I don't think the bride understands the cost and time that will need to be put in to make an all fondant cake. MMF is not that expensive to make but if you buy your fondant then she is in for a treat.
I charge at least $3.50 per serving for an all fondant wedding cake which still may not be enough. I do let customers know that final price is based off of design and complexity The gumpaste flowers/sprays alone will take time if you make those too. I don't think she should get all that for $200, maybe she should switch to buttercream with fondant accents.
I even charge an additional .30 per serving for fillings.
Sorry this is past the date you needed it but at least it will help for your next order!
