Great job!!! It makes me very happy to know there are people in our industry willing to help another baker in their area. I'm not sure what I would have done if a veteran in my area had a cake like that. I'm the youngin in town so I...

Oh I am too! If I do end up doing it, it would be about $7 per serving, including delivery. I typically start at around $4.50 per serving but I price by the tier so it sometimes comes out to less. Just doing a 4-6-8-10-12 in fondant...

Yea I told her I could for sure do a cake for $1300! My most expensive coming up is almost $700 too! I would need to serve 185. She also mentioned a groom's cake and I asked if that needed to be within the 1300 along with the bride's...

I could probably suggest fresh flowers for the bottom; I'm just worried that they won't coordinate with the sugar flowers on the cake. I am anti-fresh flowers on cake; I can do it but you're gonna have to pull at me to do it. 

To me, an all white cake is a PIA. We do more than just cake so I would probably have like a cupcake order that my team would be working on so I'd have to keep everything super clean. I wouldn't actually charge more for all white but...

Yea most of my brides haven't needed more than a four tier cake. I haven't emailed her the quote yet but I really want to add about $200 as a PIA charge for it having to be all white. Part of me wants to have it in my portfolio and...
