what to charge for a Castle Cake made using the wiltons kit. It looks like lot of work but I dont want to over charge,,,,anyones help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

You're going to get various replies based on location, detail, experience and opinion!! I personally start at $200 for a 2-tiered cake. Most castles are a minimum of 2 tiers. Castles require more detail (usually) than most tiered cakes, so generally speaking, my castles start at $250 and go up from there. Quite a bit up depending on the cake.

The attached castle was using the wilton kit. It had four more "towers" to be added, but I had them boxed separately for the customer to place when they got it to their destination.

That is one gorgeous castle!!!

Those Castle cake are REALLY time consuming, more so then I imagined when I started to make one. Not difficult, just time consuming. I wouldn't do it for less then $125 at least! But probably should go higher!

I charge my regular tiered per serv. price and then charge an additional $20.00 to decorate the towers plus $20.00 deposit on the towers........if they want the towers to all be edible then it is $30.00 with no deposit.

KHalstead, that's a good way to do it. The towers are where the extra work comes in to play...never thought of it that way, thanks!
