re: Special Cakes...not so special budgets!

Let me start by saying that I’m just a hobby baker, BUT I’ve read that one of the simplest ways to figure out the amount to charge would be to literally add up the cost of every single ingredient that you would use including the board, colors and even parchment paper. Once you have that sum, multiply it by 3. That would give you an easy way to figure out what to charge. Don’t forget to add extra for the stylish bow! If anyone tells you a specific price it might not be relevant for you. Every area of the world has different prices for cakes as for everything else. Also a decorator who has an established name and many years of experience could definitely charge more than someone just starting out. See what you get when you try adding up ALL of your costs and multiply by 3.
