I literally figured up what it cost me (cake mix(es) plus ingredients, ingredients for icing, fondant, etc.). Then I had to figure up what my time was worth and add that into the mix. I usually charge less for family and friends (donate my time). Sometimes that becomes my gift to them (I may donate the whole cake for a friend's baby shower in lieu of a gift - I make sure they know that the cake is my gift to them).<br /><br />Groceries have gone up since I have made a Pregnant Belly Cake and I know that the cost of groceries varies depending on where you live. It is a little work to figure out what the ingredients cost, but I wrote it all down in a note book so I can glance at it anytime and wrote it in pencil so I can make changes. (Ex. If eggs go up a couple of cents a dozen, I wouldn't change anything, but if they go up a couple of dollars a dozen, then I would adjust my price).<br /><br />It's very hard for me to tell you what to charge, but I hope this helps to give you an idea. You could also call around to local bakeries and ask what a fondant cake that feeds 20 people would cost.Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703292369408285721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408756005220089624.post-23709392223278561432012-08-19T13:32:26.658-05:002012-08-19T13:32:26.658-05:00Hello!

I have the Wilton ball kit for the boobies and a large metal mixing bowl for the belly. This will serve 20+ people. Thank you for your time.

I usually use the other 1/2 of the cake mix and make a dozen cupcakes with it (in matching colors). If you needed to feed more people, you could do more cupcakes or you could do a sheet cake and put the pregnant belly on top of the sheet cake.Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703292369408285721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408756005220089624.post-13110991688217025232010-06-06T08:38:27.002-05:002010-06-06T08:38:27.002-05:00How many people did the cake feed?How many people did the cake feed?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731440486980527929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408756005220089624.post-60296953438881296242009-08-18T09:36:44.843-05:002009-08-18T09:36:44.843-05:00I purchased my mini ball pan from a local cake dec...I purchased my mini ball pan from a local cake decorating/supply store. You can also get it from www.wilton.com if you can't find it locally (I would check at Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics, Michaels, and restaurant supply stores in your area).Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703292369408285721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408756005220089624.post-14493042681266711262009-08-13T21:25:43.671-05:002009-08-13T21:25:43.671-05:00can you tell where i can find the mini ball pan o...can you tell where i can find the mini ball pan oh and i love your cake good job<br />carrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408756005220089624.post-84304742953928275382009-05-23T20:13:22.506-05:002009-05-23T20:13:22.506-05:00Thanks!
