I was woundering if anyone had any idea how to price fondant sculptures? I have had someone tell me 4.00 each is a good price but of course that's what they wanted to pay for theirs! haha that doesn't seem worth my time . I have a pic in easter gallery on page 3 it has figurines of a bunny and two lambs on top and little chicks on the side basket weave bottom if anyone has a idea I would appriciate it.

Thanks
v

Personally, I charge by how long it took me, or I think it'll take me! I made a Wallace and Gromit cake for my OH last year for his birthday (in my photos), and the whole cake took me 12 hours because there was so much intricate modelling in it (OK, so I'm a perfectionist, so it might have taken me a bit longer than some people!). That cake would only serve 16 or so, but there is no way I'd except a cent less than 100 euros for it if I had to sell one!

yes, go by time and materials, not number of pieces. NEVER underestimate your talent or it's worth.
