Wedding Cake Pricing Calculator: FAQs
How do I price a wedding cake?
Cost every tier separately, add boards, dowels, boxes, and delivery, then include all of your hours at an hourly rate before applying your margin. Tasting sessions and consultations are time too.
Should wedding cakes have a higher margin?
Many bakers set a higher margin for weddings to reflect the skill, risk, and time involved. You can set a separate price tier for it; the calculator will show the resulting price.
Do I charge for delivery and setup?
Yes, treat delivery and on-site setup as billable time plus mileage, and add them to the cake cost rather than absorbing them.
