Do you charge the same per serving for a TT cake that you charge for other tiered cakes or do you charge more?

Debbie

I charge a little more since it is harder to work with. And how much more, well, depends on the detail of the decorations and if using fondant or BC.

Great! Thanks! I thought it would warrant a bit more but wanted to check in first.

Debbie

oh, one more thing ~ do you deduct any servings for the cake you cut out for the tiers to sit flat?

I would definitely charge more... anytime you have to sculpt a cake, especially one like the topsy turvy cakes, you need to have additional charges for them. There is a lot of work that goes into those.

mmm.... good question, I would calculate how many servings I may get from the new shaped cake and charge based on the new number of servings... so I guess YES, I would deduct a little since it will serve less people. HTH

Thank you! I'll give her a price for a standard tiered and a topsy turvey style and take it from there!

Oh, my starting price would have to be a thousand bucks. I have made just one, the one in my avatar and they are such a lot of work. Crumbs everywhere!

Well ~ it turned out beautifully!
