I recently made a cake, and I'm new to all of this. I ended up charging $80, but the girl gave me $100. They really loved the cake (thank goodness). I was just wanting to see what you all would've charged. All of the decorations are edible (either fondant or white chocolate melts) except for the chains on the pendulums. It was a 9 x 13" cake, and everything was hand painted or handmade....it's covered in fondant.....it was two layers, red velvet with buttercream. You will see the pictures below. Oh, it was based on a spiritual advisor's alter....I got photos of her alter and replicated much of it for the cake. Thank you ahead of time for your input!
on an 11x7" I'd have asked £180, £145 if they gave me lots of notice so I could make the pieces well ahead of time.
Lovely cake, so much detail!! How long did it take you?
AWow, that is an amazing cake with such great detail. You are very talented!! No wonder they gave you extra money. Looks like I would have sold myself short on that cake too, as I would have charged around $125 or $150 but wouldn't have been able to replicate the deck of cards like you did. I love your cake!!
Just for the fondant covered cake, no decorations I would have charged $138. the cake serves 50
AThank you all for your replies! It is very helpful. I spent quite awhile on the cake. I'm guessing between 20-30 hours.
I made a 10" round this week that was red velvet with cream cheese frosting, 2 layers, no fondant. The decorations were a combination of edible printer images and fondant decorations made by hand. I will post pics soon. If you have a chance, I'd love to know what you would charge for it as well. Thank you in advance!!!
