I am doing a wedding cake using cupcakes for the first time. Three different flavors: white, chocolate and carrot cake. Each cupcake will have an icing flower. What should I charge? My thought was $1.00 each for the white and chocolate and $1.25 for the carrot cake. Does this sound reasonable?

Sounds cheap to me. I charge $2 per serving (cupcake) just like a regular wedding cake. My reasoning is this--although the construction is easier, the decorating is more intensive, since each cupcake has to be decorated individually with a flower or something. You'll also need to color coordinate them so that people know which are the white, chocolate and carrot.

Thank you for your reply. I was really in a quandry about charging more but I agree with you. They actually did take more time than I expected. Also, each cupcake is the equivalent to an individual serving of wedding cake and has its own decoration.
It just sounds more logical coming from someone else. Thanks again.

I charged what I would for a wedding cake, also - $2.50 per cupcake. I had 3 different flavors and used 3 different flowers to differentiate them. I took a picture of each one and made a small sign on my computer (PowerPoint) to put next to the 'cake'. This way the guests knew what flower to pick for which flavor. A picture of this cake and sign is under the Weddings/Wedding Gallery at www.justdesserts.info. Have fun doing yours. Sallia.
