Hi,
I asked this before no one answered me icon_cry.gif
Can someone help me with pricing sheet cakes?
Approximately how much do you charge for a 2 x Half sheet (12 x 18 x2") cakes filled and covered with buttercream and with fondant decorations? thumbs_up.gif

Whatever is your usual price for bc with fondant embellishments times the number of servings ordered. I ALWAYS use the Wilton chart because it will make you more money. My bc with fondant embellishment price is $2.75 per serving.

For simple sheet cakes I do $1 a serving but I live in a very small town and am told I undercharge.
