sizes, flavors, fillings?  Gourmet products and ganache will make for quite a different price point than a boxed vanilla cake with a crisco based American buttercream.  And in caking, size does make a difference for the purpose of pricing as well.

Life begins at 325° F, and, yes, that IS powdered sugar in my hair.

Agreed!! And I just want to give this cake a big kiss! I am in love!

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)

Didn't say so in my first post, but I'm in agreement.  Love, love, love this cake.

I can give mine when I know how big it was and what was inside.

Aww, you guys made me blush! Thanks for the amazing kind words...sorry, this is the first time I posted something like this....

 

WASC recipe with boxed cake. half butter/shortening vanilla buttercream. Topper is styrofoam, square 6' and 8'. The rest fondant.

 

I use direct sunlight for my pics, then edit it with instagram, then use picstitch....all free apps!
