I am soooo excited! Just wanted to share with everyone that I got my first paid cake order today!! icon_biggrin.gif I got an order for a homemade carrott cake with cream cheese frosting for Saturday. I will be making a 10 inch double layer cake and charged $30... do you think I overcharged or undercharged? Any feedback on that aspect would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the encouragement! The person/people that placed the order have sampled my cakes before. They got my practice wedding cake and loved it. Guess that is why they called for an order! icon_biggrin.gif

Congratulations on your order. If you feel good about what you charged, then it's perfect. There are some people on here who would charge less and some much more-it's really up to you.

Congrats! Very excited for you. I don't know much about pricing, but how did the customer react to that price? I think that would be your best indicator? But just guessing.
