I've made 3 cookie bouquets for halloween & filled a witches cauldron with a dozen decorated sugar cookies. Not too sure what to charge. Any ideas?
The bouquets have 3 cookies each. For some reason I'm unable to post them below. but i'll post them in my photos. Thank you!

Here's IndyDebi's cookie bouquet pricing. A 3 cookie bouquet is $21. So for the 12 cookie basket, you would probably want to charge around $75 or $80.

I'm definitely not a pro... but these cookies did take a long time! And here I was going to charge $12-15 for the coffee mug bouquet & $20 for the cauldron of cookies!

I think you need to look at your market base, if you overprice you wont sell any. $80 for adozen cookies sounds extreme to me.

I'm selling to coffee mug bouquets for $12 and the witches cauldron with 12 cookies for $15. I'm only selling to friends & family, to cover costs & get me to practice! Now i've gotta work on bosses day bouquets.
