Do you charge rental fees for cupcake stand?
How much do you suggest? How much of a deposit should I charge?
I thought about $10. rent and $25. deposit. The value is $50.
The whole cake and cupcake order is only $45.
I really appreciate your advice!

I always have a damage/return deposit on my items. With the exception of one time everything has been returned. In that case the deposit covered my costs.
Your $ amounts seem fair.
The deposit should ALWAYS be at least the value of the item... if it will cost you $50 to replace the stand, should they damage it or not return it, then the deposit should be $50.

I agree.
I only charge rental fees on items that are subject to wear and tear. I don't charge rental for Stress Free Supports cuz those babies will survive a nuclear holocaust!
In addition to replacement value, my deposit includes overnight shipping fees for items that need to be ordered (such as Stress Free Supports )
You're so right Diane... the deposit should include the TOTAL COST it will take to replace it (cost of item + tax + shipping), not just the item.
