How much would you charge for this cake? I was thinking $60 (my sister thinks I am crazy)
I was wondering how much do you charge for fondant and buttercream cakes? Do you use wilton cake slicing guide and charge $2.50 and up per slice.
Help, my sister thinks I am losing money!
I checked out your cake, nice job. I charge $2.00 a serving for wedding cakes. for sheet cakes I have set prices of $25.00, $30.00 and $35.00. I generally only do the sheets in buttercream, sometimes I use fondant accents. I haven't had a request for a fondant covered sheet cake. You are going to get a wide range of prices. but my advice is charge what you think is right.

The cake is 6" round and 1/4 sheet cake both covered in Fondant.
My minimum price per serving for fondant it is $3.50, I also sometimes charge extra for figures (depending on the decor for the rest of the cake), so my price would be around $125 (I think that's a single layer sheet cake, right?).

Your sister is right.
I think this is a very good marker for basic decorated cake.
Then add on for elaborate decor, fondant covered, special recipes, handmade flowers, tier cakes with dowell, sculptures etc.
According to Wilton cake guide a 6" x3 rounds serves 12 and 9 x 13 serves 45. A total of 57 servings x $3.50 (fondant - estimate) = 199.50 plus extra for the fondant figure. Woooow, Thats a lot of money.
