I have a gal who needs 120 mini cupcakes with just a buttercream swirl on top. Should I charge 1.00 each or less? I've never done mini's. What is the best liner to use?? Thanks in advance!

I charge .50 each. I take my cost times 3. So if a cupcake costs me .50 to make I charge 1.50. What do you do for your charge? I have a little shop but this pricing thing is a whole new ball game for me.

Best liner is aluminum foil cupcake liners/wrappers. If you google "foil mini cupcake liners" you will get a listing of various websites that sell them. Designs are limiting, they come in solid metallic colors like gold, silver, black, etc.. but cupcakes look very classy. These liners are awesome they do not peel away from the cupcakes.

I'm doing 350 in a few weeks and I'm charging $.62 per mini with a basic swirl.
