hi guys

I need a little help. How do you charge for putting chocolate strawberries on cakes. Do you charge a price for each strawberry or what. Also lisa has a cake in the fruit gallery with 42 strawberries on it can anyone tell me what size cake that is and probably what it should cost. I have one to do similar to that one.

I get mine at a local grocery store here in Austin. I think 50cents if fine if you care comfortable that you are making enough on them.

Tame,
I saw which cake you are talking about- try to PM lisa, and ask her what size it is? I was thinking that it might be a 1/2 sheet, but pictures are difficult to tell- your safest bet would be to ask her.
