Birthday Carrot Cake

Birthday Carrot Cake on Cake Central

This is my first paid cake. My boyfriends company bought if from me for his birthday party at work. It's carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I messed up the basketweave but nobody seemed to notice. It's 2 - 9" layers (not torted). I got $30 (in Boston)...what does everbody think of that price??

CONGRATS!!!!! A 10" cake in NYC costs around $40.00, so I think the price was fair. For corporate cakes though, I've found in my personal experience that you can charge a bit more. They do have an expense account, and are not as nit-picking as regular customers. The Madonna Cake I did for MTV was priced well over $100.00.

Messed up on the basketweave where? Looks awesome to me! I think 30.00 is a good starting point. Make sure you know what it cost you to make. Keep up the great work!
