Advice on pricing dummy cakes

I have been asked by a friend to make a 3 tier, 2 tier and 1 tier cake and 24 cupcakes for displaying on her furniture at a craft fair. She wants them decorated quite simply and in a vintage theme as the furniture is the item on sale not the cakes. I just wondered if anyone had advice on how much to charge for dummy cakes as I don’t normally charge for cakes as it is a hobby of mine and I normally just do them as gifts.

Take in to account the cost of the dummies you use, the amount of fondant, your time to decorate the cakes and the boards, any ribbons or other items used. It would be slight cheaper than pricing up a normal cake as you don’t have to factor in the cost of the ingredients, time to bake etc.. Hope this helps. x
