I wouldn't put it quite that way - I would charge more simply because I am always "working out deals" and giving discounts to the majority of my clients for varoius reasons, so if I knew someone was willing to pay whatever I asked, I would simply charge FULL PRICE, not overcharge them. That does not seem unethical to me. People are always coming to me and asking how I can do a great cake for them on a tight budget, and I try to work with them within reason (scaling down the design or the size a bit so I can do it for less). So it would be nice for once to be able to say, unflinchingly, the price is X dollars and feel really confident that they can manage that. Or to be able to really go all out with a design idea and not have to scale it back for budget reasons.
When I was really new to this, I once lost a cake order because I charged too little. The client thought I must not be as good as my competitor, so she went with them instead. Lesson learned!

budget for that is around $ 500 - 550. You can consider yourself lucky if you get one wedding cake a month. It's not so much a question of budget, people just don't need massive cakes. So it would be nice to have the possibility of designing and making something without being always limited by servings number as these 'new rich' don't mind having 50 servings left at all, just want a good looking and great tasting cake.
