I made this frog cake for a friend at work and 3 people want to order one. I have no idea how much to charge. I used the white almond sour cream cake and it took 2 batches of buttercream dream icing with hardly any left over. I carved it from 2 9x13 sheet cakes and didn't waste that much. I will however smooth the icing. It was last minute and with the new crisco taking so long to crust, I didn't have time to wait. What would you guys charge? There is not specialty cake bakers in my area. Only walmart, brookshires and 1 bake shop that does plain sheet cakes. Thanks so much.
Can't add the pic but it is in my photos. Thanks again
okay......for ANY carved cake I charge 2.25 a serving and this cake has got to be at least fifty servings......that's over 100 dollars easily! Very cute by the way.......you have some great carving skills too! Not so easy to see a frog in two 9x13's! Oh and by the way I live in a small town in Ohio and people are cheap cheap and they have never complained about my prices!
Here is a cake matrix that I use to get an idea. I got it off this site. You can do a search for it and others but typing in "cake matrix". I think it is a good starting spot. You can adjust for your icing and such on the extra pages. I would just up your hourly wage for the fact that sculpting was involved. Good luck!
