Comment by June Kowalczyk on June 19, 2012 at 1:14pm: Oops I mean right Katy :o)

Comment by June Kowalczyk on June 19, 2012 at 1:13pm: Yup....you got that right Linda :o)

Comment by Katy Nott on June 19, 2012 at 12:04pm: I'm with June on the price. Don't undervalue yourself. They can't do it, you can, that costs.

Comment by June Kowalczyk on June 19, 2012 at 11:39am: Ah
Firstly Dee, $350-500, isn't too much off the mark. With the hours you put into a cake like this + supplies?? Ya, you have to make a profit.
The fishing line. I made crafts, & used it for all sorts of things. The very 1st cake I made, I had skittles attached to fishing line dangling from the grooms hands. I made a guitar cake, the Wilton pan. Finished it, wasn't happy cause I couldn't figure out the "string thing"! Dah, I had the fishing line, & never thought of it at the time. Geez.

Comment by Dee Miller on June 19, 2012 at 10:08am: Oh, and a quick question. Someone at the party asked me if I made this for someone else how much would I charge. I didn't really give an answer, but if I had answered with the amount that popped into my head they would have fainted - $500!!! Haha, that should discourage anyone from wanting it! :) Seriously, I wouldn't have a clue. To me, that is the hardest part - pricing my work!!

Comment by Dee Miller on June 19, 2012 at 10:05am: June - that is a fabulous idea for the strings. Not being a fisherman I don't know but am guessing there is different strength (i.e. thickness) of fishing line? I will definitely check that out.

Katy - that's a hoot! I think he was so shocked that I made this for him, I could have gotten away with cabbaging some of his strings!! :)

Comment by Katy Nott on June 19, 2012 at 8:40am: Or you could have really got yourself in trouble and nicked his spare set of the real things!

Comment by June Kowalczyk on June 18, 2012 at 11:16pm: Cake is absolutely awesome Dee. Try using fishing line for the strings.

Comment by Katy Nott on June 18, 2012 at 6:19pm: Haha Dee - I like the way you put 'material' in there! My husband is the same - his Fender Strat and his motorbike.
