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?

That's different if you aren't professional without their overheads, more than £30.

I'm sorry I wouldn't be happy with that if I had ordered a professional cake.

It looks very similar to those homemade cupcakes with random confectionary stuck upon them.

I wouldn't buy it

Not to my taste but I think it looks great if you like that kind of thing. As a pp said, I prefer my cakes to look like cake, but lots of people clearly go for this kind of stuff.

Re cost. I wouldn't be willing to pay more than £35-40 for a cake like that, as it isn't that dissimilar in appearance from a lot of much cheaper supermarket cakes. I never really understand the people who spend hundreds of pounds on cakes though!!

The cake is too small for all that decor on. I'm guessing £75.

How much did it cost you to make?
That plus some for your time.

If you made it, you decide how much to charge! Work out how much it cost to make and then decide if you want to charge anything for your time or if the making of it is a gift.

How much did it cost you to make?

I think it looks gorgeous by the way!

That's the issue, I didn't want to charge anything, but the person I made it for is insisting...I think I'll say £20, that'll cover the ingredients.

That would cost around £90 here from a professional cake baker.

I would not pay for this cake as I don't like the piled on look.
Do you have food hygiene certificates? I know you're an amateur but if you have the qualifications that would add to the price I would pay.

It looks fantastic. I'd pay £50- £70.

That seems fair to me

I would say £50 so I think you are right that £20/£25 would be a good amount. Well done OP I would be made up if someone made that for me!!

I think it looks amazing. I would pay £50 for it.

I think it looks great and I’d expect to pay £50-60 for it.

Not to my taste but I can appreciate how lovely it looks- well put together and the small details like the chocolate drip and the buttercream on top look really well done. Considering the 3 flavours, the amount of extras on top etc I'd pay £65+ for a non-professional to make that.

£65-£75.

I think it looks great and would pay £60-£80. You clever lady!

Migraine on a plate for me😔 but it looks great. Very well made with lots of detail. £60?

Did you make it as a gift for someone? Why are they insisting on paying?

Oh my @Greensleeves !
That is my idea of chocolate heaven.
Well done

I'd be very unhappy, but my brief would have included pictures so they knew this was not an option.

That cake looks beautiful. You’re a very talented lady.

Oh mumsnet will be disappointed your post is because your having a Nice Off

Looks amazing. It depends. ...
If they are a friend I would state the cost of ingredients and add a tenner.
