Do u have pricing for cake? Hopefully it is done in a way you can adapt to caleballs?
If not, u need to sit down figure out the time, figure out utilities and ingredients, put a price on your time, and look for compeition.
Being small and fiddly, and often very detailed (ala bakerella cutting sprinkles in half... No thanks!) they will come out pricey!

This lady sells 12 for $21. That's $1.75 a piece. I was going to suggest $2 each.

Persoally-$2 each would not be enough for me. That is what I charge per cupcake with a swirl of icing-and they are quick! I tried the reindeer pops at Christmas and what a pain. Cute...but a pain. Many steps-dip, attach pieces (where do you put them while the pieces dry?) , add the details, maybe more dry time & packaging. Lots of handling. I'd say $5 each and then I would make them bigger since the ingredients aren't as expensive as the TIME icon_smile.gif

$5 a pop would be awesome!
