So I've been asked to make cakeballs on sticks for a bridal shower....not sure quantity yet. Any idea of what to charge for something like this? They are going to be simple cakeballs...no fancy decorations.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sillyred, I charge between 75 cents and 1.50 each for my cake truffles...my husband laughs too muh if I call them cake balls HTH!

I charge $15/doz without the sticks

lol I know. " cake balls" I also charge $15 a dozen. I think that's a pretty fair price.

I charge $15 for 2 DZ. I know that's not that much but it really doesnt take much of my time to make them. LOL

If they are for shower favors am I correct in assuming they will be individually wrapped and tied with ribbon? as well as the sticks. I think the $15 a dozen price is ok for unwrapped but for favors I would go with individual pricing in the 1.50-$2. per each depending on size.

Does every one use a cookie dough scooper to make the ball? LOL I'm sorry I'm like the rest of ya'lls husbands and laugh at saying balls! LOL It's Friday...

I use cookie dough scooper for my bites. I have different sizes because when I first started I couldn't make up my mind. But, I use my smallest size when I do bridal shows and my largest for orders. The one I use for orders, I got from pampered chef and my smallest from our local cake store.

Sorry, nothing to add to topic but glad to hear I'm not the only one married to a 12 year old....I had to start calling them truffles too

I'm a 12 yr old some times smokey!!! LOL

I've been trying to get everyone to call them Cruffles!

Help me out!

I charge $16/dz in a gift box and $25/dz if they are special shapes, like baby chicks. All my prices are on my website

Thanks alvarezmom! That was a dummy I made for the home page...now if I could just sell one. I was in a big debate whether to call them cruffles or cake truffles, but no one hear has ever heard of them sooo cake truffles worked better.

How bout' them cake balls y'all? them cake balls sure do taste good! lol Whoooooo Wheeeeeee ! Look at the size of them there cake balls on the counter there! She sure do know how to make them there cake balls just right! lol ..............

OR..........
Pardon me.......your Cruffles are absolutely divine! I have never experienced such a delicate flavor of pure bliss until I tasted your Cruffles today! Absolutely the best companion to my afternoon tea! You have definetily mastered the art of the Cruffle! ............

Gotta love my split personality! lol

As far as I know, I made up "Cruffles." And if someone else was first with it, then my apologies.

Oh, Leah, I hope you didn't think I was making fun of the name Cruffles. I was just joking about how hick sounding "cake balls " can sound sometimes. And believe me this is coming from a true redneck.

I have been calling them Cake Bites as my husband also makes fun of the balls!

Oh No Mindy, I didn't think that at all. I was just establishing my rights to the name. ::laughs hysterically with all the copyright crap that's been circulating lately.::

Let's see . . . ::taps side of head:: the first time I used the term "Cruffles" was . . . let me think . . . yes! July 14, 1872. That should make me the first to use it.

BWHAHAHAHA

Hi everyone! This topic is right up my alley! I am currently getting my hands into cake TRUFFLES (I am also all of 12 and giggle when calling them cake balls) and am trying to come up with my price list!

A lot of people around here (Alberta) seem to sell them $24/dozen and even though I want to be competitive with the others out there, I don't want people to think they are too expensive! Right now my price would be $24/dozen but it also includes them to be boxed and bowed.

What do you all think? As well, I make my truffles roughly the size of a golf ball!

Thanks!

leah hope you dont mind i call them cruffles also!! i live in west texas so if i say cake balls everyone laughs. so cruffles it is!!!!

leah, i love the name "cruffles"...i just can't bring myself to call them cake balls anymore after this conversation!

Ha! That's nothing. My husband always gets them confused with "buckeyes" (those round, chocolate-covered peanut butter things), so he now calls my cake "truffles" buck nuts! lmao

Joyfullysweet that's an even better name. How dare you marry a minor? lol My Dh's the same childish way. (me too sometimes, lol)

I call them cake truffles and sell them for $.50/each $6/doz. and so far have 1 person that orders them fairly regularly I have about 20 different flavors.......and roughly the size of a walnut!

I just got an order for 20 dz next week!!! I'm thinking say a little prayer and get in the kitchen

That is great news, Cupcakeatheart! Best of luck with it!
