First and probably last paid order 😂
This was my first paid order and for how much work it took, I way undercharged. But she asked me to do them and I said yes before I could really think about. Lesson learned for next time 🤷🏼♀️

I don't do cookies for less than $60/dozen. Too much work, but yours are lovely!

I’ll tell you like I told the cookier before you: Raise your prices! Your skill level is tremendous!! Gorgeous work!

How much did you charge for this order? I feel like I’m undercharging too. Just starting selling orders in May

I’m sure these took you forever😵💫 they look good though! It’s hard to price these cookies starting out

I would do some research on what other cookiers with your skill level are charging in your area if you want to continue to sell. When I first started I was charging $25 per dozen. Now I charge $75 per dozen with a 2 dozen minimum. I’m booked 6 months in advance. Your speed will come with time and practice

I start at $65 dozen and even feel like I undercharge. Great job on these! You should be super proud!

40 cookies is more than 3 dozen. Our dozen starts at $55 and goes up from there. You definitely undersold yourself on this one, but now you know for your next order. Don’t let this be your first and last because you’re very talented.
