ok, i have read so many things about what to charge. The latest thing Ive read was that most undercharge for their cakes. I have a breakaway cake to do Friday. She needs 25 cupcakes with the cake being a school soccer theme. I told her $50. do you think its too much?
What is the cost of your ingredients and how long will it take to make the breakaway cake? $2.00/cupcake is not unreasonable, depending on your demographic and how detailed the cupcakes are. If you use fondant accents, I would charge $2.75.

It definitely sounds like you are undercharging. What is a breakaway cake?
OP, add up your costs, including ingredients, labor, and per-order overhead (license fees, insurance, etc.), then add markup for your profit based on local market values. $2 for custom cupcakes is probably too low but since you are the only one who knows your cost structure no one else can answer this question definitively.
wonderful! Thanks for your replies! Since we are a small town I try to keep my prices low but profitable. Thanks so much.
