I want to start a cake decorating business over the summer, but I’m not sure how I would price them. This one went for around $70 in a school auction, but I’m not sure how well it would do in an actual market. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Depending on the cake, type of frosting and if you did any fillings would vary for sure. Easily $100 for base price, knowing what goes into making cakes..

Cost of supplies times two, then 20% over that just for your effort. That is beautiful work!
Ex: supplies- $50 cake- $120

$100 even though it should be more

How much did they materials cost and how much time did it take. That will help us to price the cake. You don’t want to be losing money.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw this cake going for $100…it takes skill to pull this off so well.

If you are asking for a priced based on it’s predecessor’s painting,lol. No comment. I would say: charge normal price for labor and materials. No extra.

I live in the DC area and this is something I would easily expect to pay $150-300 for depending on flavors – just saying ❤️

I would charge what it cost me to make it + profit.
So I’d charge the cost of ingredients (don’t forget things like cake boxes and such) + operating cost + my hourly wage + profit.

I’d pay $40 that looks dope

This cake could never ever equal a 5 star french patisserie… Which is under 60 bucks

Home baker or established business? I used to bake for friends and family only, and would charge 25 dollars for a 6” round filled and frosted. I was not an established business, but if you are an established business prices would need to be higher so probably 40 for a 6”
