She actually has made a number of cakes that people have paid her for, but she charges them a pittance. It comes down to her having a hard time taking money for something she enjoys doing so much. But the woman has two babies and a husband to feed! I really hope that people will see how talented she is and start commissioning cakes for closer to a market price. The corset cakes? I've looked around online to find pricing and see similar creations, hers are WAY better, and it seems people charge upwards of $150.00 for them! I mean, I get it, it takes 4-5 hours, and since she makes everything from scratch the costs runs close to $40.00 in raw materials alone. But damn. Anyhow, I'm very proud of her, and I hope that she will get to a point where she can make a decent secondary income from something she loves so much.

the past two cakes she's made for me, I've paid for the ingredients, but nothing for her labor. That shit takes 4-5 hours.
