goodness, I'll have to figure out how to attach an image, sorry. Anywhoo, the link for the cake is here:

You cannot legally create copies of Phineas & Ferb without Disney's permission, but you can buy licensed toppers and put them on the cake.
For that cake we would probably charge $6/serving plus the cost of the toppers. We are in CA, and since you cannot legally sell homemade cakes here that price includes the extra cost for renting a commercial kitchen.
Kmianecki, I don't know if that is the law where you live--about making cakes at home. You may have a cottage law, but jason_Kraft is right. YOu can not legally sell a copyrighted version of something. I also don't know enough about these characters to know if you can find them elsewhere or not. I would suggest finding out what a store in your area would sell something like that for and/or see if you can find someone who decorates cakes in that area. Call them up and tell them what you want and find out what they would price it for? that would give you a ball park idea, pricing wise.

For me it's $3 for butter cream, and $4 for fondant. So the kite cake in a 6 and 8 would be $144.
You need to use the link above though, for information on how to price YOUR cakes.
I do a lot of character cakes at no charge for family. With that I have to add I recently turned down a customer requested Phineas & Ferb cake. Disney has strict copyright laws. Not worth the fine.
I have a question. second try. what if you buy a disney character pan and you make a cake from that and sell it? How can they quibble with you making a cake to sell when they did not set up regulations with the retail place that sells the character pans. You can only buy this pan if you are not going to make a cake to sell and you have to sign this sheet which we send to disney. If they make an agreement with Wilton to make the pans to sell to the public knowing that there are cake decorators out there that buy Wilton pans and learn how to decorate through Wilton and they do not set up an special contract when you buy their pans, I do not see how they can do anything about it. Now I can see the problem when you make your own disney charachters by sculpting them. Can someone explain this to me? in a way that makes sense? Cuz to me they have no right to regulate what one does when they buy disney character pans.
