It's not easy to tell, kneenah, because different kinds of cake have different densities, so two round cakes that are 10" in diameter by 4" in height won't necessarily weigh the same if one is a carrot cake and the other one is a yellow cake, or if one is a pound cake and the other is a chiffon. That's why we do it by slices.

Some countries price/sell cake by the pound. Are you in the U.S.?
What kind of cake?
(white, yellow, chocolate, RV, carrot, German chocolate, fruitcake...)

TODAY SOME LADY BOUGHT A CAKE TO HIS JOB AND TOLD THEM IT WAS 2 POUNDS SO I WAS CURIOUS DEPENDING ON THE SIZE I COULD SELL BY POUND SO BUT ITS TRUE WHAT MARIANN SAYS WHAT EVERY CAKE IS DIFFERENT.. LOL ILL JUST STICK TO SELLING BY SLICE..

In NYC, I'd say at least $3 a slice for fondant-covered cakes.
