Can’t help w/pricing but I’m guessing the request for ‘cutting cakes’ is what we in the states call a kitchen cake. It usually is a sheet cake depending on how many servings you need it can be any size 12×8; 9×13; 11×15 12×16 or 12×18 cut & served out of the kitchen. They usually are 4" tall (2 layers) filled & iced but only decorated w/borders. That way guests don’t know they didn’t get a piece of ‘the’ (main) cake. Sometimes the bride’s cake is such a design that it can not be made big enough to serve all guests, other times the bride thinks it’s cheaper to go w/kitchen cakes. Some decorators lower the price on these a bit making brides think they are getting a bargain :) As an example say the bride’s cake serves 105 that you price at $5 per serving but she has 200 guests – you make up the # of servings by offering a slightly cheaper ($4 per serving?) undecorated kitchen cake. Other decorators make their ‘kitchen cake’ exactly the same – with all decorations etc – and charge the same per servings price. Hope that helps you understand the difference.
