Friend Wondering If She Got "taken" On Price Of Ca
Decorating By MrsMom Updated 24 Feb 2007 , 5:32pm by Candy120
I think that it's a great deal even if she was paying for a half-sheet because when you think about the sizing and such, with the fillings, that's still less than what Walmart charges for the same thing... And they're WAY lower than they should be on pricing as it is...
Um yeah! I would charge at least $50 for a 9x13!
that's great for a full sheet.
I charge $100 for a full sheet cake..now mind you sam's club charges $10.99 for a quarter sheet and for full its $35.99.
I asked her if she was sure it was a full sheet and she said yes, but that the bakery told her it would serve 65-75. 
I also told her that even at 65-75 servings it was only a little over $1 per slice. She said she hadn't thought of it that way and felt better about the price.
Wow we only charge $60.00 for a full sheet. $3.00 for a filling of your choice. Were do you guys live to get that kind of money?
The only full sheet I've done had candy tools painted in luster dusts, GM logos and a chocolate transfer of a tow truck and I charged $120. The woman who bought it had already bought cakes from me so she knew my prices.
I live so far from nowhere that I have to travel 2 hours to find a McDonalds in North Dakota.
My prices start at $4.25 a person so she got a great deal. Of course, I don't do sheet cakes.
$50 for a 9"x13"? I am moving to wherever you live!!! I would be laughed out of town if I tried to charge that, even with filling and fondant!! I am SO jealous of you guys that can charge like $5 a serving for wedding cakes. My cakes start at $.75 a serving for sheet cakes and go up to $1.25 a serving for tiered cakes. That does not include fondant, filling, or ganache, but even those are only $.25 per serving each, so we're talking like $.75 or so a serving for the most expensive stuff. 
I guess I have to take into consideration that perhaps I pay less for ingredients. Let's hope that's true, otherwise I am really going to bawl!! 
I'm with you, Melvira, I was feeling a little depressed comparing my prices to what they have been posting! I charge $15 for a 9x13. That's decorated with whatever they want put on it. If I do a picture with alot of detail I will charge $18. Although, I don't feel like my cakes are the quality that would warrant getting $50 for a 9x13. My wedding cakes are priced at $1.25 per serving and they provide the flowers.
I know, I know, I'm in Los Angeles. But here's what my local bakery would have charged:
Full sheet cake $105 for most flavors
Edible image $20 extra
Fresh pineapple $40 extra
Grand total: $165
Serves 75-80 according to their flyer, so that would be $2.20 a slice.
wow............I just did 2 9X13's together for a baby shower and charged $15 (course it was a family member) still not sure I even broke even on that! I have never charged more than $20 for a cake, but then again I am just a hobbiest doing stuff for myself, family and friends.
THANK GOD, Melvira posted her pricing! I was ALSO feeling bad for myself here! i have to deliver a Wedding Cake in a couple of hours and i'm letting this 3 tiered baby go for $165! (6", 10" ,14"). White chocolate cake with BC. I have to get batteries for my camera and then i'll take a pic and post it. (it came out pretty well, too! i'm proud of this one!) let's hope when i dleiver it it will be as pretty! (gotta go about 15 miles.....)
...so sheet and half sheet sizes are different for everyone? I am confused! (surprise surprise!) 
A 9x13 is a quarter, right?
I was thinking a 11x15 was a half...??? No???
I have made my first sale of an 11x15 , torted, for 30 bucks.
(I told meself I was just gonna do this for fun!)
So I guess I am giving them a good deal, huh?
Well, at least they're good friends.
