Well, thank you so much for the compliment. Yes, you will. There are cakes, from my early days, I wouldn't dare post on here ... or anywhere!
Absolutely! When I mean to be offensive, it is quite a bit more blatant. I just mean to say that if I did the design, it would be different and the price would be different. When I started out, my cakes didn't look nearly that good as the OP's.
I just got a hard drive off my first computer, I should post a picture or two so you all can have a good laugh.
Thanks for backing me up ;-)

IMO, there's nothing wrong with saying this... the title asks, What would YOU charge? It's pointless throwing out a price that someone else can/should charge, when the question is based on what others would charge at their business with their skill -- I am right? You wouldn't say $35 is fine (if you didn't think it looked professional enough, when you know your business would charge $200 for a similar design), and have people think you also severely undercharge.
For a professional, it wouldn't take quite as long, and it would look more professional -- that needs to be specified. If a professional wouldn't pay any price for a cake that they know they can do better, perhaps a professional can/should specify that too.
I agree, totally. Even for my own work, I have seen a nice design someone wanted copied, I charged proper pricing, then messed it up! I took $30 off the price when it was picked up, because I did it poorly. The same design SHOULD be a different price for different bakers and different areas.
Well, I think we have once again managed to completely hijack a thread.
