<p>I think there's a lesson in all of it on the subject of cupcakes and prices, really.. MUST we get serious? tee hee. There are always going to be those who bellyache over prices if they are anything more than free. We shouldn't let them throw us into turmoil. We'll have customers at every price point. Ha! Full circle! Watch the magic, girls - watch the magic.</p>

<p>I agree with some other comments already posted, your cupcakes look amazing and I'm sure taste as good as they look.</p>
<p>I am starting a cake business from my home (outside of Philadelphia) and was doing some "market research' so I can get an idea of what local bakeries charge (didn't go as well as I would have hoped but that's another story). Anyways, I bought a couple of cupcakes, each was $3.50. They look good haven't tried them yet. I don't know what area you live in but if you're…</p>

<p>Holly, sometimes it's just good to have a good old belly laugh, isn't it? I've had that same line given to me too!! "It will be good for your business, and it will get your name out there." Or, "Look at it as your ministry" I used to get that one a lot from our old church. I think I am the guilty party for getting this so off the subject of cupcakes and prices.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Holly F said:…</cite></p>

<p>You gals are hilarious! I would have posted earlier - but I don't think I could have stopped laughing long enough! I have to add though - that if I hear, "you could just bring a cake and use it to spread the word for your business" one more time, I'm going to throttle someone. Graduations, weddings.... let them do it themselves if they're going to gripe. *shaking head* tape on tupperwear! Ha!</p>

<p>I thought the same thing yesterday, Katy, but in all honesty, I think all the rest that have posted prior, probably clicked onto the area where it says: do not receive responses.

Now we are talking about a real red neck wedding! Instead of engraving, they could place a piece of masking tape with the bride and groom's names on them. Ohhhh, we are awful! Just awful!</p>
