Sounds like a cupcake cake.OP, add up your costs, including ingredients, labor, and per-order overhead (license fees, insurance, etc.), then add markup for your profit based on local market values. $2 for custom cupcakes is probably too low but since you are the only one who knows your cost structure no one else can answer this question definitively.
