price for this cake? It's a double layer 9x13" chocolate cake with ganache filling on the bottom and then the shoes are carved from a double layer 8" square with no filling. I charged her $125...

TIA

Seeing as you got somewhere between $2.75 to $3 a serving (just guessing), sounds pretty good to me! I should be so lucky!

That's it! I'm packing up all my Okie family and moving to Canada!!! I would have gotten about $35-$50 dollars for this same cake down her in Oklahoma! Way to go Jenteach!

Just $35 - 50 Mencked! The ingredients alone cost that....

Thanks for your comments.

Me too! That is awesome that you got that much! No way I woulda got anymore than $40. Boy do I wish I lived in a place where ppl appreciate how much goes into a cake. Around here I would hear "It's just cake.....I'll go to Walmart." UGGHH!!

i just got back from vacation in vancouver...i think they can get that much because the cost of living is so different...it is much higher than the midwest. for goodness sakes, the burger king was paying $12/hour.

Here in Texas... we'd probably only get $40 - $50, about the same as Mencked in Oklahoma. I guess the $12/hr at Burger King that Bethyboop was talking about puts it all into perspective though.
Congrats on getting $125!

Thanks again everyone! My DH said that I undercharged and so did the woman who bought the cake! I guess I did pretty good with that amount eh?
