Decorating By Rachel8648 Updated 29 Jul 2009 , 11:11am by cylstrial
I have a customer that wants 300 carrot cupcakes with a gold foil liner, do I ice with buttercream or creamcheese, they want "grass" on top of them all with handmade sugarpaste golf clubs and balls with gold "silverette" candies as tees. Please help me as I'm not too sure what to charge Thanks! Sorry can't upload the picture
I would use cream cheese icing (traditional) and charge a MINIMUM of $5 per cupcake
I'm just worried about not having the cream cheese stiff enough to pipe the "grass" any suggestions?

Just add more PS to get it to the right consistency for piping... My normal CC icing is VERY soft, but when I need to pipe with it, I just add more PS and it's perfect.
Rachel - Here's a list of cake central acronyms so that you'll know the lingo!

300 hand modelled clubs/balls/tees?
Yeah, it's gonna be A LOT of hard work for her. She should charge out the ying yang. Or she could tell them that she can put one tee on a cupcake, one ball on a cupcake, etc. That would mean she would only have to make 300 golf items, versus 900 golf items (with 3 on each cupcake).
Jamie.. it's my signature. Choc chip cookies is how my DH and I got together! Besides.. I can't find another avatar that I really like. Still looking.

I actualy love it, it's funny! Like a hypnotizing "eat me nowwwwwwwwww" cookie!
I saw some golf ball candy molds that might work. You could use gp or chocolate.
Here's a pic done with what looks like the candy mold:
