I'm a new cake decorator..just trying to figure out how much I should charge. This is a cake that I dropped off last night.

What do you think this cake would be worth?

It's a cupcake on top, 6 inch, and 8 inch. The 6 and 8 inch were both torted 4 times and filled with buttercream.

Thank you so much!!

Wonderful colors and design. If it's all fondant then I would charge 60.00. That's in the town that I live in. Maybe different elsewhere.

About $2.50/serving should do it.

I'm rural and that looks to be about 75-80 here. People here pay 2.50 for wedding cake but won't for birthday cake and it's the same to me. Weird.

Oh I meant to tell you as well that it is all MMF, except for a little bit of buttercream work on the outside. Someone asked earlier!
