I have been asked to dp single cc's in tc pots for a bridal luncheon on Sept 11 after a woman saw my champagne idea singlets...... I will of course tie ribbon around them but what would I charge her for them? We are talking like a 2 inch pot with cc dropped into it and decorted like a flower or maybe even like grass with some drop flowers or rose buds on top.... price point wise it would less than a buck to make, time was what would you all say to charge for thes little boogers? Imagine this one in a little terra cotta pot and not a champagne glass!

my cupcakes with just buttercream swirl and no filling are $1 /each. I think I have seen those pots for $1 a piece, and don't forget the ribbon plus your time.

So I Would probably end up around $3.00 as long as it was one of my everday cake flavors, but if they wanted something additional thenI have a price per serving listed out.

LOL icon_redface.gificon_redface.gificon_redface.gif HA HA HA I thought you were inviting single CC members to a bridal luncheon. Wondering how the terra cotta pot fit in. Ok, figured it out CUP CAKE. (sorry)

Hey girlie! You know where I stand on this one....it's all about profit margin to ensure you're making what you want to make! Figure out your exact cost and multiply to figure out your profit margin, which then dictates your price! Good luck! This one's gonna launch ya!

alright I retract some of my comments =) I did a little bit of quick research online and I can find the small terra cotta pots for 33 cents locally, cheaper if I ordered larger qty's online. So $3.00 Would be my base price for just a swirl and small ribbon. I would have a minimum requirement of 2 dozen for an order like this.

If they wanted something more than a rose bud, or filling, or specialty cake flavor, or specialy icing then addtional $
