How much do you ususally charge for a cupcake cake? I was thinking the same price that I would charge per dozen.
Any suggestions? |

Where I work we charge $25. for 24 cupcakes arranged in a shape like the ghost one my avatar is. We only charge $14 for 24 plain cupcakes. We don't decorate our cupcakes though, just sprinkles. I would think a home decorator could get more. |

I am a hobbyist so I mainly just charge for ingredients plus a little extra. For small ccc (about 18-20 cupcakes) I charge $20, medium (about 23-3-25 cupcakes) $25 and a large (about 28-30 cupcakes)$30.
I generally use the cake mix extender recipe from this site, which everyone seems to love (I do substitute whole milk for water), this gives me about 28-29 cupcakes per batch. |

I made 14 and charged $15. It was for a friend and she was helping me use word of mouth for some possible orders. I did find out they LOVED them (no pics of course) and wanted a "price list" of items. Haha NO, not going to get caught up in that. Told my friend that she could have them call me and we can discuss what the need was and go from there. She plans on having me make all the cakes/cuppers etc for her when she has a need. |

I charge $1.50 per cupcake for cupcake cakes...kind of high compared to you guys! But I usually do a FBCT on them and decorate it like a regular cake, so I think it's justified. |

I charge $35 for the cupcake bouquet in my photos. It has 19 cupcakes. I've sold several of them with different themes.
I think it depends on where you live. |

I charge a minimum of $2.00 a cupcake if they are for an order. In our area here in CA they sell them in the stores for $4.50 each so people are ok with spending $2-3 a cupcake. I had to bake 500 scratch carrot cake and cream cheese icing cupcakes and I only charged $2.00 a piece, I forgot how much time it takes to make them all from sratch and as I was grating the last carrot I decided if I ever do that again I will charge more  Don't short change yourself |

I charged $50 for the gecko cupcake cake in my gallery and the customer was really surprised, she was expecting to pay a lot more. That ended up about $2 per cupcake. |

Thanks everyone for your help. I truly appreciate it. I quoted her a price of $25 for a 24 cupcake cake. I think that is reasonable. |
