I rarely do GP stuff, mainly because brides here seem to lean towards fresh, but I *finally* have a bride whose cake design includes GP sort of bunches of fruit, small pumpkins, apples, autumn leaves, acorns, walnuts, and one large full blown rose in each bunch, with some vining leaves hanging from each as trailers. Beautiful combo, really...

It's a basic fondant cake except for the large topper group, then a smaller arrangement of a large rose, autumn leaves, etc., at each of the next two layers.

I'm sort of stumped what to charge, since I usually don't do these. By the piece (per rose, per leaf, per fruit?) or by the bunch, or just up the whole per serving price?

How do you guys do this when you do a cake with GP accents? I'm excited about doing it--it's a gorgeous autumn cake--but I don't want to scare her off with a giant extra GP price tag, because I'd love to do that exact cake.

Thanks for any advice!
