Would you pay for this cake? And how much would you expect it to cost?

[Greensleeves]

The brief was "chocolate heaven"... would you be happy with this? And how much would you pay for it?

Professional cakes are crazy expensive, around here it could definitely cost £75.

I'd expect to pay £90 at least. Very impressed you made it yourself, it's gorgeous! I would be delighted to cut into this. If you were making it again for an adult I think it would be lovely to replace the ice cream cones and wafers with some ferrero rocher.

There some nasty comments on here. I think the bake looks fab and quality it's only that for a small cake it has too much going on.

Cakes are expensive and most cake makers stick things ready made on that type of cake. It's not some type of Christening cake where you would need all the little single hand details. Clearly some don't order cakes!

Yes I'd be happy with it. I'd pay what the going rate was for custom made cakes in the area

Yes, looks good to me! £25/30 ish?

It must have cost a lot to make so charge for ingredients

(Should add, I live abroad where things are significantly cheaper than in the UK so converting costs to fit the UK it would be at least double that)

Depends whether they have use cheap chocolate ( I’d say the have) real vanilla etc. it looks very elaborate but no real art home into it. I suppose £40 but I would not like it.

To me its a bit confusing with the ice cream, and cherries and filling having a neopolitan affect, none of that is chocolate heaven. Take those off and the biscuits/doughnuts and it perfectly fits the chocolate heaven brief. Id pay £60.

No idea of price but it looks fantastic . Your friend must be delighted.

Lol it really makes me smile how in MN world everyone 'hates' cake chocolate sugar etc and would rather have a raisin ryvita as a treat 🙈 in the real world people eat cake as a treat
OP it's great- you achieved what they asked for

I would say £70 ish, I mean it’s diabetes in a cake but if that’s what they asked for it’s fulfilled the brief!

I remember reading a thread whether a poster said they serve salmon, kale, new potatoes and water at kids parties because cake and sausage rolls is ‘disgusting’ 😆 some people try too hard

but I digress

I would pay for it , you followed the brief you were given plus a bit extra. I'd say about £60 would be fair , at £20 it's costing you even if you only want to cover ingredients , cake board and electric

Omg it's absolutely amazing and stunning.
It looks if a lot of trouble went into it and a lot of love.
For this standard I'd pay £60 plus for this cake.
It's not easy to make something look this beautiful.
It's not just a case of shoving chocolate decorations on a cake.
The fans are utterly gorgeous.

@Wouldloveanother it's literally so far removed from reality at times it's comical

I really can't believe how nasty some people are on here. It looks fab! I do love chocolate though so would be perfect for me.

The cake looks stunning. You’ve done a fabulous job. Well done.

Maybe charge your friend £40.

Looks lovely. Couldn’t guess at a price though

I think that’s great- you’re very talented and I’d pay £50 for it.

Thats very kind of you@Greensleeves

It looks fab

Seems there's a lot of miserable, judgemental and just plain nasty people on here

It looks amazing op 😊

I think it's a really nice cake. You must be quite talented.
I would pay a few hundred £ for the cake if I had the money.

I think it looks great too. Can’t believe some of the snooty comments. I’m intrigued how you have random terrys orange segments, French fancies, individual chocolates etc. Did you already have them? Or did you buy them separately? If so that must’ve cost you a small fortune! £20 is really reasonable - they’ll be chuffed to bits (if they really mean it about paying…)

I wouldn't buy a professionally made cake, but I'd be happy with that from the brief, although I would query the ice-creams!
I'm guessing it was around £65
