I made this cake for a wedding today and I'm charging them $85. It's a 6, 8 and 10" double layer chocolate cakes with buttercream frosting and royal icing flowers... am I overcharging??? I just think it's such a simple plain looking cake that I'm afraid I'm asking too much...
It's a very beautiful cake! I think you should be asking for a lot more.
I've never sold a wedding cake, but you are charging WAAAAAAY too little. I actually gasped when I saw your cake - it's gorgeous, not to mention big. We all know how much work goes into even a simple-looking cake. Getting buttercream nice and smooth for a simple look is HARD. You need to raise your prices - you're worth more than that!!!
Very pretty cake! Icing looks SO smooth!! Great job!
Ok, $85??? They got a deal and I mean a DEAL. I think they stole this cake from you.
Pricing generally depends on your area. But, one way to figure it up is your ingredients x 2 or 2.5; and then you have to figure in like $7 per hr of your labor. I think thats the right way to figure it up.
that is definately a lovely cake and you are under charging. my wedding cake was over $200 and it was no desigh at all just simple ribbon trimming it and topped with flowers i provided. I definately would hane charged more for a beautiful cAKE like yours. 
i agree with every one else you are charging way too little for this gorgeous cake.
give your self some credit and get what you deserve which is way more than $85.00.....

I agree! You needed to charge way more than that for labor alone. You are an artist and your creations are one of a kind and are worth not only all of the ingredients (times about 2), but especially your labor. If I was the bride I would feel really bad about giving you only $85 for that!!!
very pretty. I think you did charge waaay under what you could have charged. When I was reading your description I thought maybe the cake would be plain, but this cake is really pretty. I won't even attempt tiered cakes--course I am in the "let's do the car cake for ds's birthday"--very novice here.
Like everyone else, I think you way undercharged and gave them a deal. However, everyone can use a deal sometimes and since you've given them such a great deal I'm sure they'll rave about what a nice person you are and what good work you do. We all know that good word of mouth is a cake decorators best friend. So, yes, you undercharged but don't stress about it because you'll probably reap great benefits for it!! Good work!
You might not get some cake orders because of your prices but oh well. I learned that this week. If they don't want to pay your prices then let them go to Walmart right Mac?! 
Charge more! Your worth it!! Your talent, your time, the ingredients... is MORE then worth it!!
