Hi, I live in Southern California. I made this cake for a friend, someone has asked me to make it for them this weekend. What would you charge for this? Thomas is made of fondant?

ok why am I unable to add an attachment to this message?

Thanks for that information - ok if it was just a train on top and not Thomas what would you charge.

A really cute cake and well done. It is hard to say, so many variables, size, flavors etc. I would count up all my expenses and add 10.00/hr for labor. You'll probably get a gasp and "are you kidding me?!"

to feed 40 so probably a 12 inch round.

My fondant cakes start at $3.75 a serving for a simple cake. I live in rural Nevada that makes a big difference. You might wanna check around in your area.

You could certainly sell a generic cake (provided it was made entirely in a licensed commercial kitchen in CA), and let her find, purchase, and place a plastic train on top.

10" = 38 servings
12" = 56 servings

Thank you, I don't always get paid, I just did this one for free for a teacher at my school
