I hate to bother you all with another pricing question but this is starting to give me a headache trying to figure it out myself. I am making a tractor cake like the one with pic I have attached for a friends little 4 year old for his birthday and a friend of hers asked me how much I would charge to do one for her. I have no clue what to charge. I pm-d another decorator in my area(hour and half away) only one I know close to me to ask her for her advice and she hasn't gotten back to me so thought I would ask you all because she wants me to get back to her with the price. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I charge $5.00 a serving for 3D cakes so that being said....I would charge at least $100.00 or more depending on how many it serves.You have to factor in the time spent baking,carving covering in fondant etc...

Love the cake! It's so cute! I'd say at least $5/slice too. That's

Oh, so cute! I would say that depending on your area, around $4/serving.
