Hi,
Im going to do a 1st birthday cake and i need to know what to charge for it. I am doing an 8in layered cake covered in MMF and a 3-d duck made from the wilton pan.

Im thinking about charging her
a) 45 for the cakes with MMF
or
b)30 with only buttercream.


I would like to know opinions on this, if its fair, high or low.

Many thanks in advance!

I'd probably get about $75 but I seem to be among the higher priced on this board. Maybe its because I'm in a big city?

I think $45 is too little.
I agree w/ leahs... around that price range should be OK.

Remember, you have to charge for your materials, ingrediants, and time...
sometimes people fail to realize that...

You guys are so wonderful at helping with pricing!!! I wish I had picked your brains last week, before I made a cake that ended up being WAY underpriced!!!!!
Thanks for helping everyone in this area!! I am learning too!
