This is my first wedding cake. The cake was made for a home reception at the request of a good friend. She offered to pay me $50 for the cake and she would provide the cake topper (it was HUGE). Is that a fair price for this cake? It will serve approx 25 people - so, $2.00 a slice. The tiers are a 6" and 8" covered and filled with cream cheese icing. The fondant pearls and ribbon were colored with claret luster dust. I am so new to this I want to make sure that I am fair to myself and customers.

If she is providing the topper, I would say that is a good price.

Cute cake, and Yup.....sounds very fair!! Great job!

Beautiful cake! Love that claret color

Sounds good. With the cream cheese and pearls you could even go a few bucks more!

Thanks for the advice!

$75

considering you had to make the fondant pearls and ribbon.

I blindfold it in $95.00, for a next one a little but, the decoration is beautiful.

I think that since she is a friend, $50 is fair. For a customer I would charge a little more, like $60. Cute cake, but you're right - that topper is HUGE!
