This is my most recent cake and was curious what I should have charged for it. It was for a friend so even though I only covered cost I am thrilled her grand-daughter had an amazing 1st cake. It is a double 12 inch and double 8 inch with buttercream icing and fondant accents. I can't get it to upload but it is in my photos. Thanks for you input.

Which one is it, sweetie? I looked at all your photos but could not determine which one we're talking about!

If its the castle it looks like it serves about 60 according to the Wilton party chart, and depending on your area I'd say about $3/serving so $180.

I am assuming you are talking about your castle cake? I think a lot of pricing depends on where you live. I would probably charge $50 -$60 in my area - but others would say that is way to low. A good way to gage it is to call around to bakeries where you live and see what they charge. I charge more than bakeries here because mine is homemade, fresh, and custom made...but some folks here still have heartache over my prices....oh well let them go to walmart then! oh wait....we don't have a walmart bakery icon_smile.gif
