Most of time I won't recreate a show piece for an actual order because so much time is spent working on the cake. Weeks worth of work went into the Phantom and real cake would just get funky after a while.
The bakery I worked at had a minimum starting price of $250 for a tiered or custom cake. For a 5 tier, it started around $700 and that covered basic buttercream decorations
I love the candles!
