Hey guys,

I was just curious what you all thought the price should be for this cake. It was mostly labor intensive (6 hours). I'm pretty proud of this one icon_smile.gif

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Hi-

What size is that cake? It would help me with an estimate...

LOL -- was ken the poor little olive passed out next to the cart?

------

at least $75 considering that amount of modeling work you did.

the cake itself isn't all that big or hard -- but....all those decos, figures, trees and that golf cart bring the price up quickly.


and even more reasonable amount would be $90.

the pricing conundrum:
by the hour?
by the serving?
cost x3?
or some blend thereof?

in this case by hour, by cost would win over by serving due to time and all the fondant.

Thanks for the kind words icon_smile.gif The cake is 12" round.

Actually, Doug, Ken has actually crashed a golf cart so I thought it would be funny to poke a little fun of that lol icon_smile.gif

I'm inclined to agree with Doug on pricing.
