This is the first cake I will have sold. I only do cakes for family and friends as gifts. A friend of a friend asked if I could make this cake for their son's graduation as no one in our town does cakes like these. I quoted her $130 which I know is under priced but I only wanted to make a little for labor and to cover ingredients.

So does everyone think this is worth $130, I have to deliver it in 3 hours. I had so many problems with the fondant. Thank you.

Yes, it's definitely worth $130.00. Your client got a great deal! I would have charged minimum of $200-$225 for something like this.

Looks awesome to me and definitely worth more than you're charging!

you don't say what sizes those are, but i would have charged a minimum of $3/serving for the oreos and $2/serving for the logo cake.

Yes, it's worth twice what she paid...just make sure she knows that or she (and others she may tell) will think that's your normal cost.
They look fabulous by the way!

I am like you. I only do for friends and family and charge minimum to them. I always struggle on what to charge. I would say you could charge way more for those cakes.
