I love doing cakes, but only really do it for the hobby of it. Just curious as to what you would charge for this one. Its 6,8, & 10". 6 & 10 are choc. w/ buttercream and the 8 is amaretto w/ choc. buttercream. All covered w/ mmf tinted red.
I tried to get pic here but can't. Please look in my photos, it's the red tiered graduation cake. Thanks
I am no expert, and a newbie myself. A girl wanted me to make a 3 tier 6",8",10" covered in fondant. I wasn't sure what to charge so I called some of the local bakeries and priced the cake and the cheapest was $170 and most expensive was $275. It depends on what flavor of cake,filled or not, buttercream or fondant. I would call around bakeries in your area and base your price around there. Turns out I won't be doing mine because the mother of the girl "didn't know cakes were that expensive!" I think she thought I'd do it for free! (she's my neighbor)
you need to sit down and figure it out properly.
how much for the basic ingredients?
how much for the extras - kitchen roll, clingfilm, cocktail sticks? they little bits add up.
how much for fuel - for you trips to the store, for running ytour fridge and oven?
how much for your time? at least minimum wage, probably more.
how much in your area? some areas are cheap, some are blow your mind expensive, and you want to fit in. only compare with places that do the same kind of cakes!
i reckon that serves 74 (wilton) so even at a very cheap $2.50 a serving = $185
