Ok, so I made this cake for my husbands office party this weekend and two different people told me they wanted to order it for Thanksgiving. I need pricing help. It's a 9" and a 10" with buttercream and MMF leaves and MMF basket.

Thanks guys!

1st of all...ADORABLE!!! I love it. I would charge $50 or so at least. I'm probably not the besst one to ask, though. I just ordered Cake Boss and I hope it helps me with my pricing questions.

It's gorgeous, I see why you have people wanting one for their own! I'd say in the ballpark of $4 - $5/serving and possibly an additional charge for the leaves.

That's 30-ish servings.. with all of the detailing I'd say no less than $100.00.. and that is barebones minimum..

I'd charge at least $175 for that.

I agree that you should charge more than $50. In the Wilton Yearbook, a party 9" cake serves 24 & a party 10" cake serves 28 for a total of 52 people. To take into consideration all of the decorative work you did, I would suggest at least $5 per serving. That works out to be $260. Now, if you did a 4" high cake for each tier, then it would double.

I just realized that I already doubled it. That $260 quote would be for 4" tiers. If you only did 2" tiers, then halve this, or $130.

That's so pretty! I would charge as much as you think they would pay. $250+ doesn't seem at all unreasonable for such nice work. You could do the old. "Well, I normally charge $350 for this cake, but since you work with my husband I'll do it for _____. " Everyone like to feel like they are getting a discount.

I would definitely charge at least $100 for that beautiful cake! It takes a lot of work and there are quite a few servings too!
