What is the average price of a birthday cake?

Answer 1

How much a birthday cake costs depends on the size, how much decorating you want, and who bakes it. An inexpensive cake that you make yourself could cost less than five dollars for cake mix, icing, and candles. An average sized birthday cake you order decorated from the bakery costs anywhere from $20 to $30 dollars or more.

Answer 2

Depends on size and purchase location. You can get a small round layered cake for around $10-15. Decent sheet cake will probably run you $20-40. If you buy the cake from a local grocery store, they will probably add lettering or provide you with a little matching icing to do it yourself for free - just ask the bakery.

Answer 3

Depending on the cake, it can cost anywhere from about $6 for box-mix cakes to several hundred dollars. Cake-makers who do it for a living, making fancy 3-tier cakes, use software today that helps them figure the cost of a cake and then charge enough to make a profit on it. The common software for figuring out all costs associated with making fancy, decorative cakes is CakeBoss. Less fancy cakes can cost much less. People who make cakes have to figure in their utilities as well as their time, since nobody doesn't like getting paid for time they spend on something. As with almost anything, expertly-made custom cakes will cost more than mass-produced packaged cakes.
