My husband agreed to do a wedding cake for a coworker who is getting married July 7. At first she wanted a small stacked cake and sheet cakes for 300. Now her fiance saw the cake we did for a wedding last weekend and now they want the same cake but with fondant ribbon around the layers. Their colors....Choc and Raspberry. So how do you make raspberry colored fondant?
Next hurdle..the cake they saw feeds 200. No idea how we are supposed to get 300 out of that.
There are several raspberry color gel paste by Americolor here. CakeCentral shopping carry those item. They do have color swatch for you to look it. If you want the fondant tastes like raspberry, try Lorann Oil. You can google it.
I didnt see raspberry listed as one of the americolor choices here. I'll go look again. I told him he has to ask her for a swatch if she wants it to match.
I know, I'm not good at posting pictures. The wedding cake we did last weekend I forgot to take pictures...SERIOUS mistake but my sister did take a few as he was working on it and when we were leaving and she is mailing them to me. For that one we used 16-14-12-9 rounds with the 9 being saved for them. Now that they saw the cake at the last wedding they arent willing to do sheet cakes. I told dh he needs to talk to her some more because she isnt going to be happy if she runs out of cake.
lol that is a huge cake. 
Dh talked to the bride this morning and she wants to go with the other size. I told him we need to get it in writing that we told her it was not big enough. she is going to serve the 9 now. He is charging her only $1.75 a slice. I told him that with the fondant ribbon we should be charging more like $3 a slice. This is why I dont want to do wedding cakes.
Wow, that is a good price. Only $350.
I am charging 600 for a cake that feed 250 this weekend. Which is still a good discount considering that she has a lot of "extras". GP flowers, fondant ribbon, Edible monograms on top of the cake, THREE different cake flavors, fondant. My DH said that I should have charged her $1000.
