Wow that is an awesome cake!! I would charge somewhere around $150 if it were mine. Maybe a tiny bit more. That's alot of work and a ton of fondant. Awesome cake though.

Ya know? I think I would charge more then the $150. If you bought that same cake at a bakery I bet they would charge at least $250 if not more.

How about anyone else? How much do you think?

WoW, I love your cake. The colors are beautiful and your work is so neat looking.
I would charge per slice like a wedding cake. Your base price plus extra for fondant, filling and decorations. I would say $4 to $5 per slice.

at least $200 that's a lot of serving and different flavors in each tier I would charge extra just for that, your cake is perfect by the way

Thanks everybody! I do cakes just for fun so when she asked me I was nervous but could not say no. I was glad it came out just the way we planned.
