I have been asked to make a Superbowl cake. No biggie; 9 X 15 chocolate, with the whole cake covered in grass(using grass tip) with yard markers. and endzones. (I will probaly use wite or yellow butter creme for those) She wants the center with the Steelers (having a hard time with this, they just beat out Ravens. LOL lOL) logo, that I will make from gumpaste/fondant mix. With all of the big box stores selling cakes, (I dont know their prices, and they wouldnt be as detailed as mine, what do I charge her. She is calling this afternoon is $50.00 too much?

9x15 is an unusual size to me. Is that two layers?

I'm imagining 30 servings for a one layer @ $2.50 per is about $75 if my math is right, or $2 per is sixty bucks.

60 servings for a two layer @ $2.50 per is $150 if my math is right or $2 per is $120.

Then the emblem should be about ten dollars give or take. The grass and all I would consider to be included in the original price.

So I think fifty dollars is low balling it considerably.

Best wishes to you though, pricing sure isn't easy is it.

Ok, thanks, she is calling me with the count later so i will base it in that. Thanks again.

Sorry 11 X 15

Well you base the count on the size of cake. If it's an 11x15 that's a certain amount of servings that you determine and then price accordingly.

She might want to cut it in half and serve it to two teenage boys. Agh, no.

So all my suggestions go up because an 11x15 serves more than I quoted for.

Sorry you asked yet??

Oh no! Im still very new at the pricing part. I made an amazing cake(in my photos) for a bridal shower. Its the one wit the shoe on top. That cake took me 15 hours to make all of the decorations. Thats making templated painting and putting togethr. I nowI WAY WAY uderpriced my self on that cake. When It comes to something that takes up so much of your time how do you take that into account?

I trid o download your price info, but im not very computer savy and am still figuring out how to download it.
