5" and 8" vanilla Madeira cakes filled with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream and covered in pale pink sugarpaste with modelling paste decorations.
ked aren't I! Lol. My youngest Madison is a huge Peppa Pig fan. Brooke (4) is into Barbie & Disney princesses and my eldest Cody loves transformers and Beast Quest. Woh, it's a lot to try to be an expert in when they try to talk to you about it. Txx…

ure she showed me (I've attached it) I could tweak it a bit, had to include the number 3 somewhere on it.
The cake itself was going to cost me $25 as it was a good vanilla cake with a syrup using vanilla pods and also Swiss meringue layer/crumb coat as she doesn't like buttercream and fondant decoration like the picture of that cake.
With the ingredients cost, and my decorating time and delivery and all that, I quoted $80. Is that unresonable? I know everywhere is different but were you are, is that bad? She messaged me back saying she couldn't possibly justify spending that much on a cake for a 3 year old but thanks anyway. I thought it was pretty reasonable. I know one lady who would have charged her $130, and another lady who wouldn't do it for her at all because anything under $150 is a "waste of her time" and another lady who would charge only $95 so I'm below all of them being my first "paid" cake. Was a bit disappointing. I even offered to make a peppa pig cake topper for $35 as a substitute to put on her supermarket cake and she said no too much.…
usiness and asked for a quote on a peppa pig cake. She wanted a 10" round with a nice vanilla cake flavour.

tage, so not up on some of these tv characters. Did babysit my great nephew, 3yrs, niece, 7 mos this past Saturday. We watched Despicable me....which he loves. Waiting.....patiently??? for grnadchildren,...hoping it will be soon. I don't know how u manage your caking with such young children. of course, have forgotten how much energy I USE to have when my kiddies went to bed. Guessing hubby must be a great help as well. Love my hubby dearly, but my sweet European/Polish guy that he is, he always thought that cake decorating was 'frivilous". So I had to go out and get a "real" job!! It was too much for me to work p/part time, ferry children to there sports/events, AND do cake decorating. Simply was too busy & no time. Hence, since retirement, just getting more into the hobby/selling now.…
