I know this is a fitness website and I am asking about sweets, but I have been asked to sell my cupcakes at a fundraiser. I am trying to make my cupcakes a side job because I enjoy making them so much. I make them completely from scratch and do not use mixes at all.

So my questions are....

1. What is your favorite cupcake flavors? examples may be.... chocolate, brownie, peanut butter (reeses), chocolate chip, white amaretto, red velvet. Maybe a flavor you have tried at a cupcake shop before. I am just trying to figure out what kinds to take to sell.

2. I need a unique/cute name for my cupcake business... does anyone have any ideas??

3. What do you think is a fair price for a regular size cupcake and mini cupcakes?? Like I said before, these are made completely from scratch and they are decorated also.

    1. All of the above, you made me soo hungry for a cupcake.
    2. I'm useless.
    3. Prices vary greatly depending on the shop. Some are super expensive others are better priced.

    My name is Michelle, my kids are Kaleb and Chloe. A lady at work thought that Chloes Cupcakes sounded good.

    I have googled pricing online quite a bit and thought about going with $2 or $2.50 each for regular and $1 for mini. Then when I do like a half dozen or whole dozen, maybe discounting them just a little. Like maybe a dozen will be $20 and a dozen minis would be $10. It would be like getting 2 free.
