After making so today i think i would have to charge any where from .25 to 1.00 for each flower, depending on what flower it was.

I've done a few gumpaste flowers.....there is no way I would charge only $1 for a flower....maybe for a quick finger flower, but even that would be pushing it!

For roses I charge around $5 each, but I find what takes the most time is actually putting the flowers into a spray. So whilst the flower cost might seem high it also includes the labour to put everything together.

One flower can take all day, depending on the how detailed it is. At .25 to $1.00 per flower you are paying yourself less than minimum wage, you really need to think about upping your prices.
