Hi All,
This is my first "real" cake that I would actually consider charging for. Its for my grandmothers 90th birthday so its my gift to her. But if I were to sell this cake, what would I charge? Its an oval 10" 2-layer french vanilla with pineapple filling. Covered with MMF & fondant roses, royal icing writing with gold lustre dust.
Also, how to you guys keep from getting creases at the base of the cake. I have the worst time with this and am still working on it.
TIA!
Good job on cake--
For the creases--pull your fondant out as you move your hand down the sides and against the cake. Also have your cake sitting on something so that the fondant hangs down a bit. Not too much or the weight will tear it.
Then cut fondant right at the bottom of the cake with a sharp knife and at a slight angle.
As far as price--I would sell it for $45.00-$50.00 ( at least). Fondant is expensive and tricky to work with. Check with bakeries in your area and see what they would sell it for.
I would say no less than $50 with a maximum of $75 depending on the area you live in.
