How Much Should I Charge For This Cake?
Decorating By ksmith1012 Updated 17 Oct 2009 , 5:17pm by ksmith1012
This was my first ordered cake today. I charged $50- It was my first real cake I have done, and I wasnt sure how it was going to turn out. It has fondant accents and pearls. It is a 4" high 12x18 half-sheet cake. Just wanting some input for future reference. Thanks!
Well i was trying to attach it, but my files are too large. So if you dont mind looking in my photos, it is the baby shower cake.
Man I didnt mean to post this in the "How do I" section. Sorry. :/ Still getting used to the forums!
It is a beautiful cake, I too am wondering since I have been asked to do the same size cake. 12x18x4. Thanks,
Sarah
I charge $45.00 for that size. but mine is only 2" deep. Is your pan 4" deep or is this 2 layers? I alway add 10.00 to my double layer cakes. So that cake for me would have been 55.00. Hope that helps!
I would price it at about $2.50, $2.75 per serving.*
I would get about 108 servings.
So like $250 $275 ish
You are getting 46 cents a serving. oh my oh my
The bow and ribbon are fondant?
It's very nice work.
*edited to say per Wilton's 1 x 2 x 4 chart
No, the bow & ribbon are fabric, the baby feet & daisies are fondant. sorry i didnt clarify, Im not that good yet! =)

Just any minute though!
i go mostly by the wilton chart. and that size cake yeilds about 72 servings per wilton. but i always round down, so i would figure b/w 65-70 servings realistically. I charge 2.00/serving with buttercream. so that one for me in cincy would be about $130-140
very nice work by the way
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply to my post. It was very eye opening =) It will definitely be the last time i charge $.46 a serving! $2 per serving is definitely more reasonable! Thanks again! =)
