If you go to their website, they charge from $17 up to $29 per dozen. We used to do cakeballs at the bakery I worked for and we got $21 per dozen plus extra for any extra design on them...which was nothing like these!

For the basic ones I would charge no less than $2 per pop (even the simplest ones are still time consuming!) For custom ones, it does not surprise me to charge $3-$4 depending on the detailing.

Those are some gorgeous cake pops!

I just did 18 monkey cakepops this week and boy they are alot of work.They took me about 5 hours from start to finish.I charged $3.00 each...I can make more money on a cake in less time.I didn't really enjoy making them either.Too fiddle diddle...

They are very cute and I will make them for my kids etc...but I doubt any customers would be willing to pay $5.00 each just for your time...

Same here...to get an equivalent profit margin to cake on even basic cake pops we would need to charge in the range of $3.50-$4 each. The market really doesn't support that price so we don't make cake pops.
