Yes, there were mistakes, yes, I wish I could have done more detail. But all in all, I think it turned out good. And the customer was very impressed.

That's a great cake. Was that using the new Castle kit from Wilton? I would love to try one of those cakes sometime. How pretty.

this cake is amazing! I can't imagine anymore detail! IF I may ask, what did you use for the towers - where the windows are?

I used a 9" square pans, and 6" rounds on a 19" x 19" cake board. Height?- maybe 18" -20" or more with the top flag?

Again: What would you charge for this cake? Probably about 11-15 hrs. work.

It looks great! thumbs_up.gif I would charge no less than $250 and upwards of $400-$500 depending on the market, number of towers, details, etc. I would have charged $400 for the castle in my tutorial had it not been for my niece. icon_biggrin.gif
