Ogh. I had someone come with that exact sam pic and want a cake like that.
I think that cake is so butt-ugly, but I did a similar one and they were happy.
I won't touch mini-cakes.
We used to, but people had hissy-fits at the price. Cake muggles just don't get it. They look at a mini-cake and think *cupcake*, and then croak whe you say that minis start at $25.
Darn tootin'. Comments like *a little for myself* *don't want to overcharge and take advantage* chap my @$$.
Grow a pair, stop undercharging, stop playing 'business', and for gd's sake STOP undercutting real...
We use purchased fondant (Renshaw). Consistent results, less bodily damage (less kneading), and, in the long run, cheaper - no clean up and fewer visits to the massage therapist.
I have a successful, financially solvent and profitable business. Storefront - 2 employees. Bake from scratch with quality ingredients. Purchased fondant (Renshaw).
