So I’ve recently got my first ever cake order from someone other than close friends and family. They asked for a 4 layered 8in strawberry cake with strawberry filling. She sent me inspo pics for a strawberry shortcake theme (pictured below) I just don’t know how much to charge her since I usually sell my cakes pretty low to my friends and family. I was thinking $100 since supplies/ ingredients alone will cost me about $65, is $100 to high? I also added cakes I’ve recently done just so yall can see my work and base it off my skill as well.

I think 100 is totally reasonable if not a little low, but that will also depend on your area. An 100$ cake in LA is not the same as an 100$ cake in rural Alabama.
I don’t know anything about cakes or what they cost but I would expect to pay more than $100 for a cake like the inspo pic.
You are extremely talented btw
I’ve paid more for cakes the same size and design, so $100 is a steal!
I think that would be more like a 150 dollar cake. Your work os beautiful🤍🤍
For these cakes?
Usually up to 200€.
Depends on the quality of your ingredients, your time and experience though.
OMG! It’s gorgeous!!! I’d happily pay $100.
I’ve paid much more for cakes that weren’t even that ballpark.
Too low! These are amazIng!
Definitely, just make sure you give a quote in writing and get a deposit that covers your ingredients. If you’ve only made cakes for friends and family, the person requesting the cake may not realize how expensive it is going to be
I’d do $120
$100 should be the low end of the range IMO, especially if you’re in the DFW region. These are outstanding.
Yep, reasonable! Gorgeous cakes.
As someone who baked and sold cakes for years.. $100 is way too low for your talent on cakes. Up your prices!
