A lady who works at my sons school asked me to make her a bridal cookie bouquet when she saw the teacher bouquets I made for the teachers. I never know how much to charge since I'm just starting out. She said to just do what ever and to keep it at around $30.00. Does this look like it has enough cookies to warrent the $30.00 price tag? Would you pay that much for it if it were you? I'm looking for some honest input here since my husband sometimes tends to tell me everything looks good (when he isn't even looking at it icon_mad.gif ) I'm going to attempt to attach it to this post but if it doesn't work the picture is in my photos. TIA!

Yes I would say so. Your cookie bouquets are very pretty. The details are awesome. I would love to do cookies but I am so scared to try. icon_redface.gif

That bouquet is definetly worth more than $30. For all 7 cookies packagked and decorated like that it should $45 if not $50. Don't undersell yourself. Those are really fantastic.

Your bouquet looks fabulous, and is worth way more than $30, IMO icon_biggrin.gif

I totally agree with "lish." If you look at the websites for cookie bouquets the average price is almost 7-8 dollars a cookie when you break down the cookies plus materials to wrap them with. As a professional decorator, I never let anyone forget that the time involved is also what you are paying for. Great job! Make sure to value yourself and don't ever underestimate your talent. icon_biggrin.gif

About a month ago, I paid 69.00 dollars for a 7 cookie CB. 57 for the bouquet and 12 for delivery. It was very pretty, but yours is spectacular! 30.00 dollars is a steal.

Yes, I would pay $30. Cookies here go for $5.00 a cookie and that is just the cookie. By the way, they look great!
