I did this hungry caterpillar cake for a friend's daughter's 1st bday. I undercharged her for it, partially because I needed the experience with gumpaste and partially because she's my good friend.
Curious though...what would you charge for this cake? The cake was WASC, 2 layers each torted, filling alternated between buttercream and cookie cream filling.

Thanks!
Okay, I'm gonna play the price is right cake game; Here goes!
I would put it in the price range of $50-$70.
I think a lot depends on the area where you are and the market.
Don't sell yourself short. I only see 2 of your cakes here, but I believe you have enough experience. The Caterpillar cake is awesome!
How big is the cake?
I am working pricing right now too (someday I will actually feel comfortable to move forward on selling) and I think $50-70 is too low for that cake. You can go to Walmart and spend $35-40 for a cake that doesn't even touch yours.
I'd sell that for $75-$100 at least, if not $125.
Do yourself a favor and get a pricing matrix (there are several here for you to use) and input your information. I think you'll be surprised at how much you should be charging.
I downloaded a few of the matrices here and they are quite complicated so i rigged up my own but they provided valuable information as to how and what I charge for.
I would charge $70.00 for it because of the figurines.
I agree with $100, that is an awesome cake. I wouldn't charge any less than $3.50 per serving for that cake.
Am I missing something here? I don't see a size of the cake anywhere. There is a BIG difference depending on the size. If that's a 6" I would charge $80-$90, if it were a 10", we're talking $160-$170
I wouldn't charge any less than $3.50 per serving for that cake.
I'd start at $3 per person, and add in the details.
