OK!! Well I made the baby shower cake today (took me all day b/c I'm slow) but I'm quiet pleased with the result.....

I made a 9 x 13 cake half chocolate half yellow with white chocolate pudding filling. Decorated with buttercream and MMF teddy bears and other decorations. (I made the clothesline cake)

How much would you charge??? I live in Canada.....

Thanks for any suggestions...
Cindy

I usually get $20 for a regular 9x13 sheet cake, with an additional $5-10 for a specialty cake, I'd say $30 is very reasonable!

Is this a double layer 13 x 9? I charge $40 for a buttercream double layer, no fondant; which I would say is still very reasonable.

It depends on where you live, but I would say about $35 - $40. I would love to see a picture!

Here in Northern VA, a cake you described would go for upwards of $40. I have been to parties where the hostess paid $40 for a really simple sheet cake with bc decorations.
