New To Selling Cakes: What Should I Have Charged
Decorating By peachofcake Updated 7 Mar 2011 , 2:26am by peachofcake
I haven't sold many cakes and am wondering what I should have charged for this cake.
It sculpted all the characters. It was a 6 and a 9 inch square. Vanilla with ganache filling and WASC with fresh strawberries and IMBC.
If you were to make something similar what would you charge?

Where I live in Ohio rural so can't get as much At the lowest would be 100-125 with the characters, and the fillings.
Its very cute! You probably could have charged around $4/serving for the cake depending on your area.
Let's see that's 50 servings of cake. fondant, so $4 per = $200.
Figures, at least $10 each, so plus $40, plus $10 equipment. Delivery? Maybe not, since it's small. $250 plus delivery.
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping I didn't charge too much, but also wanted it to be worth my time. I was right around where you were saying. I charged $100. But she could only do $50 cash and then $50 trade for her husbands labor in our yard. I wanted $3 min. a serving. I got just a little under that.

I don't think it serves 50 does it? The tiers looked 2 1/2-3" tall, so I thought maybe it would serve less.... I was thinking it served maybe 40? So about $200 plus delivery.... *shrug*
Either way, my minimum order is $200 anyway!
It really is a cute cake.
It was only 3 inch tiers. Great eye for that. I would have never known that by just seeing a picture.
