Posting prices on your website??
I'm revising my pricing since i'm still charging the same as when i first started doing cakes, and now i've got some experience under my belt. I am wondering how many of you post your prices on your website? Also, i'm curious as to what everyone's base price is for carved/3D cakes and wedding cakes. I know it depends on the area, etc. I"m trying to stay within the bakeries around me, but there's only one store front with their prices published, and they don't do a lot of the same things that I do (ex. carved cakes and cookies) they're mostly small party cakes and sheet cakes.
Thanks!

Hi Jennifer! I live in Mt. Juliet, TN, so it looks like we're pretty close to being neighbors...
I know what you mean about competing with Nashville prices. Mt. Juliet is still pretty rural, but it's really developing now and we could almost be considered a suburb of Nashville, since we're so close to the Davidson Co. line.
I like your site, too. I'm working on mine right now and having my husband set up the domain and such this weekend. I'm excited to finally get it up and going!
Good to see another Tennessean on here!

Renay, sorry it took so long to get back to you, I couldn't remember which forum i had seen this. How did ya'll fair the flood? I hated seeing the Opry hotel, bass pro, Grand Ole Opry flooded. I just love going & browesing the hotel. some people just dont understand how you can go & get lost for a good 4 hours. Its diffently not a place you can describe to people they have to see it for them selves. Well we werent too bad where I live at. downtown clarksville got the worst of it & we are about 20 miles out of town. but a friend of mine 6 miles down the road got completly cut off by the cumberland, at least she sits very high on a hill, she can always see the cumberland, its usually about 1/2 a mile from her house, during the highest it was probably about 75 yards

I just have a blogspot and not a website and I do not have my prices on it. Mainly because each cake is different. I have a 5 page handout that I give my brides when we meet for a consultation. It expalins my prices and what costs more on the cake such as gumpaste flowers... extensive piping etc. I have found it easier to price individual cakes that way. Most of the cakes I do are pretty unique to the bride so each has a different price structure.
Glad to hear all of you in Tennessee are ok!

Of course mine are on the low end, as I am rural. I did mine on webs.com, it was very easy to do, it is free, you will have advertisments on it, but free is always good :) they do have 2 other options you can choose that are montly fees. mine is jenniferannscakecreations.webs.com if your interested. I'm kinda proud of the fact i was pretty close on my topsy turvy price, I called a baker in town & got a quote. I also am just starting out.

Jennifer, we did fine. We are situated on a hill so we were fortunate. I have many friends, however, who live in the Bellevue area and they were just devastated. I don't know if you saw the coverage where they were saving two horses that were caught in the flood? That was actually an old friend of mine and his daughter, saving their horses. Unbelievable! Anyway, I'm glad your family was okay. It was a really scary weekend and an even harder week after...
On a different note, I think I'm almost ready to launch my website, so I'm excited! I decided to follow the lead of another lady on this site, and price my cakes according to levels. I'm hoping people respond favorably to it!

Kagi, thank you, but my site is always a work in progress. I think I have my pricing done, then I think about it too long & go back & adjust it. lol. as far as the topsy turvy cake, myself I charge by serving, I do $3.50 a serving for fondant, but then again you have to remember I'm rural. In Nashville, Tn they can charge $5.00 a serving for fondant for just a basic round or square cake. Dont really want to know what they would charge for a topsy turvy cake. lol. I was shocked to find out a 9 in round covered in fondant with a simple fondant bow on top went for $100. Anywho... by my estimates a cake like the one you need 12,9 & 6 I come up with about roughly $350, & that just amazes me, I have a hard time charging somebody that much.

I was just on your website and it is amazing! very well organized and I like how you are very detailed with your pricing (that really IS hard to do) :)
Keep up the great work!
