How much do you sell cupcakes for?

[bookworm1982]

Hello, I've no idea where I should be posting this but I'm calling all people with a baking business. How much do you charge per cupcake? And for 6 and then 12?

I know it differs but I just wanted to get an idea. I had a baking business in Norway a long time ago and I charged £5 per cupcake as the ingredients where so expensive. I'm guessing I couldn't charge that here!!

Thanks all xx

I bought some cupcakes from our naice local bakers in London recently. Their standard cupcakes were 80p each and the price increased from there for different icing/ decorations.

Oh wow! Thanks! 80p is so cheap!!

To be honest, this has been done to death. Most of the big supermarkets sell ‘nicer’ boxes of them alongside the standard bakery items. The market is saturated.

80p is ridiculously cheap, and definitely not standard. £5 is a pisstake.
Around £2, I'd say.

Yep. The market is well and truly oversaturated but not if you live in an area where no-one is doing it and not if you're very good. And that's not what I asked.

I’d pay up to £3 for something truly sensational.

Probably £1-2 for something nice but nothing special (ie standard coffee shop cupcake)

There’s a coffee shop near me where the cakes are £3-4 each but they are hand made, the highest quality and head & shoulders above the cakes in the other cafes in town

That said, I’m not massively a cup cake person myself, would rather something like a Bakewell tart / coffee & walnut cake etc
