How do I price a custom cake?
Add up ingredient costs, labor (hours x hourly rate), and overhead (utilities, rent, insurance — usually 10-20% of subtotal). Then add your desired profit margin (typically 20-40%).
What is a fair hourly rate for cake decorating?
Hourly rates vary by location and experience. Home bakers typically charge $20-35/hour, while professional bakeries may calculate $30-50/hour or more.

Average prices range from $3-5 per serving for simple cakes, $5-8 for medium complexity, and $8-15+ for complex custom designs. Wedding cakes typically start at $5-7 per serving.
