How much depends on your price per serving, which is based off how much you spend making the cake, the time you put into it, and so on. icon_smile.gif

There are several different serving charts. The two most popular ones are Wilton's and Earlene's. (You can google them). I personally like Earlene's; (It's a little bigger than Wilton's and I think a little more realistic) According to her an 8 inch round cake serves 15. What you want to charge per serving is your choice. I charge $2.50 per serving, which is really low to most people; but I'm just starting out and happy to turn a profit. Hope that helps. icon_biggrin.gif

The standard serving for cakes is generally accepted at 1"x2"x4".

A 8" cake serves 24.

$50.24 for buttercream

$75.36 for fondant
