Hello everyone! This week I've been working on a princess castle cake for the 5 year old daughter of an acquaintance of mine. Since the castle was my idea and I've been dying to make one, and I know this aquaintance has a limited budget, I offered to make the cake for cost (about $25). This acquaintance asked me what she should tell people if they ask how much it would cost normally. At first I told her $50, but I just kept adding more and more to it (it was SO much fun!). I'm delivering it in about 2 hours and I was wondering if you all had any opinions about how much you would charge. Is $100 too much? It is the most recent photo in my gallery, it won't let me post here for some reason.

Thanks for looking and for your input!

i would say $100 isnt too much to ask for that. i know it took you a long time to do that. especially with the mmf you would need to ask more. not knowing the area of which you live either you might be able to get more out of it.

I would say $75 - $100 depending on where you live. I live in a small town, would charge around $75 -$80.

GREAT JOB!

Absolutely fabulous!! I would charge $100 too. I quoted my "quicky" castle cake that I made for my daughter at $60 for a couple friends...it is all BC w/easy candy accents...all the details on yours deserves more mu-lah!

I won't do a castle cake now for less than $100.00 bucks!! I have done 2 now and totally under-estimated the time and ingredients that go into one.

I agree, $100 is a deal with all the work and time that goes into it.
