First off, thanks to everyone who replied to my other post about how much to charge for the wedding cake I've been asked to bake. Now, I've just figured out her ceremony is about 40 miles away from me. How do I include that in the price? I'm on the fence whether to charge $2.50 or $3.00 per slice for the cake too (BC, three or four layer, feeds 100, and remember it's only my second wedding cake), so maybe I should just say $3.00/slice an let the shipping be included with that???

TIA!!!

I wouldn't add the delivery charge into the cost of the cake. I would list it out seperately. I would want to keep the price of the wedding cake per slice, this way you don't have to try to figure out the price/slice on every wedding cake you do (if you add the delivery charge in) you'll have the basis for your price/slice.

If I remember correctly mileage is 33cents per mile. Plus your hourly rate (this is for most businesses) Just remember that per/mile helps pay your gas and any maintenence on your car, then your hourly rate is paying you for your time.

I would charge delivery and set up separatly. I currently have listed $20 for the first 10 miles and $1 per mile after that. Hope that helps.
