Ok i gotten a call for a customers aunt and she was calling on behalf of her friend whom would like a WEDDING CAKE for DEC 31 to feed 50 people 3 tier cake white and pearl , top two tiers round and bottom square and she can ONLY PAID 100.00 ............. so i told her to ill get back to her . seriously my prices are set who out here would do it for 100.00 at this request I just want to hear everyones opinion on this to me this is some funny thing a 100.00 dollar wedding cake hahhahhhaha laughing in tears lol

3 tiers for 50 people would be awfully small tiers. I would tell her what I could do for $100 and if your prices are more then $2/serving I would send her to WalMart.

lmao my price is 4.25 oer slice with fondant covering i just explain to the customer VERY SIMPLE cake simple flavoring 150.00 anything extra will be more charged on it so im waiting lol thanks

The smallest cakes I'll work with are 6/8/10. So a 6/8 round + 10 square will serve 12/24/50 = 86 servings times my $3.50/serving = $301. Even at a give-away price of $2/serving, she's looking at $175.

What are Hostess cupcakes running these days .... $1.29/for a package? And she wants a custom designed wedding cake for $1?

What would I do? I'd send her to Walmart.

It's perfectly ok to tell someone "You can't have a 3 tier cake to serve 50". I've done it. Now TECHNICALLY you can .... but not if you want me to make it. Because there's a PITA charge for trying to screw around with anything smaller than a 6" cake.

"there's a PITA charge for trying to screw around with anything smaller than a 6" cake"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

@indydebi hahahhah i totally agree , well the customer bought it she will paid for 150 forthe cake , I told her it would the mostl simplist cake ever anything more I would charge her extra so basically its my cake lol. im not gettingthe topper and its opnly 5mins away from my house, its one of those justice of the peace wedding nothing over VERY under budget . PLUS I NEED TO BE A HARDER ASS lol.

Even 3 tier cakes at walmart start at $140. I only charged $102 for my first wedding cake and then I saw wal mart charged. And I was like holy crap I'm cheaper than walmart? Wont make that mistake again!

I'm just curious, what are the sizes of your tiers that you will be making. I'm just having a hard time figuring out 3 tiers with bottom square and the two top round to only serve 50.

And, a 4"6',8" round tiered cake is adorable....teeny cute little things! I love doing these. Serves about 42. My avatar shows the top part of a 4 on a 6.

I have done them 4, 6, 8 but the work aint worth $100. The do look adorable!
