I had someone ask for a mini mouse smash cake plus 20 cupcakes. I told her $90 and she didn't like the price.   Do you think I was over priced? 

Hard to say without knowing what prices are like in your area but I would generally say no, you're not pricing too high. I'm guessing you are in the US? Doing a quick currency conversion to AUD, I'd be charging more than that just for the cupcakes!

I am in Florida.  I even bid low because I have been slow lately.  The biggest problem is that my area is flooded with new bakers who will work for practically nothing. 

Urgh, that is so annoying!

no not too high -- plus the copyright thing

 Absolutely, not too high.  I live out in the sticks and I would charge a little more than that.

-K8memphis, since the theme here is pink, instead of Minnie Mouse red, and only the ears and bow are used, would this still be a copywrite infringement?

idk -- in my day -- we did tons of minnies and mickeys and all the other ones -- the copyright thing slowly crept up on baking and choked it -- I personally would not do mouse ears like those except for my own family where it's a gift and no one posts online pics of cake --

I mean it's called a "minnie mouse" -- it'd be actionable I think --

what's funny to me is I used to work for a cookie store who did minnie and mickey cookie cakes and put them on display in a mall... with a Disney store! ha!

I've only done one Mickey and Minnie and it was for a family member, so no money was involved.  I have read that personal use where no money is exchanged is permissible, but I reall don't know.

it makes me sad --  it should be fair use but it's not

Baby Minnie Mouse is pink, so there would be infringement.

The cupcakes alone would be $40-$60 dollars. So you are definitely under charging. I know you have been slow, but that is no reason to not charge enough to make a profit.

I normally charge $50 for a 5in cupcake cake. I only went down on the price about $15. That same day I had another customer unhappy with the $125 price for a pregnant belly cake. I am also aware of the copyright issues, but I still make them.

one of my favorite things to do is sculptures and i'd do the designer purses -- one guy said this is great -- you're cheaper than the purses she buys -- heheheh --  

so I got schooled on here though for producing the logos -- but when you can make something the same as the real thing -- it's a powerful motivator 

I mean *reproducing the logos
