Okay, so I made my first modeling figures for my Noah's ark cake. I have no idea how to price a cake with figures...Could you help? I'm not going to sell it, if is for my sister in law's baby shower (well my husband's sister in law, whatever), but I want to be able to tell my MIL what it would cost if I sold it if she tries to belittle it. (We don't have the best relationship). I know it isn't perfect-I can't get the panda's or the elephant's ear to stick on. It is just quickly put together for the picture, I'll put it together better for the actual shower.

Sorry, size would be an important point. The bottom is a 8" square, about 4 inches high, The ark was 2 small ovals, carved a little.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad it turned out like it did. Like I said, it was a first with modeling and first with carving at all as well. So it was a cake of firsts.

Thanks ! Everyone at the shower loved it and wanted to know if I did this for money. I wish! $100 would be really nice right now.
