Hi I just wanted to get an idea of what I should be charging since this is my first paying wedding cake....she choose "The Glow Endures" from wilton's romantic wedding cakes. She doesn't need all that it is orignally set up for she only needs about 200 servings. the set up I worked out is basically 1(12"),2(10"), 2(8") and it will look pretty much the same.

I was thinking of charging about 2 dollars a slice do you think this is fair am i under charging or over charging?

Your location will greatly affect what you can charge for a cake, as well as your experience (your cakes are lovely - this won't be a problem!), and what you put into the cake (i.e. some flavours are more expensive, scratch cakes cost more, fondant & IMBC cost more than crusting BC... etc)

This is pretty nifty. It is very helpful in figuring out exact costs for things and what your time is worth!
