Smash Cake - Page 2

OH wow!! Hahaha....I didn't even notice it was for a 2 year old.   Hey..........everything is relative....when you have a gazillion dollars...$225 is pocked change.   Very, very cute cake!!!  Congrats on the order!   You must have been a very happy camper.   Oh...btw...what did the main cake look like?   

If the clients order a cake for the party I offer a 3" one layer cake at no charge.  Just butter cream and the number on the top of the smash cake.  If they request any more details/decoration-that I charge for.

A close friend did smash cakes every year for her daughters until they were about 13 or so. They were sheet cakes and they'd smash it in the face of the birthday person in the backyard (not hard), so i guess I never even thought about there being an issue that the cake was for a two year old.

They only ordered the smash cake. I did do the first birthday cake which was close to the same price, but not a sculpted cake. it was a knock off of one of Anne Heap's designs with a circus lion on top. I think for the second birthday they just had a family dinner.

I do something similar  - a 2 layer three inch buttercream with a big one for $15

I would charge $45 for a 'smash cake' decorated like that one. I normally do the giant cupcake smash cakes for $35, but with a chocolate bottom it's a bit more. 

for my jumbo cupckaes we start at $45, that one I would have put at about $60-$70 (depending on how nice the customer was LOL)
