How much do you all charge for a 3-tier cake dummy, with the top tier being cake (like a 6 or 8-inch) and the whole thing frosted/decorated in buttercream? I'm just looking for a general idea...

I normally charge a base price of $2.00 for my wedding cakes so if doing a dummy cake I would probably charge $1.25 based on the servings that it could get if real.

They sure do! I've got a bride who will be serving sheet cakes to guests, but wants the dummy cake for show in the reception area.
