Look at your area do find the highest and lowest compare your work and time and all that then try to go middle of the road and see if that wont cover you acceptably.

i agree. each area is so different!!
the first thing i did is make spread sheet for my most expensive cake to make. just the cake...no filling or icing. i broke each ingredient down to how much it cost for the recipe....1 egg costs $0.21.
after i figured out the cost of the cake, i did the same thing for icing and fillings. i then used those numbers to figure out the cost for each size cake i offer.
next, add in cost of disposables: cake boards, boxes, icing bags (i average 7 per cake), paper towels for cleaning (i average 1 per cake), etc.
i add in my delivery fee and my taxes. i got tired of figuring taxes so i just wanted a nice round number!
then i rounded up to the closest $5.00 and added what i thought my profit could be but not be a ridiculous amount for a cake....that is my price.
extras are fondant, fondant figures, 3-d sculpting, etc.
i then check the other bakers in my area who had there prices listed. i found out that i am about the same except that they either don't deliver or charge an additional $10-15 to do so.
sorry so long....just my system.

They sound like a good idea, but just too much work for lazy ol' me. .gif ";)")
