Ok, first my name is Sara and I am a newbie. I haven't taken any classes most of what I've learned, I have learned on CC. This is an incredible resource for all decorators. I have a problem I need your ladies help with. I have a huge order coming up and I have no idea what to charge. I have to make 2 sheet cakes (18X12) decorated in BC and simple transfer then I am making a stacked cake 12" 10" and 8" rounds (double layer of course). I need to feed between 200 and 250 people. I have quoted $65 a piece for the sheets I have to get back to them about the stacked cake. Thank you so much for your comments.

May be too late, but if it is legal to sell home baked goods, you should set your prices generally, per serving. Certain novelty cakes might be sold at a per cake price. Wedding cake servings run from $1.50 up, with fondant costing at lease .50 cents more per serving.
