How much to charge for a cake topper?

Call a competitor and see what they’d charge.

Hi Crystal,I don’t sell my toppers sans the cake for now but I am thinking that if I do, I would probably charge it this way; start with what I would charge for a cake with the same topper. From there, take out an x amount for what I would charge for just the cake. For me, the costlier part of my price goes to the customised design, not the cost cake itself (ingredients and such) so the x amount will not be substantial.

Hope it helps.

Thank you both! I did check out etsy, but I’m still a little clueless as to what my “talent” (for lack of a better word) is worth. I’m not nearly as amazing as some of the other girls here (yeah, I share an island with Fondant Flinger and Conceptual Confections…I’m sure that’ll give you an idea, lol). But, what she wants is very simple and I don’t think it’ll take me a great deal of time or energy…
