I do not typically make sheet cakes (except as kitchen cakes for weddings) or "deli style" round. So I have an inquiry for making 3 10" round Pound or Red Velvet cakes (both from scratch family recipes), no extra decorations just ice and star border. It is for a rehearsal dinner.
So how much should I charge for a standard 10" round with basically no decorations?
As always~ thanks in advance! ![]()
A 10" round usually serves about 23-25 people. (we are talking regular serving slices) If making red velvet or pound, I would charge at least $2.50 - $3.00/serving given all the butter/eggs in pound cake and buttermilk/cream cheese frosting in red velvet. Any restaurant would charge much more for a slice of cake. HTH, good luck & welcome to CC!!!! ![]()

In my area, I would sell a 10" round with BC for $30. I use a cake mix as a base so the cost may be a bit lower than from scratch.
Well...I don't really have a normal price. Since I primarily do carved stuff the price is mostly all labor since ingredients aren't but a small fraction of the project. I know I will have to revise this significantly once I open a store front since it takes me so long ot sketch cakes then price them. ![]()
For wedding kitchen cakes I have charged around $2.25 in the past only because of the flavors requested.
URGH! I hate pricing! It is the most challenging part of the "job".
Thanks!
