    I wonder if anyone can advise me if I am underpricing my cupcakes? I am selling them for £5.50, worked out ...£2.20 for 4 pairs of socks, 83p for four silcone cases, 9p for the case which comes in at £3.12 but not included the ribbons or the flowers that I put on them or the tags as I am using what I have..

    I sell them for £5.50 but I realised that I would eventually need to buy ribbons and flowers to replace them I use 3/4 yard of ribbon on each cupcake boxes am I selling them too cheap?
    I am determined to lose weight!:kisses3:
    Weight loss so far 2 stones 6lbs!! :j:j

    Yes I think they are too cheap. I hope people don't mind me saying but I think crafters have a tendancy to underprice their work and undervalue their skills:confused: Your cupcakes are beautiful and I think people would happily pay more for them ;)
