I quoted $150 for a 12â Italian Cream and 6â vanilla. The 12â will be almost completely covered with edible images (9 photos). 4 icing sheets cost me $13. Also a fondant plaque with tappit letters and a couple of fondant accents. I donât do many cakes and so many times I have remorse after I quote a price.
This was ordered by an organization my company is involved with and when I procrastinated on quoting her a price she called one of my coworkers and asked her if she knew how much I was going to charge. My coworker asked me about it and I decided I better give the lady a call. This lady is like 80 years old, a real sweetheart. My coworker who doesnât know much about cakes said that the lady said âmaybe $50 would be insulting, maybe $75.â Coworker didnât give her opinion on what I should charge except to say that she knows I put a lot of time into it and I should get paid for my time. The lady didnât flinch when I told her $150, but I felt bad after we hung up. But then again, I always do! LOL! I charged $150 for a similar cake for my boss that this lady had seen at the party. So I donât know why I feel bad about it. Slap me with a wet noodle! Iâm such a dork!
Cake is similar to this one...
