Ok, so I'm a clueless dork. Sorry...

it looks like gumpaste gerberas
I use gumpaste and Jem cutters to make them Im sure I've seen the cutters on GSA's site.
yeah...i'd just buy them..i think you ladies (and i'm sure its the majorty!) are crazy for making all you own gumpaste flowers...how tedious. by the time i'd be done making all of those flowers, whatever they were willing to pay up to wouldnt even be worth it to me! jmo.

In South Africa we dont have suppliers of gumpaste flowers, so here we HAVE to make them ourselves 
I find it very therapeutic to make flowers, so dont find it tedious at all!
K, its quite fast to make those, if you have the cutters of course. I normally do them production style. Our currency is different, so cant help you on a price, but i normally work out how long it would take me and charge per hour.
I start my cupcakes at $2. Having just done over 250 this past weekend, one wedding with a flower on each cupcake, another with painted butterflies please take it from me and make it worth you while.
It took me 4 hours just to do the butterflies!
If you start at $2.50 I would go up to $3 maybe even $3.50 with the flowers. Good luck, I am sure they will be lovely!
Oh and someone on here recently posted a picture of cupcakes with beautiful gerberas and butterflies. Maybe you could find it in the gallery and PM for a how to. Other wise if you get Wedding Cakes Design Source magazine there are instructions in the newest edition.
HTH!

Here is the photo I was referring to above:

That's why you need to price your product to account for the time you took to make them. If your client wants something that's time consuming then as a cake decorator you need to explain to the client that it's time consuming and give them the price. Let them decide if they are willing to pay the price or not.
