I made a wedding cake this past weekend for a friend. I gave her a price and she ran with it. I have never charged for a wedding cake so I had know idea where to start. I think the local bakery's around here are crazy. So I would never compare my prices to theres. The whole thing took forever. Welll the roses did. I charged $600.00. Was this right? There is a 16in, 14in, and six 8in cakes. All the flowers are gumpaste. And the wohole cake is coverd in satin ice fondant.
I can't help you with a price because I only do cakes for friends and family and avoid wedding cakes if I can. You may want to include the sizes of the cakes you made and/or the serving amounts since that is a big part of the pricing. Are those fondant/gumpaste roses? Cake covered in Fondant?
Why can't you charge the same as the bakeries around your area if you're doing the same type of work?
I would never compare my prices to the local bakeries either. I charge way more. I don't and won't do assembly-line cakes.
I can't see the pic, but at 245 servings I would have charged minimum $2700, not including the roses. But like I said, I can't see the pic, so I'm not sure how much extra I would charge for the decorations.
that cake looks amazing! I hope that the price was right because it's gorgeous!
are those cakes the large tier is "standing" on? it's really pretty! excellent job.
I can't say for price, sorry....but I DO know beauty and skill, and this cake is evidence of both!! Wow!! I love the design of the smaller cakes being the pedestal for the tiers - really nice idea!! ![]()
