Hi, all ~

I am having trouble pricing out a couple cakes I have this weekend. I'm doing a 12" square, 1-layer yellow cake, bc, and a dora fbct, plus some fondant accents. What do you all think? Also, I'm doing a 10" round, 2-layer, chocolate cake with bc, and a large fbct. Any ideas on both?

thanks!
Julie

I would charge $45.00 for the 12 inch and at least $30.00 or $35.00 for the 10 inch.

I think that $45 seems a bit high for a single layer cake, especially in the midwest... Maybe $30 for the 12" square, and $35 for the layer cake.

Just my humble opinion! Although you have beautiful cakes, so don't cheat yourself!!! icon_smile.gif

I agree with lindsaycakes! I usually knock $5 - $7 off if I'm not torting/filling.
