I did this hungry caterpillar cake for a friend's daughter's 1st bday. I undercharged her for it, partially because I needed the experience with gumpaste and partially because she's my good friend.
Curious though...what would you charge for this cake? The cake was WASC, 2 layers each torted, filling alternated between buttercream and cookie cream filling.

Thanks!
Okay, I'm gonna play the price is right cake game; Here goes!
I would put it in the price range of $50-$70.
I think a lot depends on the area where you are and the market.
Don't sell yourself short. I only see 2 of your cakes here, but I believe you have enough experience. The Caterpillar cake is awesome!
You did a great job on all the details! It really does depend on your area but make sure you charge for all the time it took you to get those details done.
How big is the cake?
I am working pricing right now too (someday I will actually feel comfortable to move forward on selling) and I think $50-70 is too low for that cake. You can go to Walmart and spend $35-40 for a cake that doesn't even touch yours.
I'd sell that for $75-$100 at least, if not $125.
Do yourself a favor and get a pricing matrix (there are several here for you to use) and input your information. I think you'll be surprised at how much you should be charging.
I downloaded a few of the matrices here and they are quite complicated so i rigged up my own but they provided valuable information as to how and what I charge for.
I agree with $100, that is an awesome cake. I wouldn't charge any less than $3.50 per serving for that cake.
Am I missing something here? I don't see a size of the cake anywhere. There is a BIG difference depending on the size. If that's a 6" I would charge $80-$90, if it were a 10", we're talking $160-$170
