I sell them for $5.-8 dozen depending on the kind. I use the candy melts from the local AC Moore/Michaels, not the real expensive stuff. My family actually like the cheaper stuff better (go figure) I also use the plastic containers that Shoprite puts 1/2 subs in. They gave me one to try and said they would sell them to me if I needed to. They fit 1 to 1 1/2 doz easily. Hope this helps Kiddiekakes Forum SuperStar!

I just made Frankensteins, eyeballs & ghosts. Someone is wanting a price. They are more work because of the details. I just don't know. CakeDiva73 Forum SuperStar!

Hunted all over hells half acre to get the boxes that fit (Uline) and they are so cute, I really like them. Hard trying to find a good price point, something where you actually get orders but not so cheap that you dread getting them, lol Hope you have great sales!! amberkw Regular Member Joined: Jul 06, 2009 Posts: 113 Location: Douglas, GA Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:15 pm  Thanks for the experience. I sold my lemonlicious cake truffles dipped in ghirradelli white choc. for 1.00 each. She called me w/ a complaint. You just can't sell 12. They should be sold in 2-3 doz, and nothing less!

As for the ones on a stick that are decorated, I would probably charge $.75 or $1.00 each (mind you mine are normally $.50/each) JenniferMI Forum Fanatic Joined: Nov 12, 2006 Posts: 1700 Location: Manistee, Michigan Birthday: Dec 22 Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:55 pm  Guess I need to raise my prices....

I live in Hooterville...they don't want to pay for anything - lol Jen Mencked Forum Addict Joined: Jan 04, 2007 Posts: 856 Location: Oklahoma Birthday: Jul 08 Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:24 pm  I sell mine for $5 for 1/2 doz, $8/dozen--mine cost about 1.50 to make per dozen. I have sold them in simple boxes I picked up at HL for half price or simply on clear plastic plates covered in plastic wrap....no fancy decorations or wrapping and people around me are a little reluctant to pay that much...they get them only for super special occasions but everyone who tastes them LOVES them!!

Mine go for same price as my regular truffles (6 for 5 dollars) and people don't complain about the price - it doesn't hurt that I'm in Montreal and cake truffles are not common in these parts Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year  Oldest FirstNewest First     CakeCentral.com Forum Index » General Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum Translation:
