I know it depends on your location and demand, but in your personal opinion did I charge enough for this cake? I charges $125.00. It is a 12" hex shape, 4.5 inches in height.

For some reason my pic will not attach, please click on madras650 photos below to view cake. It is the poker table cake.

Thank you for your time!

WOW what a great cake. $125 they got a deal.

With all that detailing I would have charged $150-$165 but then again it depends on your area.

what a cute cake. Looks like a lot of work but hard to say about price, depends on where you live, but I agree with poshcakedesigns, they got a great deal

Location, location, location... around my neck of the woods, it would be no more than $100.00 and probably closer to 75.00... people just don't appreciate what goes into them.

Everything depends on your area. Here I can't charge more than $2.50 a serving, plus figures. Your cake has lots of detail work , you probably could have charged more.

Great stuff there. Really full and happy well done cake.

I woulda charged by the Wilton wedding serving for the 12 inch hex 50 servings. Those are edible images? So that's a fondant covered non-tier cake. $4 a serving is $200

I'd toss in the decor--I mean you gotta decorate it with something so that's not totally over the top stuff. If I had to buy the images, I'd pass that charge onto my customer--but if I had the printer I'd absorb it into the $200.

I think $125 is on the low side--but it is respectable.

Cake pricing thoughts for you.

I think its a fair price for what you did. Too bad most people don't get that its not just flour sugar and eggs.

Your cake is gorgeous!

Totally agree with you!!! people havent a clue that you need to buy a board, box, colourings, gum tragacanth, all the liquid ingredients for fondant, etc - they think you basically make pure profit and never understand the work that goes into it - cake muggles - grrrrrrrrrrr

I could never get $125 for that cake in my area! Congrats to you! I am in the Tampa area and people don't want to spend money on cakes. They don't understand what goes into making a cake a piece of edible art!!
I had one customer tell me that the $70 price quote I gave her for a 2 tiered fondant/EI cake to feed 50 was too expensive, to knock it down to serve 24 kids and the parents can eat off the kids plate if they want cake!!!

I almost passed out!

Everyone always comments on my cakes. They tell me not only do they look beautiful but they taste amazing at that! but they complained about the price before hand!
