I started thinking this might be a fake post after you girls mentioned it but OP went on to give advice about pricing to two other 'newbies' early this morning!
She advised the first poster that said she could easily get $5/serving then less then five min later she told another 'newbie' to sell her cakes for $1-1.50!
I simply don't understand how one would justify this thinking.
But this thread has been very amusing this morning
you girls crack me upThis rite hear shows how smart you are because I tell the person with the prettiest cake I ever seen that sumone would pay $5-$6 a serving for it and I tell the person with cakes no better then mines that they could get $1- or $1.50 for it. duh.

I understand you OMGOMG. Why would someone new charge as much as someone whose been baking a long time?
I no, rite? I thought i was the only person on here that made since. THANK YOU! I seen your tornado cake! So cute! I bet you could have got $25 or $30 for it. People want to say HOW to price a cake when all sumone wants is to no what to charge. Its STUPID!

Does anyone have any finacial advise? I found out I have a cottage law and I want to price my cakes resonable prices, not outrageous like in the bakeries. Please and thanks.
tell me, omg, please how did you decorate this cake? it looks like a combination of skill levels and i'm curious -- you seem to want to be taken seriously although you have a questionable entrance to the forum with the rat & that cake & all--that was just to be funny right?
but now you want to be taken seriously and so explain to me how you did this, please--the combination of the random blue design, the uneven piping pressure and the very precise picture of the lady--how did this come together for you? who was this cake made for? who made it?

Considering that dependent children are now considered to be 'kids' until the age of 28, this sure creates a lot of prospective trolls. Is this like the old version of calling on the phone and asking if "You have Prince Albert in a Can?" or "Is you refridgerator running?"
Exactly!

Ezmerelda's face and upper body is a plastic piece that came with the pan. I was comparing my work to the bakery at Walmarts but now I no there are alot of good cakes out there and I am embareassed about it so ot's okay to tell me I need to work more. I didn't no cakes could be so good as te cakes i seen on here and my cake is pittyful.
there's different reasons to do cakes--i like to do cakes to make people happy--to set off sweet fireworks for their celebration--and then of course there's people who do this to compete and be the winner--at cake competitions--but so long as the peeps you did the cake for dug it you're golden--the best amongst us still have some more to learn--
so an idea for you is to do your next cake better than the one before--not look laterally and go "yeah i suck"--just move forward and watch for your own improvement--making the people you do the cakes for happy is the goal--improving skills comes with time--you got this--just gotta keep going--
so lesson one--stop comparing (in the way that takes you down) and start planning your next sweet adventure and where/how you want to set the bar a little higher--like a guniea pig instead of a rat-- jk jk jk hahaha
but like equal pressure to pipe the border--be prepared to stop & scrape off a few and start again--but honestly if you practice first to find your rhythm -- that's what makes a good piper and makes piping fun
feel better
but still, omg--the wild remarks you made during the rat cake thread leave me wondering if you're not just toying with me--
so what comments do you have about the rat cake--where did the different levels of skill come from? from the rat cake which is better made to ezmerelda which i agree to your discription that it is pitiful especially compared to your previous work--you went downhill--
how'd that happen
