Please take a look at this cake and let me know how much you would charge. The cake will be 10 inch Square x two, mmf over butter cream with a gum paste bow. The filling will be butter cream too. I did this one for fun, now I may have an order for one.

sue_dye: I'm not great with price because I live in an area that doesn't get much for cakes, but I just have to say this is one beautiful cake!! Your fondant is so smooth and those colors are gorgeous together.

I would have to say at least $65 - $75, but maybe someone else will be of more help.

I agree with that price! Maybe even a little higher. Beautiful work, I love those colors and your bow is spectacular!

$75 without the flowers... I don't know if you were putting the flowers in there or not or if they are gumpaste but if they are I would charge at least $7 a flower.

Here I'd charge 75 for that cake (about $90), but then I have to import nearly all my supplies (colourings etc)! So at least $75 is fair I think!
