I made this cake for my husband and have had many people asking me how much it would cost for them to get...what do you think?? the center is 9 inch cakes stacked up and the shoulder's are one layer of a 9 inch cake cut in fourths... thanks in advance! lol. [and sorry its so blurry, I only had my phone with me at the bbq]

I never try to figure out prices for another decorator, but I've got to tell you, that's one awesome piece of art!!

However much it cost you in ingredients, + the rough cost of utilities (gas, power etc) + either your $/serve or your hourly wage= what you should charge for that cake

I agree w/Indydebi! Great job!

One and a half 9" cakes is ~35 servings. At $6 per serving (a very conservative estimate for art of this caliber), the base price comes to about $210. Then add a premium of $50 because this is a carved cake and $25 for fondant details and you're at $285.

Of course, depending on your location this price might have you swamped with orders or people might get a bit of sticker shock.

SO SORRY it was 3:08 in the morning here, not 8:08 as it says on my post. It was Kansaslaura who posted that. Had been commenting on some of indydebi's posts. I should have gone to bed. LOL

That's ok. Laura and I usually agree on pretty much everything anyway.

So my comment is......

I have not been on for awhile, but would love to see a picture of this amazing and awesome cake. What category do I look in and could I have the decorator's name so I would know the cake? Thanks. YOu guys are great.

What a very cool cake!!! I LOVE IT!! Great Job!!

Can someone tell me where I can find this cake? I am only asking again because this thing said I would get no more notifications until I visited the site again. So here I am .

Thank you all for the kind words!! I still have no clue how to price the cake but will have to decide soon! I cant wait to try it again and make it even better than the first time!

hollys_hobby, Thanks for answering me about where to find the awesome cake.


Olimom, I think, also, no less than 250 dollars. If they want a cake like that then they can pay the price. People, usually have no clue as to how long it takes to put together a cake of that sort and how much money it takes to cover something like that in fondant. You did fantastic!!! If you just want to do the cake again and you want to charge less than that is up to you. but you know I think it is way past time for people to realize that this is an art too and just because you can eat it doesn't give it less value. It should give it more value..
