Hi,
I have a friend that wants a car shaped cake for her son's first birthday party. SHe wants Lightening Mcqueen from the cars movie. How much should I charge her? I told her I would give her a discount. I'm just not sure what type of cake like this would cost. I would do all of it in fondant.
ANy ideas?
Thanks
Hey!
I'm doing a Lightning McQueen this weekend for my son's birthday day, too! I'll also do it in fondant. If I was going to sell it, it would probably be at least $50 or $60, because it will take some time to shape it and so forth. I have a race car shaped pan, but it's too flat to look like the cartoony and curvier Lightning McQueen, so I'll have to build it up with some other cake to give it the right shape. I hope it turns out okay. I've been working two jobs for a while and haven't had much time to do cakes, so I'm afriad I've lost my touch! And I'm not quite sure how I'll do the Rust Eze logo on the hood yet, but there's some great Lightning McQueen cakes in the gallery, if you search under "McQueen" (don't search with the word Lightning cuz people spell it all different ways, but everyone spells McQueen right!) There are some examples where people carved the whole cake instead of starting with a race car shaped pan, so I would imagine that would take a lot longer!
Anyway, I hope that helps. I know he'll love it, no matter what you do!
