How Much Would You Charge For This Cake??
Decorating By sunflowerfreak Updated 7 Aug 2007 , 12:18am by Luxe42
OK I have someone asking me what I would charge for this cake. If the tiers were 14, 12, 10 and 8 inches with the same topper made out of gumpaste, how much would you charge? How many people would that feed? I know there is a conversion chart somewhere on CC where it gives how many bride sized servings versus family size. Anyone know where that chart is? I need help. Thanks.
Total dummy that I am I forgot the picture. Here it is. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Ok, so it's 155 servings according to earlene's chart. Depending on your pricing in your area, $2.50-$4 per serving plus $100 for the topper.
So, anywhere from $487.50 to $720 total, depending on your market, and the flavors and fillings. If they are fruitcake or something expensive, adjust accordingly.
Wow.. it's a beautiful cake. I hope you are able to get closer to $700!!
OK she's decided that she doesn't want the flowers in gumpaste. She wants them either real or silk. So that won't be included in the price. She needs a cake that will feed 120. So if I did a smaller version like 12, 10, 8 and 6 inch. how many would that feed? Where can I find Earlene's conversion chart?
don't flinch when the number gets big - they should pay for what they order.
That's perfect! Sometimes it [price] seems outrageous but the formula is there for a reason.
It's not.... x+b=y *unless y looks really expensive and the client might have cardiac arrest when told the price
it's really just x+b=y
period.
Man I need to make some wedding cakes!!
