do any of you do cream cheese mints and if so what do you charge? Thanks

I'd like to know too!

I might not be the best one to answer because my cake prices are a lot cheaper than alot on here but I charge $2.00 a doz. with a min. of 5 doz.

Hope this helps.

I was charging .15 each. They are really fast the way I do them which is cutting them out with a cutter. The molds take too long for me and I wouldn't sell them if I had to use those. HTH

Bonnie,
What size and shape cutter do you use?

Where can I get a recipe for cream cheese mints?

Bonnie,

I too would love to know exactly how you do yours.

I have seen several recipes, can anyone recommend a good one?

Thanks in advance!

I just found this

Guess I should have looked a little harder before I asked!

forgive me but I have to ask- Are these the same as the little squared, pastel mints people put out in a bowl at baby showers?

At the bakery where I work, we charge .25 each or $25.00/100. We have no minimum. They are VERY easy to make. We use equal parts of cream cheese and butter, mint exract and enough powdered sugar that the dough doesn't feel sticky. We roll them pieces in sugar before they are pressed in a sugar dusted mold. They do stay doft, but the sugar lets them get a slight crust on the outside.

I have seen a few bakeries that will include 50-100 cream cheese mints with a wedding cake order over a certain amount. I have done them and LOVE them-so yummy-but I only charged .10 each. They were for a friend and she needed 300. They were done in four colors to match bridesmaid dresses and only took about an hour. I can flip them out of the mold pretty fast, but if I had known I didn't need to use a mold at the time I wouldn't have! I've never seen them with just a cutter. I would love to see a picture Bonnie.

Did anyone try to substitue the mint extract for a different flavor of oil.

Other than Jenncowin, does anyone use a different recipe other than the Wilton link posted above? I've never had these before and would like to try them.

Bump.

I would also like to know about the butter mints if anyone has some info.

Thanks
