I am making a cuddly stand up bear into a strawberry shortcake and I am also making a 1/2 sheet cake with bc strawberries on it. I have made the strawberry shortcake before but it was for family..Any help would be great..

As a rule of thumb, (I work out of my house as a hobby) I charge $20 for every cake mix I use. For the bear, (think it uses 1 cake mix) I would charge $20- $30 depending on how much detail you'll be putting on it and $40 for the 1/2 sheet cake. This would make you $60-$70 on the cakes all together. You get your materials worth and time without having to charge $50 for just the bear plus the the sheet cake. Just a suggestion. Everyone I've done cakes for has been happy with my prices so far and I've never had anyone drop their mouth open from shock either.
