I am just beginning to start selling my cakes. The one thing i am having the most time with is calculating the price. I have had several people tell me that I must figure my cost and my time, etc....This is just too complicated for simple me!! icon_surprised.gif)

Would anyone be willing to share their pricing for basic types of cakes/sizes?

Thanks in advance!!

It really does depend on where you live. Your best bet is to check out local bakeries and go from there.

Lizbuth,

For a basic 9x13 cake, I charge $20. That goes up if they want something special like an edible image. (I charge 6.00 a per sheet of Icing I have to use) Fondant accents also cost more, as well as any special fillings.

I charge 30 for a 12x18 ,and 50 for a full sheet. These prices are for a basic buttercream one 2 inch layer cake. Buttercream decorations are included of course.
