My prices start at $0.75/inch.  So a 2" round cookie would start at $1.50/cookie, a 3" round cookie would start at $2.25/cookie.  The design could make the price go up depending on the complexity.

I bake any left over batter I have (even it is only for a 5" round), allow the cake to completely cool, slice the cake into large bit size pieces and then freeze.  This method has worked great for me to years.  Any...

If you want to price per cake, I think FromScratchSF had an excellent suggestion on how to handle the price/servings issue.

I don't get mad about the head count pricing, but I don't think it is unfair.  A bride doesn't get her RSVP's back until 2-3 weeks before the wedding.  And even then, there are those guests that change their mind last minute...

I made a stained glass window cake by using gel colors and piping gel. It only takes a tiny amount of gel color to color piping gel, so there is no chance of teeth/hands being discolored.  Also, the end effect looks just like...

I don't give the top tier away either.  I ask the couple how many servings they need (based on guest count) and then I ask if they want to save the top tier or not.  Either way they pay for the severings.   For an...
