Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

How much would you say the pirate cake can be retaled for as after making one for my grandson people been asking me but i dont really know what to tell them….help please thank yu x

Hi Maria

You certainly wouldn’t want to under sell your skills, so my best suggestion would be to look

at cakeulator. This is a calculating tool on Cake Baker site which enables you to calculate

The cost of producing a cake for the purposes of charging. Just google the site in and you’ll

it. Don’t forget to put in the hours you have spent and the hourly rate you want to pay yourself.

You have to be totally fair to yourself and not under charge, other wise there will always

be an expectation from clients to get cakes cheaper.

It really depends on your skill level and the amount of detail you add but

Truly Scrumptious sell their pirate ship for £125 if that’s any help!

The cakulator on the Cake Baker site was a great help in this regard thank you

Awww thank you sooo much for everybody’s help…so sorry if I’m late to reply but I was away and just came back….I’m going to quickly look on the baker site as I’m having lots of requested but as you’ve said lots of people expects tesco’s prices or even cheaper 🙁 sometimes I feel to give up the whole thing! ….thank you ever so much for your support xx
