When you order a cake from a specialty shop, it is customary for them to charge $2.00 a serving. However many people your cake will serve, multiply that by $2.00. It may sound a little pricey, but trust me - people will pay for quality! Hope this helps!

I would charge $50 for the soccer cake unless it is 1/2 sheet, then $10 more. For the TP cake; maybe $30; I am not sure what all you used; BTW; just wanted to let you know in case you hadn't noticed that you spelled wiping wrong icon_surprised.gif . But its ok; I don't think anyone else noticed. I hope you don't think I am being rude; i am just letting you know. icon_biggrin.gif
