How much should I charge for a Character Cake?

Well, if your making a cake from a mix in a Wilton-type pan, and you have all the decorating supplies needed, I'd charge $40, minimum. It would cost you about $10-12 for each cake, provided you had the supplies (special tips, pans) on hand.

$30 isn't a lot of profit, considering the time and talent it takes to produce a good cake. Some people maybe be hesitant to pay $40 for a cake if they're used to getting their cakes at the grocery store. But, as you know, the cakes are worth far more than $40...they're really worth $50-60...but finding people to pay that on a consistent basis may be kind of hard. But, find a good price and stick to it--and have a great time making money from something you love to do!

you should take your time to make sure how a lot the elements for a personality cake often runs you. Then aspect later on. also, the position you stay is a interest because in some parts you could cost extra for a distinctiveness cake. That being suggested, I cost between $40 & $50.

Really detailed and really good cakes around here are about $180 but it depends on how far in advance the order is placed. We always get one with about 2 weeks notice for my son's birthday. They also make little individual cakes for each child (if needed) for about $30 each.

don't see to many of them made around here unless me or my mom makes them. They take a lot of time to do

Figure out your food/supply costs, triple it, and charge that amount.
