Here's How Much I Charged For My Recent Cakes!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I'm sharing some more prices with you! In this video, I give you prices of my recent cakes between 1-3 tiers. I also let you know the size of each cake, how many people they serve, and how long each one took me to make. Pricing can be a little tricky, we don't always get it right. But I hope by sharing my prices that it will help you figure out how much to charge!
Let me help you elevate your cakes to the next level!

Your work is absolutely beautiful. I live in Kenosha, WI, and we are a small city of about 110,000 people. We have two bakeries that charge $45 for a half sheet cake, so the location is correct. I have a small home cake pop business, and I can not get my clientele here to pay what my cake pops, cakesicles, are really worth. However, I do have clientele over the border in Lake Country, Illinois, who will pay for my work. Thank you for sharing your prices. I will also buy you a coffee. Have a great day!

You gotta make it worth your time or what's the point in even doing it? The people ordering from you would never work for free, so why should they expect you to? And thank you so much!! ☕🎉🙏

That is correct. My time is very precious to me. I put a lot of love in my work. Btw I decided to become a cake pop member. Take care!
The girl / boy cake you made was definitely nicer than the original. I’m from the UK so I always do USD to GBP conversions of your prices and I wish I could charge similar!But, different country; different price range

Thank you honey! It still haunts me in my dreams though 😂😂
Great video! You’re absolutely right about charging your worth. As my skills have grown my prices have gone up. I’ve learned that people will pay for quality. I have a motto- I work too hard for my money to give it away. What I give is the opportunity to earn it. I had to earn it. You want it? You have to earn it too. I treat people like I want to be treated. I give excellent customer service. I deliver cake cutting guide with directions on how to disassemble their tiered cakes, how to store that top tier if it’s a wedding… but if someone is willing to pay as much as I charge for a cake, they get excellent customer service

Awwww thank you so much! When I started, I was making sheet cakes for $25-$50 and 3 tiered cakes for $200. As my skill level has increased, so have my prices!
I just tried decorating a cake. It's significantly more difficult than it looks. After trying to decorate it myself, I would happily pay your prices.
Love all of the cakes! You’re very very good at what you do! I love watching you, tongue tied or not. (That just makes it better) 🤣😂

Oh my gosh! I just had a nervous lady too who was driving me nuts. She loved her soccer themed cake for her husband but I could tell she had a tough time trusting me. And the inspiration pic she sent was horrible I knew I could do better than that. 😂

It's stressful when people are nervous about the cake! It makes you second guess everything you're doing.
Awesome!!!🙏🏻💖
Very wonderful work
I think your pricing is great. If a customer wants a Walmart cake then they need to go to Walmart. Your cakes are works of art! They are paying for your creative talent and the time involved to make the cake. I absolutely love the pink baby shower cake. It's always nice when someone tells you to be creative and use your own design. 😊

Great video! Thank you Karolyn. Hope you will someday make a video on how you box and transport tiered cakes. I am always nervous to travel with tiered cakes. Stay blessed.❤💕

So true! I live in the rural PNW, our town is literally in the middle of wheat fields, very few people here would ever pay those kinds of prices, so they don't get those kinds of cakes, but if you go on the other side of the state (Seattle), that is comparable to what I've seen there. It's like any profession, you are paying for the expertise of the vendor (presumably because you can't do it yourself), my husband and I had a painting business and you get a lot of 'oh, that's way too much', ok, good luck to you, hope you find someone

OMG they were a nightmare I don't ever wanna make them again! 😂 I rolled pink and blue fondant in a ball. Then I rolled out pink and blue fondant really thin. And I took my xacto knife and hand cut tiny strips. Then I got piping gel behind each strip and randomly stuck them to the ball. It took a lot longer than I anticipated!

Do you make the cake from scratch or do you use box mix?

@KarolynsKakes thank you for your response and honesty. Personally, if i pay btwn 300 to 500 hundred for a cake i would expect it to taste gourmet as well as be beautiful. Cake mix, even doctored has a specific and fake/cheap taste (perhaps the chemicals they add?). Your art is beautiful however and i enjoy watching you make it.
How tall are your layers?
@KarolynsKakes
4 ай бұрын
The 2 layer tiers are approx. 4 1/2 to 5" tall. I bake in 2" high pans and torte my cakes. So there are 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling.
