ASo this past week I was asked if I can make this cake [ATTACHMENT=1426]image.jpg (61k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT] For a 100 ppl the only thing that I would not do is the pony on top and the name so I gave him an estimate price of $185 for the cake and they said that it was too much. I don't think it's a bad price I actually think I could of gone higher for a cake that feed 100 people. So what do you guys think
AYes that's the same thing I thought because I have been charging way low for cakes that I have not been making a profit from cakes so today I am going to write down all my spends and then my hourly pay so I can actually make money from cakes thanks norasmom :0)
ADon't forget to include your overhead costs like cottage food license fees, insurance, advertising, etc.

AWay too low...i didn't even look at the picture and I can tell you that for 100 servings i'd be starting at around $450.
