ok, so I was tasked to make a bratz cake like the i3rd image attached (used w/ permission of CAMBO).... the 2nd image is my FBCT that stuck to the paper, which would have been fine! The 1st pic is what I settled on at the last minute because of the person picking the cake up at noon... please tell me if this looks like a cake worth $25 or should I give her the money back....it is a 10x15x3.... thanks so much for looking!

There is no need to return any money and yes it's worth $25. The cake looks fine.

I agree. I also think it is fine to send home with a customer.

Is that an edible image?? I would be charging more than that! Those are expensive to use! That looks like a $40 cake to me! Seems like you are under charging.

$25 ...... That's not a lot for all your hard work & Worry!!!
It definately looks worth it!

thanks for the replies. It is an edible image, they wound up not charging me because they cut some of the girls hair off, so it didn't cost me anything. I am just paranoid I suppose. Thanks again for the responses! Hopefully my FBCT tomorrow will go more smoothly!

An 11x15 serves 40, so you are getting around $0.60 per serving!
That cake is worth every bit of $55!

I think you're way undercharging for that! It looks like its worth $40 or $50 easy!

Looks awesome Lori! I also think you need to be charging more. I charge a "starting" price of $40 for my 11x15's and most end up costing between $45-50 depending on the details! You gotta make money honey!

Your cake looks great and is worth every penny...if not more.

Great Job!

It looks fine and as others have noted, I think you're under-charging.
