But how do you figure out pricing? I was talking to DH the other day about making my friend a red velvet cheese cake... like the cheesecake factory’s...and he asked me hypothetically how much I would charge for it. Told him I didn’t know and would have to “research” (read play on my cake site lol) and ask the wonderful cake gods how they go about doing it- ESPECIALLY  I’m home bakers...

I know a lot of you charge per slice. But do you charge for ingredients individually or is that just factored into the price per slice? And if you do charge per ingredient do you charge for the ones you already have? Do you factor in labor-as in baking decorating etc.? Do you add a separate delivery charge? (I won’t have one she wants to do it at my house-this time). Also do you do discounts for friends/families?

again just kinda curious how you all do it. TIA
