I made this cake for a friend for her niece's bridal shower and didn't charge her. Some of her family asked what a cake like that would go for. I thought I would put it out here for opinions.

What would you charge for a cake like this?

It's a wonder mold cake with doll pick, yellow cake with buttercream icing. Underneath is a 12" round cake, 3 layers (alternating devil's food and yelow) with whipped chocolate ganache filling and bc icing. There is a cake board and dowels between the doll and the 12" round.

I'm in New York, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Beautiful cake!

I'd price it at $75.00 or so, depending on your clientele.

Nice!

can't help with the pricing, but---

great cake

At least $80. It is really pretty.

This is a beautiful cake. Pricing probably depends on where you are located. However I would charge at least $65.00 for this type of cake. You have to factor in your supplies, time and utilities. Hope this helps.

Well, like me, you are in a large city, where things are more expensive and prices are higher. I personally would not take less than $90 for that amount of cake - that's a good 40-45 servings!

I think $75. This is a very unique cake and it is beautiful...

Great Cake! $65 to $75 would be the great price. But I don't know about New York status.

I just love this cake. Amazing job.

Thanks

In Puerto Rico the price for this cake probably will be $75.00.

I would say $80. Doll cake alone would be about $35 and you did an three layer 12" cake with differant layers. Two layer cake would be for a basice $40+.

I hope that helps.

look at the price from a texas bakery to give you an idea.

I would charge $60. but i don't know anything about pricing. (see post above)

Your cake is beautiful!

It is a beautiful cake!! I would charge $75-$80. I think that is a reasonable price.

I'd say an absolute minimum of $65.

An established cake decorator = $75
Someone starting out and trying to drum up business = $55 - $60

Beautiful job!

Cant help with the price. Just wanted to say that your cake looks lovely!

for me, that would go for $95 ish depending on flavours and fillings...

12 inch and doll cake, there's plenty of servings...and you baked 2 flavours...

I think, for all the cake, filling and extremely lovely work it would be $80ish.
Good Luck ~ I hope you will get orders, you should, beautiful cake!!!

I had to look up serving sizes to get an idea. Wilton says a 12 inch is 40 party size servings so the 12 inch alone should be $80. That's only $2 a serving and in New York you probably couldn't find a cake that cheap. You did a great job on the doll and I think it's easily a $40 minimum on the doll. So, $120 MINIMUM for the whole thing. We can see that the cake looks great, so assuming it tastes great, it's definatley worth that and in New York you could probably charge quite a bit more.

I do very few cakes for $ for other people, but each time I do I raise my prices LOL. I've just decided that my time is well worth a minimum of $2 a serving and if people don't want to pay it they can go elsewhere. But, I'm not looking to drum up business either. I have four little kids and a cake here and there keeps me happy, anything more is too much stress for me.

Very pretty. Great job. What recipe did you use for the whipped ganache?
