Jann in TX Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As suggested here on the hive-- I decided to do a 'bake sale' to raise money for a mission trip to Uganda this summer. I got a call today asking for me to make a smaller version of THIS CAKE! I will use fondant instead of buttercream (my fondant is marshmallow fondant and it tastes good!). The mother is a friend and she will be helping me with this. I'll post a picture this weekend if it turns out-- Supplies will cost around $40 I estimate 8-10 hours of work (baking, making fondant and decorating) Any ideas of what I should suggest for her 'donation'?

GailV Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wow, that is amazing, and really sort of priceless. I have no clue. Well, really, I have a clue, but it's probably more than she cares to donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wow, that is some cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wow--I have no idea either. I was going to say $250: $20/hr for 10 hours + supplies. Is that an outrageous amount? Hmmm, I guess it depends on what level your talent is. Are you a $10/hr baker or $20? Does that make sense? I'm not trying to insult, just to gauge your talent level as to the appropriateness of the hourly charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Can you compare to what a bakery would charge for something somewhat similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's a fun cake! Is the Hulk hand a rice krispie treat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supertechmom Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 We just spent $140.00 on a 14 inch square cake double layers with a smaller offset double layer square on top, heavily decorated with a flower bouquet - each handmade, edible and placed carefully. The flowers covered the top square, flowed around the top square, and then continued down the cake and flowed out onto the board. Wsh I could upload a pict but I don't have one. It was gorgeous! I would think. Depending on size you could easily ask 100- 150 without batting an eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
