I wouldn't take the order for less than $10-$12 each. I have made some in the past and they are not my favorite item on the menu. When I let the customers know what they cost that tends to deter them from purchasing. And there is a minimum of 50 anything less the cost goes up even more. I have had brides that pay for these and they are a pain in the rear, but I have found some tricks to make it an easier process. Stacking them without the top tier having a board is a big help. The top layer has barely any weight to hurt the bottom tier. They do sell 3" boards, gold or silver that is used for individual desserts, I buy those. Then when you are icing them stick bamboo skewers through the tier and through the cake board you are working on and the cake goes nowhere. And if they would like fondant on the cake I found the poured fondant like for petit fours is the easiest way to handle that. HTH

Glad to have found this thread becuz someone just asked me to do some mini cakes for a wedding and I wasn't sure what to say or do, but now I will just simply reply that I don't do them and she can go to another vendor that costs $15 per mini cakes. I already have enough stress in my life. I'm glad I didn't get fed to the wolves by saying yes.

I think these mini-cakes are those small one-piece wedding cake pans that just look like they're tiered? So you'd actually be baking in just one little pan. And these look like they were dipped, or glazed, not frosted--and certainly not covered in fondant. Personally I don't care for the way these look. I've seen cleaner versions...but then those cost way more than $6.50 each.

I do 2 tier "mini" cakes that the bottom tier is 3 1/2" and the top is 2 " and charge $25.00. I package them in a clear 5" cube box and tie a ribbon around it. I also live in a rather small town. Sharon
