just got done with this cake and have no idea how much to charge for it. all together i probably have about 9 or 10 hours in it. that is baking included. the board it a 19x14 if that gives you a general idea of the size of it. i will try to attach a photo if it doesnt pull up then it is the platypus cake in my photos. thank you all.

How many does it serve? You should charge by the serving and then tack on another 25% for the work. Remember, don't work for minimum wage. Check out the net for sculpted cakes. You did a fab. job too.

thank you fearless. i ended up charging $60 for it. the lady was very pleased and said she didnt care what it cost. there was no price just for her to see the expression on her husbands face.

HI All!

I was just looking at that cake earlier. AWSOME job. Depending on where you live, the price can vary. But it should have been somewhere in the neighborhood of around $100. She got a steal in my opinion. Tell me, what size cake(s) did you use?

cdstem, There isn't anything like seeing that smile on someone's face when they see your cakes, Is there. That is priceless! I am so happy for you. Learning is the best experience.

i used the small oval that you get in course 2 kit for the base and then half of a small egg shape on top of that. the rest was cut from other little cakes. fondant beak and paws. i live in a rural area and it would be hard to get more than what i got out of it. alot of people told me i wouldnt get $60 for it and i told them that she could go somewhere else then cause i wasnt giving it away. thanks alot everyone for your advice.

HI!

Thanks for the info. Like I said, you have to price on where you live. Just keep up doing such great work and more importantly, enjoying it.

KooDO's to youl.
