i would charge about $7 a serving -- that'd be me making the ornaments and snowflakes and bow -- of course i would not place any glass bulbs on or near the cake --
but a minimum charge of $200 - $225
i wouldn't do all that for anything less and you shouldn't either :)
if they can't afford this -- they could buy some cute little debbies and dress up their holiday table/wedding whatever the event with something really adorable sweet and affordable
ill try to post a link

and they are good! nostalgic favorite -- lots of cute designs not to mention gingerbread men
I don't charge that much because I'm only 16 and the lady I'm doing this for has invested into my business (well the one I'm trying to start) So I was going to charge her 50 being that I'm so young and just starting. I don't want to seem too much when I'm just starting.
That's a beautiful creation. I hope you have the skills to make it. BUT............
your age has nothing at all to do with how to figure pricing. I dare say that $50 does not even cover all the ingredients you will use to make this - not counting the equipment needed. Please reconsider and at the very least double that amount.
You need to spend some time reading all the threads on this site (and maybe others) to see how pricing needs to be calculated ..... it has a lot to do with location, cost of ingredients along with many other factors. If you are going to learn this 'business' you need to start from the beginning & include all facets of it - a BIG part of it being pricing :)
yeah what she said ^^^
your benefactress would want you to charge correctly no? if you do give her a discount -- write up an invoice with the correct price -- her price -- and the real good reason for the discount --
Thank you for all of the suggestions I'm going to consider them all. Especially the invoice. So far I have the bow done and it's my first time making one of course I have to clean it up but I think it's pretty good for a first time.[postimage id="6150" thumb="900"]
