I would say a MINIMUM of $50 ... but it depends on what the pricing is going for in your area. Are there a lot of places that will do 3D cakes? If not, then you have a perfect market for yourself and you can charge accordingly.

Your helmets look great by the way!

I charge $4 and up per serving for 3D cakes - so my price would be no.of servings x 4!

Those are GREAT! I would charge $60. They look like alot of work and pretty good size. I find where I am there isn't alot of 3D's. So, people find it different and will pay!!!!

Thanks Everyone!! I knew I could depend on CC memebers for their help. Hubby quoted $65 and they were fine with that. He is a firefighter and I made these for fellow members in the department and now everyone wants one. Oh boy! As for servings I just know that wouldnt fly, they are just gonna slice and dice any ol' way they want to. As for the 3D I'm in luck cause no one else does it .
