I could use some suggestions on pricing. I am making 60 sm. rose buds to top a sheet cake. they are the wilton fondant roses that you cut out with the flower cutter and then form around the centers they only have 1 row of petals. Then for her wedding I am making 300 larger rose buds for the cupcakes. What do you all charge?

I would check out this link or some others. Consider the time and effort it would take you to make them vs. purchasing them.

holy cow, I've spent three days working on gum paiste roses...and I would NOT charge $0.87 per rose. that is crazy!
although I don't have a clue what to actually charge... I am getting ready for a bridal show, and am in the middle of writting a business plan and need to figure that out.
so, I anyone has input on how to charge for those, I would appreciate it also.!

I would charge $2.00 per rose bud and $3.00 per rose. That is a fair price I think
