I have been asked to quote this cake. It is for 100-125 people and will be white with buttercream icing and fondant and the flowers. I am thinking I will only need the three tiers and not the cakes around the tiered cake! This is alot of fondant and I make my own. I have no idea what to charge for the flowers. I am in Indiana. Thanks for your help[/url]

can't see the picture!

I googled "Romantic Ripples Cake". Found it here:
http://www.wilton.com/idea/Romantic-Ripples-Cake

Given my pricing scheme, I'd charge around $650 for this cake. Just the three tiers. This wouldn't include the topper figurine or delivery/setup.

Good luck!

Thank you for getting back with me Baked Alaska! I guess my question would be what is your pricing if you don't mind me asking. I make my own buttercream marshmallow fondant and use cake mixes for cake at $1.25 a cake mix.

I am thinking Indiana pricing would be a little less than Alaska!

Any thoughts?

I would go with $5/piece (at least for my area). That's alot of flowers. If it were just fondant and few flowers, I'd probably go in at $4/piece. So that would be $500-$625. That doesn't include the topper or delivery.

That cake serves 188, based on wilton's servings, with just the 3 tiers. 8, 12, 16in cakes, based on the instructions. At $4 a serving that would be $752, not including the topper or delivery.

I would do a 14, 10 & 8 serving 120. Using my pricing structure (and I am in Minnesota) Fondant, basic (non-upgraded) cake flavor and buttercream filling would be $5.00 p/serving plus 60 hand created (very small) roses, leaves and vines @ $95.00 plus $15 supports and bases for a quoted total of $710.00. This would not include delivery and setup or the topper.

What generally is the delivery and setup fee? I normally don't charge for this but if I had some idea that would be great.
