re: Charging per serving: which serving size do I use???

Thank you everyone. You really helped me. I have decided to go with set prices for fondant covered cakes (that’s really all i work with right now) and then charge for additional decorations and figures.

Just a question for MsGF: That’s what I was originally thinking of doing… charging by the wedding serving guidline. Let me ask you how you discuss your pricing though. Since you know you will sell your 6" buttercream for $36, do you tell your customers that it is $3.00 per serving and that it how many you get with the 6" cake, or do you just tell them a 6" cake is $36 and not discuss your breakdown of cost per serving? Thanks!
