$25 is more than a fair price for a cake this large, especially if it has filling! Dont'worry, you did a wonderful job. How did you get the design on the icing?

If you are delivering, than $25 is fine. It is simple, but it still takes work to make the thing, ya know?

Simple or not, it's big. I don't sell my cakes as of yet but from a consumer point of view $25 is a good deal going on size alone.

BTW love the bright yellow and I think I recognize my Brawny paper towel indentions in your frosting. icon_lol.gif

thanks yall...to get the design on the icing i used a textured paper towel...i used my foam cake (paint) roller to roll over it while it was on the cake. i ended up doing that cause i couldnt get that darn cornelli lace to look right after 3 trys .... arrrrgg

I didn't even think of delivery, I'm don't deliver. $25 is a fair price.

If it's a 1/4 sheet if it's larger than you way undercharged them.

Yep $25.00 is what I charge for a cake that size also. Pretty bright color!
