I have no idea how much to charge for a stand up bear (the larger one that Wilton makes) I am adding some extra stuff to it, (a phone and flag) I was planning on just covering it with buttercream stars, unless someone has other ideas!

So how much do you usually charge for a 3 d cake like this? I was thinking maybe 50?

If you are covering this cake in stars I would charge a little more than $50 especially with the extras added to the cake. You have to consider the time it will take you to pipe all those stars.

My hand hurts just thinking about it.

I looked around at other web sites in our area and it looks like the going price is about 65 for a 3D standup cake. Thanks for your help!

I use the star tip to make clothes and the grass tip to make fur on my bears.

I have never played with the grass tip..it looks very time consuming!

I am making alittle t shirt for the bear out of Fondant.

Do you have a favorite recipe you use for a dense cake? I was thinking of just using a regular old cake mix, since its the tested method.

I use a regular cake mix but I add a pudding and a package of dream whip to it.

I have a recipe that calls for pretty much that, except you add sour cream, oil and water to it....Its a pretty dense cake. I guess it will work? Just never done a stand up pan before!
