My First Tiered Cake - Edit How Much $?
Decorating By Jenteach Updated 20 Feb 2007 , 12:54pm by springlakecake
I made this cake for my next door neighbor and they absolutely loved it. She turned 2 and is in love with everything Dora. That was all that was requested of this cake - it had to have Dora on it. So I just put the Dora candle at the top (not yet on in this pic) and the Dora faces that I picked up at Michaels. It was a gift this cake and overall, I am fairly happy with it.
Thanks for looking. I love Cake Central and got inspired for this cake from pictures that I saw here.

Very, very CUTE!!! The colors are great and your writing is awesome. I'm so jealous...writing is not one of my strong points! Good job!!!
Your stacked cake is very pretty. You did a great job. It looks so fun, and I'm sure the birthday girl loved it.

WOW thanks for all the replies! I really enjoyed this cake and am truly inspired by all the wonderful talent that is here!
The cake was 8" and 6" rounds.

What a great job! And the colors you used are great for 2 year old girl-nice and bright! I bet she'll love it!
very cute, my daughter would love this cake, she is a Dora fanatic. i love the vibrant colors and everythings looks so well proportioned and smooth. great job.
I was a little nervous if the mom would like the cake, but she did seem to like it. I like the bright colors, but I wasn't sure she would. I was so glad that everyone liked it!
Now I can't wait for another excuse to do a cake! Now to tacked FBCT!

If I was going to charge for this cake, I was thinking around $60 to $65. Do you think that is a good price? I have never charged for a cake before.... It took me 2 hours to decorate and 1 hour total to bake. There were 2 batches of BC and 1/3 batch of MMF (if that helps). Both layers were box mixes.
TIA

Two tiered with fondant, I would say (depending on your neck of the woods) anywhere from $50 - $65.
Great Job!! Love the colors!
Hope this helps,
Thanks for the replies! I guess that my estimate was pretty accurate? I suppose I would go on the lower side then to see if that would drum up some more business....
Thanks again.
Jen
For a cake that size I have charged $50. But I know I am only making like $4 an hour when I do that!
