Alright, my first wedding cake!!!
I charged a total of $245 for the cake. It's a 6,8,10.
Design inspiration from Helipops 
It's Stunning!!!! No I personally wouldn't pay $250 for a cake, but that's why I started making them. 
Your cake is worth way more than that though! Great Job!
Personally I think you should have charged more!! Great job, its stunning!
Someone at the wedding ( I went, it was a freind of a friends) said she would spend $600!
Holy cow I am just excited
Thanks Stephanie!
Yes, I'd pay $250...because I'd be gettin' a great deal! Wow, that's gorgeous!!
*edited to say: I wouldn't blink at a $500 price tag if I ordered this cake!
yup, sure would. that would be a great deal!!
You did a fantastic job.
, did you make the flowers too? and how did you get the golden tiers so perfect, airbrushed??? 
Thank you all!
I did price lower because it was my first cake. I did spend FOREVER ( researching techniques, studying Sugarshacks DVDs.... running to the supply store 5-6 times and precticing airbrushing and stamp techniques for the scroll, flowers) I think about 50 hours went into this cake from conception to delivery (which I INCLUDED in the price.. lol, it was a friend of a friend. And it was about 10 minutes from my house--though i had to avoid railroad tracks, and brick roads so it took me 30... hehe)
I priced it @ $3 a serving plus 25 for the flowers (first time I made them) oh!!!!! Thanks!!! Toedna for your GREAT tutorial!!!!!!!!
Yes I made the flowers, Gumpaste flowers with directions from toedna.Yep I airbrushed.
The only thing I regret, I was stacking based of Sugarshacks dirrections and she tells you to frreze them alil. I was worried the AB would get condensation ( I live in humid FL). So I stacked then ABed.... lots of over spray but I managed to control it. That is the reason my bottom teir isn't AS "perfect"
I just got my AB and LOVE it... I used Luck's shimmer gold (on white BC) and shimmer ivory( on ivory BC).
Wow!! It's soooo pretty If i didn't make cakes i'd have paid that and then some.
Ziab... wow coming from you thank you..!!
and miny... omG! I thought I would NEVER hear that!
Your cake is stunning! I would expect to pay far more than $250 for it! You should be so proud!
Seriously your first wedding cake????? Holy crap!!!! I can't even DO a cake that nice, and I've made several wedding cakes. Your cake is gorgeous!!!!!!! $250 is WAY underpriced for a cake like this. A co-worker of my husband ordered a heart shaped cake with BC roses and heart something or 'nother for 75, and that's costing them $400. This is WAY more elegant and beautiful than their cake will be. Congratulations on a wonderful creation!!!!
Rocketgirl,
You rock!!!! That cake is.........I am at a loss of words!!!!! One day when I grow up (I wanna do something like that) Oh at first glance I thought it was fondant until I read further along in the thread. If my buttercream could only look that good. Give yourself a huge pat on the back.
Thank you!
I have made other cakes, but this was my first for profit cake.
I must attribute a huge part to religiously following Sugarshacks DVDS!
Oh my goodness, this is buttercream, I thought it was fondant. Where can I order one for $250 - sign me up!!
