I will make it large enough to feed 50 people and deliver it approximately 15 miles away.
I will take me approximately two and a half hours
Answers:
A lot of factors are involved.
How professional is your work?
How well do you know the people who ordered the cake?
What quality of ingredients will you be using?
The cake in the picture was made in a Wilton bear cake pan and it uses 2 cake mixes which would serve about 30 people. Are you planning to sculpt the cake you make?
If I was doing the cake (30 years of professional experience), I would charge:
Ingredients.......$40.
Labor...............$40.
Delivery Charge $25
Total............. $105.
In reality I would not do the cake at all because I am not licensed to decorate from my home and would not like to chance getting fined not only for accepting money for decorating from an unlicensed kitchen but also for selling a copy righted design when I did not pay the royalties to make it legal.
I would say anywhere from 70 to 100 dollars.
