I know, I know but i have never sold one of my cakes i only do them for friends and family.....
How much would you charge for the strawberry shortcake cake in my pics, topper and all? One of the little girls mother that was at my dd birthday party wants me to remake it for her dd birthday. It was a 10, 8 and two 6 in cakes the barrel of strawberries is the other 6in it is all coverd in fondant. Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry to be of no help...I haven't done any topsy turvy. Just wanted to say that it's an adorable design. I'm sure you will get some replies before long.
It's so hard to say about price but it is sooooo pretty! I would suggest anywhere in the $6-12 dollars a slice range depending on where you live, bake from scratch, etc. Be sure to get a full deposit on that stand! Wish I had one.
hey...can't help....not good with pricing....my DH comes up with all my prices.....I just wanted to say WHY are you not selling these!!! Your cakes are so beautiful. It takes so much time to do them and to do them that good. Really if you can be legal you should be selling these, you are very talented.

You do AMAZING work! Do Not sell yourself short (even if it's for one of your dd friends!)
How long did it take you to make the cake? I can't imagine charging less than $5 to $7 a serving. Your cakes are fabulous, by the way!!
Thank you......I would love to become leagle one day..... i am really thinking hard about selling her this cake because of this purpose.
I have never sold a cake before either...but here is my best ballpark guess...I first went to a website to find out servings and this is what I found:
6" serves 6-8 (X2)
8" serves 12-15
10" serves 25-30
49-61 servings total, and then times it by how much you want to charge per slice and there you are. (That is the way that I would do it!)
shelley101, your cake is beautiful... no matter if it is made from scratch, from the box...or box extender or you bought the layers from a bakery.. you did all the hard work.. all the designing,etc... add up the slices, charge what you think you can get for it.. don,t start low... it is too beautiful to just give away.. anybody can make cake layers.. everybody can,t decorate, and especially like you did on this cake.. all of your cakes are beautiful..my teacher told me 13 years ago... people pay for your expertise in decorating... they can,t do it..she was a great and knowledgeable teacher..

Yeah, but Wilton's wedding slice chart for 2 layer cakes, totaling 4" high are:
6" round= 12
8" round= 24
10" round= 38
That's 74 servings- don't undercharge. I've found them to be pretty accurate, unless you are serving teens!
