Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hello Paul,

How much would you charge for this cake? I am starting up my cake business and want to offer the valentine cake box as a special promotion.

A 6″ round serves 14 people. I was thinking of charging $60 due to the detail of the cake.

Your thoughts???

Hi divine22

David has an excellent blog on pricing cakes with confidence, you can read it here:

If you scroll right down to the teddy picture, read the part which discusses solution. It would also be helpful if you compare some prices in your own location to remain competitive.
When you’re pricing up your ingredients don’t forget to include the cost of boards, boxes, ribbons etc.
I hope the blog information helps.

Thank you for the quick response.
