I can’t think of an amount high enough for that dragon cake.
I don’t know, but I know I can’t afford them.
Considering a normal cake can run $85-200, I would say easily $400+ depending on complexity and region.
Rule to find a baseline no matter your business: double your cost of supplies, add what you want to pay yourself either hourly or per job, then add 40 percent for taxes, health insurance, marketing, etc.
Pay yourself well, my friend!
Also, just wanted to add that everything you see is edible. I never put toys on my cakes, so everything had to be made by hand.
Hi all! I used to make cakes for a living (lol because I charged so little) and stopped because it just was so much work. Looking back 13 years later, I realize I was under-charging because I felt badly for customers and doubted my worth. If I were to start this back up today, how much would you expect to pay for a cake like one of mine? I remember pulling all-nighters on these cakes and sleeping the entire weekend after. I think I’d charge maybe $100 for most of them. Crazy times.
Beautiful, definitely $400+.
It really depends on where you’re located! I’d start by looking at other prices around town of bakeries making similar cakes and go from there.
350 and up.
A lot, but most of those are copyrighted property. As a small operation, you can get away with it maybe, but not so much if you advertise it online.
250 dollars, those cakes are so fancy; you need to charge for hard work.
The taste & quality of ingredients would need to equal the appearance. Cakes purchased from Publix bakery range $35 - $65/70.
