To expect to be paid more than half? (Pic included)

[MrsA2015]

Background: I'm a home baker using decent/top quality ingredients in my cakes, friends and family buy off me for special events and am trying to kick start a little baking business from home ( after receiving loads of compliments and encouragement which I'm thankful for!) A friend has requested a cake (pictured) and offered well below the asking price knowing what quality I use and usually the one to berate others if they take the mick when it comes to price. I don't over charge and usually find I've undrecharged when adding up costs ( new to this). How much would you expect to pay for this cake? I'm just feeling a little upset really, I love her and will still make it just surprised at asking to pay less than half. I understand mates rates and all...
Before you ask
Yes she can afford it
I don't buy wholesale ingredients
No I didn't stick to my price (out of shock)

How much? Are you going to do it or have you changed your mind?

"It's just ludicrous. It's cake. It gets cut up and eaten???"

crunchymum what an odd thing to say.

A dessert in a restaurant gets cut up and eaten and costs about a fiver per person. That cake looks like it serves about 40 which funnily enough ends up £200.

People also remember cakes. Just because you don't keep a cake forever doesn't mean it doesn't have any value. What a weird way to think.

Cigarettes literally vanish into thin air and they cost a lot.

5p for the Cartier bag to take it home in?

FFS people, OP only started this thread 2 hours ago. Maybe she's having dinner or walking the dog or hosting an unexpected visitor. You know, getting on with things in real life?!

How many portions is the cake? Can't really say an amount without knowing that.

fgs I can't believe we still don't know how much.
Do we even know the size of the cake? because I'm struggling with how people could put prices on it. It could be one of those teeny, tiny, made in a thimble cakes that you bake with doll's house pots and a tea-light.

Cartier bag = carrier bag.

She's a pisstaker but not that much of a pisstaker!

Omg I have just scrolled through the whole flipping thread and the OP hasn't updated.

But I have learned that cakes are very expensive.

I would've guessed about £50. Disclaimer - I know nothing about cakes.

Are we still guessing??
I'm out..,

If this is a wind up it's a very clever one!

Place marking by admitting I ate 4/5 of a carrot cake today

Doesn't the title give a small hint? I think her friend offered half of whatever op asked for.

I would have guessed £60 but I see now that was clearly too low!!

The peacock cake is stunning, I'll pay half the cost for it.

OP is good at making us wait, she should have used delay tactics when friend asked for cheap cake.

I'd never pay £200 for a cake. I'd rather buy 100 co-op battenburgs.

Chipped I thought the Cartier bag was deliberate because it was such a posh cake

I've decided OP hasn't been offered anything, she is trying to work out how much she would get paid for this cake. This thread is market research.

Room101 another gorgeous cake (my wedding cake!) Tasted deeeeeelicious too. I need to know what she's offered to pay OP, I've now checked in 3 times!

Mmmm battenburg!

Oh no - now I have a craving for battenburg!

Can you make me this OP? I can stretch to a fiver.

What the fucking fuck I've just read this whole thread for no reason

Plums I think you're right

£53.40 and she's throwing in a slightly used troll doll and half an elderly camembert for free.
