I made this cake for a client's daughter. I'm new so still trying to get exposure. It was to feed 15 kids and a couple of adults. I'm asking now because she is going to pay me this week at her hair appt. icon_smile.gif

It is scratch strawberry cake with buttercream frosting. The "paper" is fondant. I just used the swirly roller on it for the design. It took me about an hour to decorate....

Gorgeous cake - did you use the Wilton Cupcake pan? If so, I charge $55 for those if decorated with fondant. Hope that helps!

I think it also depends on where you live. $50 is great if you can get that. I live in rual southern Illinois where most of the people here are country bumpkins, including my family, I guess. But I would never get $50 for this cake. I would charge $35.

Here in Tennessee I would charge $65.00 and have no problem getting it. (there are very few people around here who do cakes that are "different") Great Job!!!

Thank you all so much! $50 seems to be middle of the road and feels right to me. That's what I will go with.

Thank you all so much for helping me on this one. Have a great week!! thumbs_up.gif
