Hi there! I have been asked to decorate cakes for a local bakery. (Small town, new business). The owner will be providing icing, pastry bags, and obviously making the cake. So all I have to bring are my supplies & myself. I am unsure how much to charge her. Should I ask for a certain percentage of a cake or a flat hourly fee or per cake? I can't decide. 

 

I appreciate any and all input. 

 

Thanks!

From your description it sounds like you are classified as an employee not a self-employed contractor. So you probably need to negotiate an hourly wage.
