Sorry. I don't like any food I don't get to eat.

That cake is a WOW, Ali! I enjoy seeing your creations - just not online every day. Sorry it seemed no one was looking.

I think the cake is fabulous. I especially like the teacup with tea in it.

Thanks guys. This cake is actually really simple to do. The techniques are pretty basic except for the rose, which you could leave off. I could do one of these every day and make decent money. Actually, I could do several per day if I could be bothered making that much cake. Haha

I have no idea what you charge for them. I'm thinking you could sell some for upwards of $250 around here. Without being too forward, am I way off? Anyone?
Googled wedding cakes around here .... Minimum $200. The charge per the guest. $4.50 - $5.50 If you have a 100 people at your wedding = $500! One place is "Per serving: $10.50"

I charged $200 for this one. Next time I will charge a bit more because I know it looks great and will taste better.

Tardis. A bit wonky. Not my best work, but it was for a friend and a bit last minute. Her son was happy though, and so was everyone else. This was a lemon cake filled with buttercream and covered with fondant.

I think your flowers are your best work, at least that I've seen ... not meaning to denigrate the cake itself, because your fruitcake, certainly, is divine. But I'd charge folks for the wedding cakes you've posted far far more than you probably did, because your roses are simply heavenly.
If you perfect a few other flowers to the extent of the roses, I'd be upping my fees exponentially. Your artistry is clear, ali. Carry on, perfect more flowers, and charge whatever you want, because you will be able to. For a cake like the one you posted a few days back, the price here would be $800-1500 easily. I know markets differ, but don't undercharge.
