I've been looking on here trying to find something about what others are charging for mini cupcakes. I charge $2.50 for a basic swirl, unfilled cupcake, $2.75-3.00 for a filled, depending on the type of filling. I've not had to do anything with a fondant accent or covered in fondant yet, but I guess I'd probably go $3,25 and $4,00 respectively.

However, I have been asked to provide mini cupcakes for my company christmas party next week. I've had some great ideas from others regarding designs, but I'm stumped on pricing. Do you consider that 2 minis = 1 regular size or would it be more like 3? I'm just wondering if $1 each is reasonable, or if $1.25 is more along the lines.

They will just have a basic swirl on them. And I may put a small chocolate or royal snowflake on for decor. I also have mini cookie cutters in shapes of christmas tree, snowman and gingerbread man that I was considering in either fondant, or as a mini cookie.

Ideas? (sorry for the rambling)

A mini-cupcake is typically about a third the size of a regular cupcake, but we sell minis for half the price of regular cupcakes.

Depends on the size of your cupcake and what papers you use. There is a cupcake shop here that sells minis for a buck a piece, but he uses bon bon sized mini cupcake wrappers. They are one bite (and disgusting).

My minis are 1/2 the size of my regular cupcakes. I know this because I weigh my batter. My regular cupcakes have 1.6 oz batter, my minis have .8. I do charge extra for minis because they are a pain in the butt and packaging is more expensive. And they are a pain in the butt.

Thanks everyone. All very helpful information. I was leaning towards $1.25 for them on this particular order.
