Actually, there are TWO 9" layered hearts, so do you charge $35 for one, or are you saying for both? (Can you tell I am really bad at this. lol)
Thank you1

Are the cakes 2 layers? or one cake torted? (I always do two layers cause I like them to be tall)

I was thinking along the lines of $100-110 but I am usually too low (and that's even with me trying to up it, LOL)

What do you mean by layered? Most cakes are either 2, 3 or 4 layers of cake & filling and approx. 3.5 - 4.5 inches high. So I think when you said 2 9" layers we assumed you made 2 9" cake layers and stacked them to about 4" high (frosted and filled) and another 6" round on top.... that's how I interpreted it and I could be wrong. I was thinking about $75 but I am always offended icon_redface.gif when someone comes up with a price much less than what I wanted to charge.....so what did you have in mind?

Sorry...lol... It is four 2" high 9" heart cakes, and 2 6" round cakes. So it will be 3 filled cakes put together when it is all done. I know I am so confusing. SORRY! Thanks guys!

OK, I have to revise my price because I didn't realize it was (2) 2 layer 9 inch hearts with (1) 2 layer 6 in round. My new price would be.............

$137.50! ($55 for each 2 layer heart and $27.50 for the 2 layer 6 in round)

I feel more comfortable charge per serving. It could be anywhere between $3.00 and $ 6.00 per serving. Depending on the cake and time and work put into it.
