Hi, Have a question on a client wanting a huge cupcake and adding regular size cupcakes (100 of them) for an ice cream social for a retirement party.   Would it be appropriate to charge $3 a cupcake? Also, if I do not have a cupcake pan could I use an 8' round w/the 1/2 of the ball pan for the top.  Also want to incorporate hydrangea (thinking of making out for fondant/gp on top of the big cup cake and then some little flowers on the individual cupcakes?  Any thoughts would be welcomed.  thank you

My "normal" price for cupcakes is $3 each.
