I stumbled across this online and thought it might possibly be a help to some of you who are just starting out and don't know what to charge. (CC gets a lot of pricing questions).

Certainly make sure you are charging enough for your talent and time!

Thanks for posting this.

Oh I'm loving the posts at the end of the article!

LOL! I love some of those people's comments. People can be so naive.

I love how the first comment is about how her mom put poinsonous flowers on the cake! They're lucky no one got sick! As for all the other cheap-o commenters, I'm sure the cake looked fine to them, but in my mind I can't help but think how sad those cakes had to have looked. I can't imagine how some them tasted! Yuck!

Why is it that the same bride will pay $5,000 for a dress, but only wants to spend $100 for a cake to feed 500?

What is it about cake that makes some people such cheapskates?

there were a few in there that actually paid quite a bit for their cakes, and they didn't complain about it. Now the $18/serving on a carrot cake, I'd complain about that too.

Thanks for sharing this article!!
