I assume you mean sheet cakes, right? Well, you'll probably get a wide range of answers but I charge $35 for a 1/2 sheet cake with basic bc decorations. HTH

Wow! I feel cheap! icon_biggrin.gif

I charge $40 for a 9x13 and $50 for a 12x18 (but it's usually cut into some shape and not really 12x1icon_cool.gif. I guess if I did do a full 12x18, I would charge $65 or so?

We live in a small town and peole are not willing to pay what they should for cakes. DH has said if the orders keep up like they have been he is going to raise the prices. We have 6 this weekend.

9x13 - 25.00
12x18 - 35.00
Those are single layers.

It all depends on your #1 your cost and #2 your location. There is no way I could sell someone in my town a 12 x 18 sheet cake for $50+. Some of the other posters with higher prices live in big cities and people will pay their prices. I'd charge more if I could but I people around here will always compare to Walmart. I don't try to compete with Walmart but I always have to keep them in mind when I price things. icon_wink.gif

For mine it's usually:

9x13 = $25
11x15 = $35
12x18 = $45

And it can go up from there.
