I have a customer that wants 20 single serving size or individual tiffany boxes for her daughters bridal shower. I just emailed her back and asked if she wanted them filled and if she was supplying plates for them or wanted cake boards. Just to get a better idea for pricing. What would you charge for these, unfilled on foil boards?

I'd probably do them like petit fours only make them 2 X 2 X 2 covered in a poured icing, then make the "lid" of the box and the bow out of fondant.

For this I'd charge $12- $15 each.......decorating mini's is a real pain.

I would definitely be in the $12-$15 range. I assume anyone who wanted this would realize that they want 20 individually decorated cakes. I agree with Dee about the size, but I would cover with fondant. That would give the smooth box look and keep a consistent look from top to sides.

With a little planning, it can go quickly if you cut the boxes all the same size with a ruler, make all the bows at the same time, cut ribbon strips at the same time, etc.

That is what I was thinking. Like a little assembly line. Ive done a large tiffany box for this same client before. It was my first box. She is a very good customer and she hasnt booked me yet for her daughters wedding cake. So I might give her a little discount... maybe!

I was also thinking of just baking a jelly roll layer and using square cookie cutter and cutting out the layers of cake, like the cake lady did on amazing cakes show with the ring. That might make it easy too.

I love making mini cakes. I would think the $12 - $15 range is good but I don't charge. I prefered using a square cake tin for the mini cakes. If you don't cut straight, it really does show. My DH tried helping me and the cake sides where angled. It really made the day hard.

I think the square cookie cutter is the way to go. Make sure the cake is well chilled, through and through. You want the cut-outs from the center of the cake to be as crisp as the edges. Probable several hours in the coldest part of your fridge.

Remember, that pricing is solid. This will be a huge visual impact. Mix fondant for all at the same time so you don't have wacky color variation. Good luck!

I saw the subject line and thought "Charge out the ying yang"! Those things are going to take you A LOT of time!

cylstrial .. Im still laughing. I hope the assembly line will speed them up. Or it could look like a I love Lucy episode.
