How Much Would You Charge For This Cake?

I love this cake but its got so so so much work in it that it would be expensive!
So much detail!! Dont know where you would start to cost it haha
I live in the Northeast and my daughters wedding cake with fondant decorations for about 150 people will probably be around $7.00 a slice - YIKES!!!! this is a wedding splurge!!
I don't think this cake would exist here for anywhere under $200.
$4.00 a slice from a specialty cake person gets you a plain cake with a few scrolls.
I think with all of the fondant detail that $4.00 a serving would be a good price (I figure my servings as 1"x2"x4") I think I would include up to one layer of my everyday fillings in this price also. I use the sleeved fillings and my everyday ones are bavarian creme, Strawberry, raspberry, lemon and choc bavarian
HTH
That is a pretty neat cake.
Well if i was going to do that cake i wouldnt be scared to charge alot... is $7.00 a slice expensive? I price my cakes different we dont go per slice..
i say $400 but ya it depends on where you live
I start my whimsical cakes at $5 p/s and "shaped" cakes at $6 p/s...this has both.
This also has some very precise sugarwork. When a figure has to look like a character, the work is doubled.
I figure somewhere in the range of $550-$600 based on 90-100 servings.
I have no idea what to charge but just wanted to let you know that now after seeing that cake i have the Super Mario Bros theme song stuck in my head. LOL
This sounds harsh, but you know cakes would go for thousands at Duffs, at least start at 575 and work up. It didn't cost a 1$ to pay for all the supplies, and think of future supplies too! Just my input
At the very least $700.00. I would say closer to $1,000. There is a lot of work & detail on that cake.
If your gonna do a great job like the picture then i agree with superstar there is so much work! haha
I would say a good $4.00-$5.00 per slice and my prices start out at $1.50/slice.
How many is it going to serve? How big will the tiers be? Is the mushroom on the top cake or made of fondant/gumpaste? What kind of cake will it be made of? What fillings? For that cake I'd charge a minimum 5$ per serving plus ~100$ for the modeling that would have to be done. If it had premium fillings and cake flavors it'd be more per serving. That's a labro intensive cake.. all the fondant work and modeling.. it's such a cool cake though. I'd LOVE it for my birthday..
