Ok I am doing a cookie "groom's cake" of sorts. I am doing the jeep cookies in my photos and will put 2 on this "hill". How much would you charge for the base? supplies cost roughly $25. We were going to cover it in cookies but I am happy with the way it came out.

How many hours of labor did you put into making it, including the time shopping for materials...etc? Remeber time is money, so I'd charge by the hour. Just figure out what your time is worth. For example, let's say it took you 8 hours from start to finish and you'd like to compensated $20 per hour: 8 x $20 = $160. Looks great by the way!
