True Price The Cake, As It Was Intended!
Business By Annabakescakes Updated 19 Feb 2013 , 8:18pm by Suuske
To get back in the spirit of things let's do this cake, since it is a real hypothetical as I don't think any of us have or will have a request for this cake!
Assuming it is a 24, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11 then a whole buttload (that is a measurement, right?) of rice crispie treats for the hips and bodice and head, and arms with pvc pipe skeleton extending to the arms.
Client provided real satin gloves, silk flowers, veil, Red Rick Rack!?!?!?! and bling.
I have 560 servings of cake, super simple buttercream design, $3.20 a serving for $1,820.
Then the bodice, head and arms, estimating 20 boxes of rice cereal treats and all that labor and modeling chocolate and sculpting, and such, with "Dear God, this is ugly, what did I get myself into?" fee, I would say another $2,000, for a total of $3,820.
I think I would also charge another $300 to move it, and put together on site, in addition to my $1 mile round trip fee.
I'm pretty certain a PITA fee would apply too.
I would be thinking a " does my bum look big as this ? " Fee would apply too.
I am just going to Say $10, 000 and be done with it . That includes the I don't really want to do this cake fee , Bridezilla Fee ( you know she is going to be one) , and the I am going to have my name attached to it forever fee.

This ^^ No way in hades. Just no way.

I agree with all the fees, but don't forget the MASSIVE bosom!
I just can't believe that someone actually made this cake , let alone someone wanting it . Tackois darling Tackois. ( For those wondering Pronounced Tack- Wah )
Ten Grand , I still stand by my original quote.
This thread has kept me here for a bit , I should be tidying and organising my new cakeroom. 
If I had to do it, 15K, plus, there would be a "you're a totally arrogant tool" fee. I mean, you have to be a total bridezilla to want yourself sculpted out of cake. And I saw that original picture with the bride and groom. She does look like a B.
LOL, I would certainly give a huge $$$$ for a quote so they would go somewhere else. I don't have an oven big enough for the bottom tiers, so I would have to find a kitchen. So yes $15K it is.
uuuuuuhhhhhh.................$15,000. I would never do this cake. Too much potential for disaster, ie. problems with transportation, assembly, the couple being mad because it doesn't look exactly like the bride.....
I mean, I don't know about you all, but i'd refuse to eat my own face unless it was absolutely flawless...
@AZ Couture..so true! I would never ever do a cake like this but if I am pricing.. I would charge around 10K too though I don't have an oven big enough to fit those big bottom tiers in either.. I've seen this cake around the internet for quite some time now and I don't understand why she would want a copy of herself in cake let alone how ugly the cake is and that RICK RACK! I JUST CAN'T with this cake!!!! It probably would be a bridezilla to order a cake like this!
I think I saw that cake on Cake Wrecks somewhere 
I wonder though what went through her head when she commissioned that cake. Why would you want your image to be reflected in your weddingcake? WHY?? And a life size version at that!!!
I too saw the picture of the bride and groom and she did not look too happy to be honest ... (neither did her husband by the way, but there may a whole different reason for that 
...)

I hear you! I hear you!!! LOL. These posts are cracking me up!
Clearly the customer who actually bought this declined the 'skinifying artistic licence' fee and the 'add a smile' fee!!! jees all that work and not even a smile!! lol
I honestly have no idea for price, probably around 5k
I can never get past the rick rack on that ridiculous cake. I actually got angry the first time I noticed it, haha, I have always wondered if the bride or the baker was responsible.
Going with your estimates on servings/ingredients, I would do a broad estimate of $4500-$5000. Possibly an extra grand for the therapy the rick rack has caused :)

They do have half pans, where it is just half a circle. I have an 18" half pan, from when I was baking in a small oven. Now I have a HUGE oven, and have never needed a bigger pan than 16, lol..
And I kNOW with the rick rack!

LOL!!! I know, right? Plus, the "pull the shoulders up out of the breasts" fee, and the "make the head less giant" fee ;-)

Every time I see the two of them with this cake, I wonder why they are mad. Because, surely they knew something could go wrong when commissioning a larger-than-life size cake, right? And I wonder if the guy is one of those indulgent types that likes getting run down, or if he is like WTH?
I read some story that the bride always wanted a life size doll, so she had it made as a wedding cake, but I am not sure how the one transitions to the other
