Do you think these cake prices are ok? to low? to high?
I am really just starting out, still learning.
I live in north central Oklahoma( location makes a big differance, I know)

My round cakes are 2 layer torted, so 4 layers of cake, 3 filling

6" 16.00
8 25.00
10 34.00

sheet cakes ( which I really don't care for but it's what everyone around here is used too.)

9x13 1 layer 18.00
2 layer 27.00

11x15 1 layer 27.00
2 layer 48.00 full sheet would be 60 and 100.00

This would be for just basic flavors, how much more should I charge for flavors like carrot, hummingbird. etc.

Also have basic fillings and then some that I will charge extra for, depending on cake size. Plus the usual extras for fondant, transfers, edible images)

Opinions???

I'd say that at least the 9x13 is too low. I live in North Dakota and the grocery store bakery charges $19.99 for theirs, one layer, no filling, comes in frozen. I wouldn't go any less than $25 for that but would say more like $30-35 for a 1 layer 9x13 (the last one I sold was $35 and pretty basic)
