I am making a chocolate chip cookie for a co-worker for valentines day with cream around it...can anyone tell me how much I should charge her.....also making cake pops how much should I charge a pop?
Have you tried one of those from the supermarket? YUK! Pricing is always so tricky...so many factors in play. I used to work for Cookies by Design and they charge $29.99 for a pan cookie. I think that's one of their more reasonably priced items. We sold a lot of them at that price. You may not be able to get that much where you live. You have to make it worth your time...$8.00 isn't worth your time! That wouldn't cover one hour of labor. I think I would charge $2$ or $25 dollars for one. I charge $1 a piece for my chocolate chip cookies and it takes 15 to fill a pan. Then I would charge $10.00 to decorate it. I know that's not a very scientific approach to pricing but it sounds about right to me.

Just an fyi...my local supermarkets sell large message cookies for 8.00....
I was thinking of asking for 10.00 for the cookie and 1.50 a pop or go with 1 doz pops....and see if I make a special price ..........I have never made something to charge.........
This is just my opinion, but by the time I bake and decorate a pan cookie, $8 or$9 may be enough to cover the cost of the ingredients but it certainly doesn't pay for my time.
