How Much Would You Charge For This Cake
Decorating By Celinescakery Updated 17 Jan 2011 , 2:47pm by Celinescakery
Hi everybody, I'm doing cakes for fun for a while now (not professionally) but more often people ask me if the can order a cake but I don't know what to charge at all if I would do it.
Can you give me some advice - for example for a cake like my last one (see picture)....
Thanks a million.... C.
{I can't add the picture - tried it a couple of times} You could see the cake under my photo section - the first one "Simpsons cake".... Thanks
Forgot some details I think (sorry)... So this is a 2 layer whimsical cake (10" and 8") cake, Raspberry filling, covered with chocolate ganache and MMF.
Two tier cake - I'd be charging at least £70.

My fruit fillings are using all fresh fruit and cooking them... so if I made a 10" and 8" TT, first, I wouldn't let them have raspberry filling, but if for some reason I did, it would $330 if the topper is a toy.
Sorry..It's just your cakes look very professional.Sometimes we get people who come on this site and ask silly questions and it ends up being a troll/joke and they start a big discussion about a ficticional story etc and many people get involved and end up getting angry that is was a spoof.I was wondering if this was such a person...Your cakes are gorgeous andI can't believe that you are not in business etc...so it sounded weird you asking prices... I didn't mean to sound suspicious... 
I do apologize....
@Kiddiekakes 
Don't worry - I was just wondering what that supposed to mean and I'm even happier that you thought my cakes look professional - more reason to go more officially. So Thank you 
@everybody else: Thanks so far - I really appreciate your suggestions and your help.
Ciao, C.

Thanks for your respond - but why you wouldn't let them have raspberry mouse filling?
Thanks, C.

Agreed. And also, area of the world, years of experience, how well known you are in the area all play a part. So what I charge isn't really going to help someone, may not even help someone in my area if all the factors aren't aligned. BUT I do no think it's funny to give answers, knowing that the person couldn't take and apply my price to their life.

Because it's not as stable.

You are right - these are exactly the things I have to find out but I totally understand that nobody can give me an exact number - I just thought it might be helpful for me to have an average where I can start with. If I have offended anyone - well, then I'm sorry. C.

That's right - and I'm speaking of bad experience here. But I figured that when I'm using the ganache as a dam and for crumb coating then it stays where it belongs. Thanks.
