Hi everyone just wanted to get a poll on the price of a cake that I did this weekend. The cake is in the topsy turvy section it is the pretty in pink cake. I charged 80 for the cake. I would like to know if you think that the price is fair or did I over charge. The reason I am asking is because the lady( who is a family friend) felt that was over priced.

Very Nice Cake!

I think 80 dollars is perfectly reasonable for a fondant cake. You obviously did alot of work on it! No matter what you do, someone is gonna think you're prices are too high. Those people can just go elsewhere the next time!

$80 was generous! It depends on where you live too though. People who don't do cake don't realize the work that goes into these specialty cakes! Sometimes family friends like to take advantage, don't let them!

is that real beads??

I usually charge $2 minimum per serving on fondant birthday cakes. My DH thinks that's too low, but no one will pay any higher around here.

thanks ladies I did think I was being more than fair. Especially considering the time it took me not to mention that fact that I live in balimore maryland and she lives in bowie which is about 50 minutes away and I drove it to her house. It is all buttercream except for the pink fondant pieces on the bottom and the yes those are real beads to make the topper.
She is mad and said she would not be calling me anymore. I'm fine with it, I know I did a great job and that for the price she wants to spend will be getting generic cakes that tates so so from now on

The cake is beautiful, it was defintely worth the $80. Tough luck she thought it was too much, she doesn't have to order from you if she feels that way. I don't understand why she is mad. Did you tell her the price before you baked the cake?

You know, if she agreed to the price before hand, this woman has no reason to complain, especially since you went way out of your way to deliver it (especially with the gas prices nowadays).
