Hi there! Welcome to CC! icon_smile.gif
It depends on what you are covering it with. You should charge more if you are covering it in Fondant! I am not really all that great yet with pricing... but I will give you a BUMP, so that someone else can let you know. icon_biggrin.gif

It really depends, as the previous poster said, whether it will be buttercream or fondant. How will it be decorated, and what kind of cake will it be? Call around to local bakeries and ask them to price the cake (pretend to be a bride). Prices can vary wildly around the country.

Well I can tell you what my STARTING prices would be, any additional costs would depend on the complexity of decoration, flowers etc:

14, 12 & 8in - buttercream = $540
- fondant = $620

12, 10 & 6in - buttercream = $380
- fondant = $430

Hope that helps a wee bit at least!
