I had an order for 18 petit fours for a baby shower. I got my inspiration from all you guys here. Babies were gumpaste, blankets MMF w/RI accents, cake was pound cake w/ a good soaking of Grand Marnier/Sugar solution, poured fondant icing. I had a blast doing these. Customer was very pleased. Crazy me, I had quoted $1.5 ea. What was I thinking??? But it was really good practice. Thanks to you all and thanks for looking!

CUTE! I can't imagine making so many baby and baby blankets. I love the detail on each one. And boy, did you under charge. What a bargain that lady got.

OMG,the price charged might cover only the labor of making the babies.Add that to the ingredients used in baking , MMF, etc. Next time take all that into consideration because those petit fours cost much more.Congrats!
