Hello fellow bakers! I need help pricing a cake. Here are the specifications:

Gluten free 9" diameter and 9" high, covered in fondant, cake board covered in fondant, hand painted Winnie the Pooh scene which would probably take about 4 hours to paint.

so in essence a two tier cake — about 60 servings at $6 each for gluten free fondant covered — then i’d have to see the drawing to price it right but a typical average Winnie the Pooh picture in my mind no offense should take no more than two hours for that size cake — basically the front of the cake area is just smaller than a sheet of paper — in other words grading on the curve there rather than your individual  ability — so i’d go an additional dollar  per serving because you figure on an hour or two of decor in the base price anyhow — but if it took me four hours i’d eat half of that myself —

best to you
