Pricing For Chocolate Transfers On Cake?
Decorating By cakerator Updated 31 Dec 2006 , 7:56pm by cakerator
i just tried chocolate transfers for the first time and they are SO fun!! i definitely want to work with this method in the future.
my question is about pricing. once you charge a base price for a specific sized 2-layer iced in BC, what would you add on as a charge for all of the extra chocolate work?
any advice is so very appreciated.
TIA 
Decorations such as those are usually charge on an hourly basis here, because they are so rarely requested (bakers here have programmed Kopykake decorations into their heads). If it takes you 1 hour to do a chocolate transfer, then you charge the hour's worth of time. What do you think your time is worth?

I have been wondering the same thing! I love doing chocolate transfers, but so far I have only done them on cakes for family - so therefore, no charge. They do take a lot of time, though, and the chocolate isn't cheap. So maybe add an extra $10+ per tier? That gives you a bit of wiggle room if you need to raise the price a bit if you have a LOT of them to do on any one tier. Simple designs could maybe be a little less, but most designs aren't simple. By the way - I LOVE your cheetah chocolate transfer! That is so cool! Your leaves and everything are just perfect!
thank you kerririchards i had to do this cake for a friend's daughter's b-day and i was dreading it for weeks... i mean DREADING it. cheetahs aren't the first thing that comes to mind when doing a 7 yr old girls birthday cake. LOL so, i decided last minute to try out the chocolate transfer technique from the whimsical bakehouse book. it was so fun!! so, it got me thinking if in the future i were to charge for a cake with this technique used how much could i charge.
thank you all for your input.
