I just got a Scobby Doo pan, and I was telling a cowork I need to make some to practice and he said if it turns out good he would buy it off of me. How much should I charge him? Should I charge him since it's just a pratice one? I was thinking just $10 - too high? too low?

Are you making the cake from scratch? Calculate what you're spending in ingredients and supplies (cake board, box, etc) and at least charge that. I sold my first "character" cakes for $20, and that was 14 years ago, so I think you can atleast make that. Sure you're praciticing, but I would atleast make it worth your time. I think $15- $20 is a good starter price.

keep in mind that it is illegal to sell copyrighted character pan cakes.

To clarify,
I think you can draw, sculpt, print a picture or throw on a toy. Just look on bottom of pan to see if yours is in fact copywrited. I think this is accurate, if not, please someone tell me.
