I just finished my first gumpaste shoe today, hooray me! Anyway, now I'm wondering what I should charge for one. I made a shoebox cake to go along with it which would serve 24. At my price of $2.25/serving that comes to $54 for just the cake. I was thinking of adding $20 for the shoe for a total of $74. Is this too much, not enough? What do all of you shoemakers charge for your shoes? Thanks for any input. icon_smile.gif

I tried to attach a pic of my cake but it didn't work. The pic is in my photos. Thanks!

I know nothing about pricing but your cake and shoe look great!

Very nicely done! In my area probably $10.00 would work for the shoe. I'm doing one for a Bridal Shower next weekend. It's going to sit on a pillow on top of two tiers hopefully. Pam from Bama
