These are some leaves I made for a cake order due Friday. I have established my basic pricing, but wonder should I charge extra for the leaves? If so, how much? I know everyone gets tired of pricing questions...SORRY! but I need some input.

They look like a million, but I don't think you can charge that much. What did you use to paint them? They look so real! I would maybe charge a flat fee for the total of the leaves, depending on how many you have and how long it took to make them. Sorry, I am not much help. But I love your leaves!

Wow, those are just gorgeous! I'd say if you feel making those leaves added to the overall time or cost involved in making the cake (above and beyond what you'd normally do), yes, charge more. How much is a tough question--it really depends on what you charge for a basic cake, and how much extra time you spent.

Again, they're absolutely spectacular. Love love love.
