Am I reading something wrong? Or are these prices astronomical for what the cakes are?

I was researching what people charge for cakes and I came across this.

Maybe those are typos & there is supposed to be a decimal point? I'm not sure.

gosh, I think I may be under charging. That's crazy.

And to think, I only charged $35 for my thomas train cake, I could have made $600.

Makes sense now thumbs_up.gif I just looked again at some of their other stuff & it was funny to read that chicken nuggets were $120 for 15 people or donuts were $70/dozen...heehee..I had to keep remembering that it was Hong Kong dollars icon_lol.gif

Hi!!
I was browsing the themes when I just found this topic..
Curious ah!! Well I'm sooo glad that I live just here!! in XianGang thumbs_up.gif ( hk).. Yes, the price$$$ are 'out of orbit' as my american friends say. But that's normal here, cost of living is very high.
By the way that store is the first and the only that offer W. classes. Did you girls check out the prices that they charge for the W courses?. icon_cry.gif
