Well, it really depends on your costs. Calculate your costs per cupcake and then add your price for time and efforts.

I charge $15 per dozen cupcakes with just a simple swirl, which I KNOW is super cheap.

Living in CA you could have your price quite a bit higher. umm.. okay i just took a look at your halloween cupcakes and if they are any way near that than you should be charging at least $2.50 per cupcake!

YOU ARE AWESOME!
