My SIL's co-worker saw my 'belly' cake and she may want me to make her one. She is wanting to know a price. However, I do not even know where to begin in pricing it. Can anyone give me some suggestions? (I made it by using the sports ball pan and the mini sports pan) I thank you all in advance.

It really is a pretty cake. It is actually 3 cakes so I would charge probably somewhere around $60

In my neck of the woods I would probably charge at least $50 for it! Definitely no less than that! Great cake!

I'd say $65.00 is a good price for this cake. It's beautiful and I live the presentation. Great job.

Hi, how many servings do you get?? If it is the sports ball pan (that is 6") that is about 6 servings and the mini sports ball pan is one serving each, maybe 2. Or did you use the half soccer ball pan for the belly? I´m just trying to figure out the number of servings. I would also do about $3.50 per serving. OR you can also multiply your cost (down to a % of your electric bill) by 4. This gives a good estimate. HTH.

Beautiful cake BTW!

Nefgaby yes I used half of the sports ball pan. I will be going with $60 (I hope she doesn't pass out...yikes)

Can't get a cake like that just anywhere, unless of course it is from our fabulous C/C family! lol I would at least go the 60 dollar range also.

i wouldnt charge per servings on that type of cake only on wedding cakes but a set price of $60.00 sounds good
