Hello Guys,
How much would do you charge a pineapple upside down cake?? in pounds please. This is my first order, and I do not want to charge the person wrong.
Thanks a lot :)
ACost of ingredients, supplies and overhead plus hourly wage plus profit in line with local market rates. In pounds.
Seriously you have to do the work and figure out your own prices. You're not ready to take orders until you know whether there's even any profit in your product. What if I say £20 and you don't realize until later that your ingredients are going to cost £15 alone? You will have done all that and have nothing to show for it.

AFrom their other posts I've figured out that they're talking about weight, because that's how it's done where they're from but not where they live.
So, How do you guys charge? i'm not really familiarized with this topic to be honest. I just know I've bought Dominican cakes here in PA for my family member's birthday parties, and they charged me by pound. For example, I told them the servings I needed and they told me how many pounds of cake I needed and then they charged. I apologize if I haven't been clear enough.
Dominican cake images look like everyone else's cakes....

You write "I've bought Dominican cakes here in PA for my family member's birthday parties, and they charged me by pound." I've never heard of that before on the west coast.
Wherever "PA" is located at.....( the state of Pennsylvania?) there is where your answer will be.
Speak to your local neighbors and friends. Look at the cakes in your grocery stores and bakeries.
