It is very pretty and the butterfly awsome!
Dont know about the pricing in your area.But why not give your excel price a try?
May this serve as a bump!
I always undercharge.......but I would probably say about 35 dollars for the cake and extra 5 for filling and another 5 for the butterfly...giving you a grand total of 45 dollars! Like I said probably wayyyyy too cheap...but probably what I would charge.
It is a beautiful cake! I'm thinking $75 may be to high. You did add a lot of extras like fillings,butterfly etc so its hard to say. Have you sold any like this to anyone else? I love the butterfly!
Love the butterfly! How did you make it?
I charge $30 for a 9in. base cake (yellow w buttercream, no decorations). Then I charge a premium for specialty cakes and specialty frosting and filling and elaborate decoration. I would charge an extra $5 each for the specialty cake and filling, then whatever you feel your butterfly is worth.
How about figuring out what you spent on ingredients and multiply that by 3. This was suggested by one of my Wilton instructors.
Ok, that's how I did it and came up with $75. Here's what I think I will do:
$50 is 2.50 per serving (24), I will write it up as a comped butterrfly as a gift.
Chocoalte Chocolate Chip $9.00
Whipped Cream BC $16.00
Labor $25.00
Decoration (N/C - gift) ($10.00)
Total is $50 ($2.08 per serving)
I made the wings seperately, the body from 2 tootsie rolls, and a "ramp" to pose it on.If you use toootsie rolls for the body, you should cover it is chocolate before you try to add the wings....
I made 4 total pieces and then glued (using chocolate) the wings to the body and set it up in a book to get the angle. After that dried, I put the ramp on the cake and glued the butterfly to it. I also piped a bunch of frosting that matched the cake to cover the ramp and to add a little extra support to the wings. I then covered that with flowers.
Thanks so much but I also need to know, are the wings all chocolate? Did you use a mold?
I changed my mind....
I am going to charge $46, and comp the $10 butterfly as the girl's birthday present. They invited my daughter tot he party at the last minute. So the actual bill will say $36
Oh, oops! I forgot!! They are chocolate transfers.
