Hi please can someone help, im not sure how much I should charge for this cake its not going to any friends and family, and I havnt got a clue how much it would be. The top is a half a ball pan ( toadstool) the bottom is a 10" and the next tier is a 8". I dont even know how many this would serve. please help thankyou ![]()
What a gorgeous looking cake!!!! I think you should charge $2/serving or thereabouts! Trouble is where I live, most people won't pay $$ for a child's cake..they don't want to pay more than they do at the grocery store.
I think where you live has a lot to do with how much money you can command for your cakes!
At any rate, it is very, very pretty and well done and you do deserve $$$ for that work!!
Are the 8 and 10 inch 2 layer? If they are then you would have roughly 50 to 60 servings. at $3.00 per serving for fondant you are talking about $150 to $180. Then you have to add about $50 or more for the fairy and decorations. That cake is awesome.
How long does it take you to make? What are your expenses? It's a gourgeous cake! My daughter would love it, but I'm afraid if I show it to her she'll want me to make her one! lol, not sure I could tackle that one!
A lot of decorators charge 3X their expenses, but I think anytime you have something that is unique and set apart from the standard you should charge a bit extra... I call this the creativity factor!
Let us know what you decide to charge! How much did you charge for this one?
Lovely cake and I agree at around $350. They are not buying cake...cake you get from a supermarket. They are buying edible art and everyone knows quality art costs!
BTW, what is the mushroom cap sitting on?

Libs did you create this cake? It is fantastic!
IMHO I'd say this serves about 76 at 1" slices and is $5.00 dollars a serving for a total of $380.
I am thinking it took about 6 hours to create - right? If not and it took you more than 6 hours, you should raise your price to 6 or 7 dollars a slice depending on how long it took you.
Remember this is a edible sculpture and not a cake.
Thankyou you guys you are all so helpful I really appreciate it. Yes it is me libs I did make this cake, and it did take about 6 hours not including the time it took to make the second fairy since I smashed the other one but it happens. This cake wasnt actually ment for anyone I just wanted to try and do it see what it would turn out like, but would like to know incase someone did want it made for them
thanks you lot you have been so helpful
