I am the WORST at pricing my items! I recently did a large wedding cake for my nephew ( it is the square cornelli lace one in my pics) and gave it as my gift to the new couple. I was asked by several people how much I would charge for a cake like that. I don't know! Here what is was: a 14 inch double layer bottom of white cake and buttercream filling, a 12 inch double layer chocolate with chocolate chip buttercream filling on top of that; the middle layers of the cake were one 12 inch double layer chocolate with chocolate chip buttercream and an 8 inch double layer carrot with pineapple buttercream filling; the top layer was an 8 inch double layer carrot with pineapple buttercream. It was all covered in cuttercream and cornelli lace. My area is not that big - our biggest store around in WalMart. I want to be fair but I also want to make some income from this. Any imput would be great. Thanks in advance! 
Okay, first of all, that is one huge cake! 
And, it's beautiful!
How many people did was it supposed to serve? It's a bc cake with some higher priced fillings, so I would start there -- $3.00 per serving sound right?
Don't know what the guest # was, but start there. Most people start at $2.00 per serving and $3.00 or more for fondant. But, the more in demand you are, the more you can charge.
Hope this helps.

Wow - I make it that that cake would serve around 300 people!!! I charge $3.50 per slice for BC wedding cakes, so my price would be $1050!!!
