I made some cupcakes for a BBQ and my friend wants to order a dozen.
I have no idea what to charge. I don't run a business or anything, just like to bake. Please help!
Chocolate Cupcakes dipped in Ganache w/ Mocha Buttercream and a Strawberry dipped in Ganache on top.

I do only cupcakes and I would charge between $26 and $30 for a dozen of these.
But charge whatever you feel is appropriate to cover the cost of labor, ingredients, and enough to make a profit. 
Do a search here on CC for threads discussing "how much to charge", there's probably a hundred of them by now.
Quick answer - ZERO if you are unlicensed and live in a state that does not allow baking out of your home. 
Realistically, charge whatever you want. Do you want to make a profit? Then only you can do the math on that. Ingredients+time+packaging=$.
You don't have a location listed so there is no way of knowing what other bakeries charge in your area, but you can't compare to a bakery since you have no overhead and probably aren't legal. Example, in San Francisco I'd charge $42/dozen plus $1 per strawberry for those. But I am also licensed, have overhead, labor, etc to consider, use organic/gourmet ingredients and bake totally from scratch.
Good Luck!

Thank you for your input. I'm actually in Japan and home business' are allowed.
Japan!!! How cool! Well then, I have no clue Add that to your location!
Then to help put your pricing into perspective, your cupcakes would be considered gourmet if they are from scratch and you could charge on the upper end of the pricing spectrum for your area. You will need to do some internet shopping to find your price since most of us will have no clue on the pricing. Keep in mind that fancy packaging is expensive and some sites will reflect that. If you will have more economical packaging, you can lower your price a little. Good luck!
