Ok, so I know that prices vary between different areas, but I was wondering what some of you would charge for this cake. I booked the job months back, when my prices were extremely too low and my skill level was significantly lower, and I'm trying to get a better idea of how much my work should go for so I can price my cakes accordingly in the future. Thank you!

Have you already made the cake? How much did you charge?

Yes, that's my work. I'm embarrassed to say that I charged $110.

Cute cake. What size are the tiers?

Thank you! They're 8 and 12 inches. The topper is fondant filled with solid white chocolate for stability.

I would have charged $320-$400. I suggest you do a search on CakeCentral. Pricing is a well-worn topic and the threads are packed with info that can help you in pricing all your cakes.
