I made this over the weekend for a chaplain's going-away. I have 2 more in the works and want to check on my pricing.

2 11x15
1 12" round cut to square
2 6" cut on angle
FBCT

It's in my photos if you want to have a look. Can't figure out how to get it on the posting! icon_redface.gif [/img]

11x15, when cut in 2x2 pieces serves approx 35, times 2 = 70 servings.
A 12" round serves 50, according to the Wilton chart.
A 6" round serves 12, according to the wilton chart

70+50+12=132 servings x whatever your price per serving plus any extra charges (like for the fbct).

I would say no less than $150-$175.

I would agree that $150 is the least that I would charge

FBCT is Frozen Buttercream Transfer. It's an aweseome way to apply pictures and such without the dreaded star tip! i hate that thing!! There are lots of posts - just do a forum search and i'm sure you'll find lots

I just want to say that the chaplain is going to be honored that you made his coin! (step dad's in the military) He might actually cry. and it looks soo nice! This is a wonderful job and he will love it!

Thank you everyone for all the compliments and support. My hubby said I need to raise my rates, and I think now that he's right!!
