I would LOVE some feedback with regards to how much I should charge for the minis listed in my photos. Some have more extensive work than others. I think the choc. ganache would be the least expensive of the bunch.

I want to market these as specialty gift items from brides to bridesmaids/wedding party. They are made from the Silverwood (I think that's the name) mini pan so they're about 2.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall??

They are very pretty cakes and I think you have a great idea. I don't know what price you should charge for your cakes but I do know that with the cost of good chocolate the ganache shouldn't be your cheapest one.

Good luck

true, but they were the least labor intensive.

no ideas here, huh? doesn't anyone make and sell minis?

I've never sold minis, but to me they're basically one serving of cake, right? I would just use your base serving price per type of cake (fondant covered, bc covered) and then give a minimum order requirement. For example, let's say your regular fondant covered serving is $3.00. Then make the minimum order requirement 1/2 dozen (total of $18.00) or 1 dozen ($36.00). Sounds expensive but well worth the price after looking at your photos.

Wow, those are simply beautiful! I am just a beginner but I CAN say I would pay way more then a "per serving" price for these. Some people are charging upwards of 5-6 bucks for a CUPCAKE so I wouldn't go any lower then that.

Even cupcakes with just a swirl of buttercream at specialty CC shops start at 3 bucks, your talent, packaging and time are worth something too.

In my area, minis are cheap at $10 each!! The average price is $12 and up.

Ok so, first I must say they are beautiful! Second, where are you located? You see you must consider your area before pricing. In new york I saw these minis starting from 8.00 to 14.00 a serving! Salt lake city has a cake designer that sells them at 10.00 a serving. In PR I saw someone selling them for $5.00.

So, check on the web with your competitors and then price you don't want to undercut them or over price them!

$10-15 each - not a dime less.

I sell 3" single serving cakes for $5-7... but they are very plainly ices.

If they were decorated with fondant, etc., the price would increase to $9-10 each. I don't know that people here would pay more than that.
