Ok, I did this at cost for a friend, for her Grand daughters Birthday... Im just curious, if I was to charge regularly for it, what would you estimate?
I didnt have my regular round Wilton pans, so had to use the round cake pans you get at the grocery store... so the cake is two 9 inch X 1.5 inch rounds... so in all 9 x 3 inches + Filling. Milk Chocolate cake with Chocolate bavarian cream filling. Frosted in Butter cream, with MMF decorations... Bow is MMF & Gumpaste.
I live in a large metro city area if that makes a difference. Plus Im a beginner, so my cakes are far from perfect.
I'm newish too, so I'm not sure. Just glancing at it though I'd say $35.00?? Heck, maybe thats too little or too much....
Me giving you an estimate is like the blind leading the blind... I really just replied to say that I like the cake alot, it's really cute!
LOL Thanks!
Yeah I have no clue either, cause I just make cakes as gifts right now, and for cost of ingrediants... I need the practice...
Since I don't do fondant, I can't really be helpful in pricing, but just wanted to say that your cakes are NOT "far from perfect"! This is a great cake! I love your daisies.....very uniform, good pointy petals. Don't under-rate yourself! you are very good at this!
I charge $50.00 for a 10" present cake with fillings and fondant accents. I consider that a specialty design.
i'd say 40 ish since it's fondant. check out your local bakeries (not groceries) and just ask what their rate is for a 9 inch fondant cake. obviously yours has more decor, but it will give you a rough estimate of what the market is in your area.
Thanks... I feel like I shouldn't charge similar to cake shops in the area cause they are professional and I am not.... I don't really plan on selling cakes, maybe just to friends and whatever... but I just wanted an idea. It was my first time making fondant daisies, just used a cutter, they were fun and easy. Im a big fan of daisies.
The cake bakery here charges $95.00 for a 10 inch present cake with buttercream frosting and a fondant bow.
Wow $15 for the bow?
I looked at a local cake decorators website... for a basic buttercream cake she charges $25.95 + $5 filling for a 10 inch... So thats $30 for a basic basic buttercream cake....
So that gives me a base... but then the fondant gumpaste etc on top? I dunno...
But thanks so much for all the ideas!
I love CC
