I'm upset
I can't sell ... the people think my price are too high...
I start $2.50 per too tiers, $3 x 3 tiers and $4 x 4 tiers, If the cake is cover with fondant I'll charging $10 per tier...
I charged for the wedding cake on the picture $ 800 (Serves 200)
Please let me know your opinion... thanks...

The cake you have on this post... did you make it or is it a cake that you are going to make? I see in a previous thread that you asked about the seperators for this cake so I am thinking this is not your work maybe?
I think your basic pricing is fair. The tier thing doesn't make sense. Tiers are different diameters.
I also agree with the poster who said cake is cake - I charge the same for servings no matter what - I don't care what you do with it. I charge extra for however you need it decorated.

Shouldn't we have this attitude toward every cake that leaves our door? I honestly dont care if it's a wedding or birthday, I charge the same because the same amount of effort goes in to them for me. I want them all perfect and want them all to appeal to the next customer.
Actually, serving per serving, wedding cakes are usually less work, not so many colors to mix as with birthday or other occasions cakes.
Now we have to look at this as a whole picture. I said I charge the same per serving. Decorating? That's a whole other ballgame. Different decorating techniques cause the price of a cake to rise. But the cake itself - same price per serving - I still don't care what you do with it.

I charge extra for wedding cakes- they automatically go into my top tier of pricing for decoration because people want their wedding cakes to look perfect; I want them too as well because weddings are great places to sell a wedding cake to your next customer. So yes, I do care what you do with our cake and I want to know if it is going to a function where it will be seen by hundreds of people in a formal setting, versus going to little Timmy's birthday party to be fingered by twenty children. Either way I want to provide a cake that is going to appeal to my target demographic from the group that will be seeing it. The more information you have about your "audience" the better chance you have to turn every sale into a marketing opportunity.
What a gorgeous cake!

Good for you, Monica!! WTG! It costs what it costs and every one has to accept it or not buy. I think cars cost at least twice what they should cost - but I've yet to find a dealership that agrees with me. And butter- don't even get me started. I have to pay what people charge me - and I have to pass on that practice to my customers... or go out of business.
