Hi! I just made this cake this weekend for my Memaw's 90th birthday party...I was wondering how much I should charge for this cake if someone wanted it replicated?
Thank you!!

How long did it take you to make the cake, and how much did the ingredients cost?
It took about 6 hours all together. The roses took me a little while.
Cost probably...around $20.
If you can legally bake from home (i.e. your state has a cottage food law), one possible price would be $125: $20 in ingredients + $90 in labor ($15/hour * 6 hours) + $10 in estimated per-order overhead (insurance, utilities, etc.) + 25% profit margin.
If your state requires a licensed commercial kitchen for selling cakes you would need to add the cost for the kitchen rental into the price.
Yes! Texas just passed it!! Around $120 was what I was thinking in the first place.
I make my own fondant, so it is way cheaper than buying it.
Thank you so much for y'alls input!!

Thank you so much!! I will use your formula in the future!!
