Below is a link to the cake I did for my son's 4th b-day yesterday. It is a 14 ich base half chocolate half WASC w/ fresh strawberries between the layers. B/C icing w/ mmf accents. The car is made from the 3-D durable cake recipe on this website and is covered in mmf fondant with mmf and b/c accents. According to Wilton's website, the 14 inch square feeds about 85 people and I'm guessing the car feeds about 15-20. It took me about 1 1/2 -2 days to make this cake. Here's my question:
1) How much would you charge for this cake as shown?
2) How much would you charge for the car cake only?
Thanks,
Rhonda

On average I charge 2.50 to 3.00 per serving. With the work involved I would keep it in that range. Nice job!
I would do a minimum of 3 dollars per serving. I know how time consuming that can be. I did a McQueen cake too.
Can you please provide the link for the directions of this cake? You did an awesome job!! I would love to make this cake.
Did you sculpt the car? If so, I would charge $4.50 per serving = $90
For the entire cake - $245

This is from one of our very talented fellow CC'ers-Nati, she has lots of tutorials.:

I guess you could say I sorta kinda sculpted it. It was actually quite simple following the tutorial from the above-referenced link. I used two oval cakes, sliced off the edges andf placed them on top for the roof. The "sculpting" took less than 10 minutes!
