How Much Would You Pay For This Cake???

I am just trying to get a idea of what I should charge for this cake.
Great cake I asked my roomates how much would they pay for this cake and we all agreed that any where around 55-65 would be a fair price. They also said if the person buying this cake was from NC that you would more than likely pay at least 100. What size is it? MC
stacked....if it is, then I say around here people would pay $60 or so....great work, btw, very clean! 1/4 sheet cake white with buttercream
9 X 13 single 2 inch layer
I charge 30$ for a 1/4 sheet cake. I fill all my cakes, but the 2 layer is not as high as that cake pictured.
I charge $25 for 1/4 sheet cake. If I have to add filling or it's another flavor other then yellow, white or chocolate I charge more. Plus I'd charge more depending on the decoration.
By the way... that's a nice cake!
I think that you need to figure up how much the cake actually cost you to make; and then make it enough so that you make a decent profit. Or, how many is it suppose to feed? I generally say $2 a slice, but I adjust my price according to how complicated it is.
The cake is awesome!!
Thanks everyone for you input. Now I know that I need to raise my prices. I only charged $25 for this cake.
I do plan on raising my prices but with just trying to really get my name known I have been undercharging.
Now I have all of her family's cake business. So it will all work out in the end.
$25 is entirely too cheap. You could not get that at WalMart for $25!!! And this is definitely not a WalMart cake!!! Way to cheap. I would charge $50-60 depending on your area. That is a specialty cake. Very nice btw. Great Signature. Did you free hand that or a did a gel transfer?

Looks like I need to raise my prices too!! LOL!! 
I guess I was trying to compete w/ Wallyworld...
Thank you for the kind words. I do plan on raising my prices, especially after learning so much from this site.
I made my own stencil from a pic, traced it on the cake and then filled. The signature was a bit difficult. I can't tell you many times I pulled it off of the cake and redid it. 
I guess that I am guilty of completing with Wallyworld and the supermarkets.
Becca0926: Generally, I will print out the pics, make a stencil of them, transfer to the cake and then fill with frosting.
Actually I print the picture on a sturdy piece of paper, a little thicker than copy paper, (I have actually used just regular copy paper also but the stencil is generally ruined after one use), and then I take an Exacto knife or razor blade and cut out the details that I want to show on the cake. I then place the stencil on the cake and use a needle to lightly "draw" the picture into the frosting after it has crusted. I use a needle because it is much smaller than a toothpick. Then just fill in with icing.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
I definiately need to raise my prices 
Thanks becca for the compliment!! I appreciate it
