I have a customer who I am making 10 mini doll cakes for her daughter's birthday using the Decopac plastic Disney princess torso's.The cake kits alone are $3.00 each.The cakes are made with the Wilton Mini wondermold pan but they seem awfully small and I am charging her $20.00 each because they are so time consuming and small.I was thinking maybe I should add an extra layer of cake 4 inches round so she feels like she is getting her money's worth for $20.00

Do you think it will look stupid adding a little height !!Here is a link of the original cake I am doing...

Thanks CWR41...That's what I thought..I have made them before and they actually do take quite a bit of time...You would be surprised..I can ice and decorate a slab cake in the time it took me to do 12 of these for my daughter last year..Thus the price...

I think I will add the 4 inch layer..It won't cost me anymore...

I would definitely add an extra layer, one of my hugest dollcake pet-peeves is when the dress part isn't tall enough that the poor doll looks like it has a normal torso with little stub legs! and you're right, an extra four " round isn't going to really cost you a whole lot more as far as the ingredients and labor. Good luck

you are right, kiddiekakes, they are time consuming. And yes, i would add the extra layer. I do on the big ones also.

Icer..I always add an extra layer under the large wondermold doll cake also...Don't want it to look chinnzy...

I'd add an extra one. You don't want the princesses to look squatty.
