That is SO hard to guess! Everyone works at a different pace. I would do a few practice cakes to get a gauge of the time it takes you. 🙂

I’ve made a few, but I don’t really know how to gauge the time it takes and I assume since I’m a beginner with them I should become more proficient. Maybe.

Any advice for figuring in the time when I’m still starting out?

I have the same problem. I started making cakes because custom cakes were so expensive. If I would not pay that price, why would other people. I Got over my thoughts when I started my business, I have not had one person question my pricing. I did have 2 great decorator friends who helped me who helped
me.

Totally what I try to tell people! I have 5 children under 6 as well as making cakes on the side… what’s crazy to me is they want me to make an elaborate custom cake in a day or two notice but when they don’t like my pricing or can’t do it in the time alotted, they go to the local grocer pay an arm and a leg and get a generic cake!
