thanks everyone! I do feel better now :) They loved the helicopter (thank God being it was my first one). they also sent quite a few people to my site. Where I live, I only know of 4 other custom cake makers. The closest one to me is 30 minutes away(besides Wal Mart and Publix). I tried contacting the lady that does the cakes closest to me and asked her how much she charges for cakes…I explained that I make cakes too and I wanted to be fair in my pricing and I didnt want to undercut her pricing (although my cakes are quite different than hers over all). She wouldnt respond to me once I told her that sooo. The other lady that is 2nd closest to me(an hour away) is a good friend who started decorating after I did, but she started her business a few years before me, so we often compare prices. Her cakes too are different than mine in a sense. The other ladies are both about an hour and a half away and I really dont consider them competition. The cheapest place I have seen around here to get a cake is Wal Mart. They charged $128 for a simple, 3 tier wedding cake (10,8 and 6 inch round). And that is just buttercream.
You can have your cake and eat it too! https://www.facebook.com/carriefreemancakes
