I sent this order out last night and charged $40.00 for the pair. They were all buttercream with FBCT on top and tinkerbell had a MMF "ribbon" for the name. I am really having a problem figuring out how much to charge. My family thinks I should have charged more.

It would be really helpful if we started putting the price we charged in the description of the cake.

with how good your work is, I would have charged 40.00 a piece!

What size are the cakes? You did an awesome job. I think Tinkerbell is one of the hardest cakes to do because of her eyes, but yours is beautiful

Those are both great cakes! What size were they? I would have probably charged $27 or so for ea., depending on the size. I charge different prices for different size cakes and then add a cost for each additional item. Those FBCTs I would have charged probably $7-10 each. That's just me, though. I used to undercharge but found it just wasn't worth it to take the time away from my family for no profit.
You did a great job!

I think you definitely undercharged! Your cakes look fantastic!! How big were the cakes?

I have decided that I am no longer going to turn my oven on for less than 25.00. That is for one cake. I have trouble pricing too, but am working on it.

I guess it depends on the size. I charge $30-40 for a 8"-9" cake like that. Everyone does this when they start. I remember charging $20 for a 3layer 10" cake when I first started!

They were both 2 layer 9 inch cakes. This is only my third order and I guess I will get better at pricing as I go along.

Looking at the price list I just came up with for my area for a 6" 2 layer I charge $15 but the FBCT are extra and based on those I would have charged $10.00 each. I was doing the same thing just recently. I take my ingredients and X3 then round up to the nearest $.

I charge $36 for 9" rounds- includes frosting, filling and a FBCT - a simple one- I add a little bit if the transfer is a more difficult one.

Yes, you undercharged! I would have charged $45 EACH! Lovely cakes btw!

Yeah, I would have charged maybe $70

Beautiful cakes!! They're worth $40 each!!

At least 30 bucks each....nice cakes!!!!

They are beautiful. I would have charged $40 each. Your detail is very nicely done.

I agree with everyone else. $40 each! They are great, good job

Thanks for the compliments and the pricing advice. Boy....do I feel dumb! I'll just have to call it a learning experience and charge more the next time. I'm afraid to give too high of an estimate and then have the customer back out. I think I'll feel better about charging more when I get a larger customer base.
