Need Some Help With Pricing This Cake Please
Decorating By indigojods Updated 13 May 2007 , 11:52pm by kelleym
Sorry for people that are tired of these questions, but I am really not sure how much to charge for this cake. Partly because I can't figure out the serving size. Here is what it is (in the works):
bottom cake: 8" round - 4 layers of yellow pound cake, 3 layers of filling (2 choc bc and 1 vanilla bc). Cake iced in choc bc.
on top of that: 1 soccer ball iced in bc. I smoothed out the stars so it looks pretty neat. This is the wilton sports ball pan that takes a 2 layer cake mix. Also yellow pound cake but filled with strawberry "sleeve filling". Dowels and small cake board to support the ball.
I also made 11 fondant stars, one for each girl on the team that will have their name and number on it. These will be put on wires and stuck out of the soccer ball (assuming i don't have any problems attaching them, etc).
Will write the requested phrase on the front of the cake, probably with fondant letters. And do grass borders in bc.
Any suggestions on pricing? This is for my co-workers wife. She asked the amount and said to make sure I charge her appropriately for all materials, work, time, etc. I told her I would calculate and get back to her in the morning. She is picking up the cake around noon.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Can anyone throw out some ideas on what they would charge incase I don't have time to calculate my costs? Time to get dressed before the cake is picked up 
Thanks again!
Ok I am very new to all this but I would charge at least $65 and no less but that is just me.
