Usually I charge $2/serving for buttercream iced and $3/serving for fondant iced. Your cake sounds like it should serve about 38 going by earlenescakes.com wedding cake servings. So I would charge around $76. But that's me and my area.

Everyone charges differently because we all have different food cost. All my three tiered cakes start @ $84.00. Aan that is a 8",6" and 4".

Can you figure out your cost for ingredients? I usually multiply that amount by 2.5 or 3 times to get the cost of the cake.

I just viewed your picture of your cake, firstly let me say it is so lovely I think you could charge anywhere from $50-$80 depending on your clients see if it a friend I charge less however that is your call it looks like you put allot of time into that cake the flowers are lovely, good luck with your decission
