Is there a formula for pricing figures? I have to make 6 men for a cake I'm making and Im just wondering what to charge.

Anyone? I want to see if this is going to be worth the effort to make this or not and beause I'm not an experienced model-er I know it's going to take me longer than normal.

I had never done fondant figures to speak of before this weekend, but the average came out to about an hour each after I got the hang of it, I was thinking $10 each but I may be Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off.

Would love to know what others charge.

That's kind of what I was thinking but again I thought I may be Way off. And with having to do 6 for one cake that's an additional $60! Seems like maybe it would be charging too much. What do the rest of you think?

I've posted about this before too-- How big are your men? Did you discuss $ at all with the customer ahead of time? I would say at least $7 each. I do babies for $5 each and bigger people for usually $7. But I know I've seen some on this site that would say that's too low. Good luck!
