I am new to charging people for my cakes. I got an order from my landlord for a birthday cake for his mom, who is 83 and in the last stages of Altimizers.. how ever its spelled. He was having a fund raiser for her cause. So, he told me a cake for 100 people. The cake I made is below, covered in fondant and the side is 14, 10 , 8. filled with buttercream , almond butter cream and raspberry buttercream. What does this serve and what is a fair price?.... I am so buying that cakeboss!!!
I don't know what to charge, but you cake is absolutely beautiful!

As for price, every area is different, you need to figure out the rate in your area and price accordingly...
I charge $3.00 for fondant and $2.50 for buttercream in my area, which is the mid range (more experienced, longer in business can charge more -- but I know I'm more talented than some local homebakers who's sites I've seen) so if it were 110 servings, they be paying $330 for fondant, and $275 for buttercream.
very pretty cake, btw
Thanks guys... I am so new to "charging..".. lol I charged him 140 for the cake... I guess its ok since he is my landlord.. and it was a fundraiser for his mom. I wish I would have said 240 now..lol.. I have to go around my area and see.. Its hard here in Brooklyn, NY... goes from chepo to extravagant in the blink of an eye... neighborhood to neighborhood..
