I need help . I made this cake last weekend and family and friend have called all week asking what this cake would cost. So and so wants to know I showed them a picture.
I have know ideal. I iced it in buttercream and then put the fondant on . but there's so much fondant would you price it as fondant cake?
THe cake sizes are 7 inch and 10 inch. In the wilton book there wasn't a serving for 7 inch so I took 6 severing off and got 18 for the 7 and 38 for the 10 inch total of 56 .
But even at that I still have the base to add in . I can ask my daughter the price of the toys.
If you can help in pricing this let me know.
It's the circus cake in my photos. I'm sorry I don't know how to put it on .
dolittle, fondant cakes start at $3.00 per serving in some areas, as little as $2.50. Your cakes are seriously cute and I would definately not undersell myself if I were you. I mean SERIOUSLY cute!!!
yes, price as fondant.
so 56 servings at a MINIMUM of $2/serving = $112 plus cost of toys $12 (at amazon.com) = $124.
so at least $125 and up to $150 or more
do not undersell yourself...those cakes are a ton of work because of all the color and detail!
Add up the cost of all your ingredients and multiply times 3. That should give you around about cost to charge. Take off alittle if you want or charge more if you need to deliver it.
Thanks for the nice comments! I have added it at 2.50 and it is 140.00 I added 10.00 for the base covered in fondant and trim.So that is 150.00 with out toys. I know that one set was around 12.00 or 13.00. But there is the car on top it has to be at least 10.00. So what if I round it off to 175.00. I don't think anyone will want me to do it for that but I think they just want to know what it would cost.What do you think?
I agree with the 125$. don't undersell yourself. that's something I've learned from CC members. we work hard, it's not grocery cakes!!!
jac1105 I will look into the cost of the inredients to I just didn't keep any thing with prices . So I'll look when I go. And add that up and see what that comes to .Thanks
THanks Doug for adding it up also.
tell them $150 with out the toys...they supply toys.
that way have a customizeable cake
OMG!!!! I just looked at your cake and it is totally awesome. Great job. $150.00 absolutely.
Thanks Doug I will . We live where you don't see very many cakes like this.Even our bakeries don't carry them they carry cakes like the store.I think people are just curious. People have ask in the past when I make cakes. I just make for family and a few friend. I don't have the time I work till 1:00 most days and then pick up my grandson so my daughter can go to work.THanks for your help!
