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)

OP is going to come back and quote some obvious figure soon...I'll personally feel very deflated after the wait.

...off to get chocolate to help with fall out.

Wanky.

I bet she's too scared to answer now as she probably went to do something and now has 300+ posts wanting an answer

I am really annoyed. OP has lured us into her web of sponge with half-promises of a price reveal and has then left us, salivating for caked desperate to know what she was offered.

If this isn't illegal it should be.

We have RIGHTS you know!

Does anyone remember the Gimp Dog cake? God that was fucking funny.

I'm hanging in there as I find you all mildly amusing and it's passing the time! ❤️🎂

Maybe she was offered £500 and usually asks for £1,200 or something, and has just realised that she is OVER-pricing . . .

To be fair if the OP is crap at cake making she might not get offered £150 for her efforts.

I'd pay one whole English pound.

I'm guessing the "friend" offered £45

Will take up the bait to post cake photos to pass time until OP returns with an answer...

Coffee walnut with maple cream icing...

Lolllllllllll

The OP posted at 6pm, it's not even 9pm yet ..: calm down people

I don't even like cake.

God, I really want some cake now.
Lemon drizzle preferau

Preferably!

For the love of cake I need to know.

I'll guess friend offered £20.

To be fair the friend may know how good the OP is at baking and is expecting this?

Come on op!

I've just had some cake and I'm holding this thread responsible. 13 pages of cake references had brainwashed me into needing to eat some. although mine was a fruit cake with icing not a fancy gold/black dip-dyed creation

I reckon the friend has seen the thread and sent a stroppy text to OP so she's too embarrassed to come back and update.

I wouldn't pay £200, that's just extortionate. £80 as it doesnt seem very big. So she offered you £35?

At least £100 for that, nearer £150 I reckon. How much did she offer?

I would pay £3.72 for this guacamole, if that's any help?
