Open Question: How much should I charge a friend for decorating a wedding cake?
Posted on Sep 04, 2009 under Wedding Cake Toppers Q&A |Hello!
A friend has asked me to make and decorate a wedding cake for her cousin this September. It’s going to be part of a series of desserts so it’s only a round (possibly flavoured) sponge cake, no tiers. The cake pan is arouund 25cm diameter. Apricot glaze top, layer of marzipan then layer of icing 
Usually I wouldn’t charge too much but she wants it to be covered in marzipan roses (if you’ve heard of Peggy Porshen, it’s a like her ‘Romantic Rose Tower Cake’ yet not as big and towery).
Here’s a link for a bit of an idea:

On top of that will be wired decorative butterflies which cost around £1.50 each
Help of estimating how much to charge would be lovely cheers I’m not too worried, just last time I decorated for a friend, she kind of took advantage and undercharged me (think Monica catering for the funeral in Friends, eek).
Thanks!
