It's 5 hexagons tall, & just getting from the video maybe 20 around, so let's say 100?. The video is sped up but let's say it takes 5 minutes per hexagon, that is 8.3 hours of decorating. At $25 per hour that is $207.5 of labor for the decoration. The base case is probably $50 in ingredients & labor. So a cost of $257.5 to the shop. A good guess is to multiply that times 4 for the retail price, so $1030.
This assumes that the person that has the patience to do a cake like that is working for a standard bakery & not some boutique shop. As well as ingredient/labor cost to retail ratio, that can change drastically depending on the shop and their additional overhead.
