Hello everyone, I was just wondering how much is a reasonable price for cakeballs. I made a box of 40 to send to work with my husband. They were chocolate cake with walnuts and amerato liquor dipped in chocolate, peanutbutter with chocolate swirl, powder sugar and coco powder. Now he works with a guy that wants 2 boxes just like this but i'm not sure what to charge. Someone please help.

Thanks Angelia

different prices--a friend charges .50 cents each, some charge by the dozen, by the pound--50 cents each--$6.00 a dozen or $20.00 a box (for yours) sound reasonable to me

I agree! I charge $6.00/ dozen and now call them Cake Truffles! Someone here coined the name-makes them sound more $$. And after all they are unique and delicious!

I was going to start calling them Gourmet Cake Balls. LOL! Definitely cake truffles sounds better! But there's no truffles in them, would that be confusing to the consumer?
