this post is somewhat similar to the question I asked in cookies forum, so if you feel a deju vu coming, your not crazy lol. i have recently started decorating cupcakes, and i am wondering the prices for different types of decorations. as I said in my cookie post, I have done my homework and searched the forums, and google, and bakery websites and I am stuck. I'm not asking how to price cupcakes, I'm asking what would you price cupcakes with different decorations. i.e., surely a rolled fondant covered cupcake with fondant decorations can't be the same price as a poured fondant or buttercream? or say it is just buttercream with royal icing toppers? so you can see I'm a  little stuck! maybe I get too detailed but, is that really so bad! :) thanks all for the replies.

If you decorate as a hobby, consider it fun when getting "too detailed." In business, it would be profitable to streamline your work, keep track of your time, and charge accordingly.

so yes if you want to be more detailed take into account the time and costs involved as mimi suggests -- it's good to get paid a good/competitive price for good work -- but if you can find the market to pay for the haute couture cookies/cupcakes go for it -- will help the whole industry -- more power to you!
