Hi, I have 2 customers who are requesting Petits fours: one for a tea party and the other for a wedding. Since this will be my 1st time making them, I don't know how much to charge for them.

some will be filled and others not.

Thanks so much for your help icon_smile.gif

Well, I think that you first need to decide what you're going to cover them with. Will it be fondant (rolled or poured) or chocolate? Then, what size will they be? Will they also be decorated?

I think the smaller and more intricate they are, the more you should charge for them.

I would consider them 1 serving a piece, so take what you charge per serving - then add lots more money for your time! Those little suckers are WAY more time consuming than a regular cake!!I only charge $1.75 a serving - but it would be like $3.00 a piece for petits fours.!!
