For some reason I can't post the picture, but here is the link.
Are the figures fondant, gumpaste or plastic? And what size is the cake?
The figures are plastic, but Rocket isn't right? So you have a single layer so you have 35 servings (2x2 pieces) plus an extra charge for your model of Rocket.. is it cake or cereal treats or just fondant?
You did a great job on the cake.. I think your price was a little low. If you tell me how you made Rocket that will help me figure out how low..

The rocket is made out of cake. I used an 8" round cake pan (3in. high) and half of the sports ball pan by wilton. Then just carved it in shape and covered in fondant. The engines are also cake covered in fondant.

I love your cake! I think it's adorable! Unfortunately, I can't really help with the pricing because I'm just practicing cakes and making them for family and friends right now.
But I was wondering, how you made the engines that are also covered in fondant. Like what did you bake the engine (cake) in? Or did you just carve it?
Thanks!! Happy baking and cake decorating!

I baked the engines in a coffee cup. That worked out really good.
Well if Rocket is made of cake then you definitely undercharged. Rocket would serve 10.. your cake will serve 30.. For the carved part I would have charged almost as much as your whole cake. But if you charge at least $4/serving for the carved part and $2.50/serv for the non-carved part you'd be in a better place for pricing. Doing that you should have charged $115.00. 
If people balk at those prices.. they can go to walmart. What I tell people when they give me the bug eyes about pricing is "If you want a cake at rock bottom prices then I am not the baker for you." and I am okay with that. I am not Wal*Mart nor do I want to be. 
yeah that's low for that rocket.....it sure is cute though!
you did a great job!
