Bakers how do you charge for your goods? Im doing some cookies for a family member and already costed the ingredients and stuff. The frosted cookies are about 21cents per to make so 7.40 for a batch of 35 cookies. I know you charge more than the cost to make or you just break even but how much more do you charge? Or how do you figure that out?
If I'm doing it for someone I like/family I'll aim for break even because I use real ingredients such as fresh fruit and real butter. If for an acquaintance or coworker I'll do cost plus 20+ baked goods/pies and 50-200 for cakes/special order/cater. This includes delivery. Cookies I'd do break even or about 1.50 per cookie or 2.00 for detailed/personalized cookies.

Sell everything for a dollar each nigga I'll buy the whole table
The short answer is as much as you can get.
The long answer involves futher estimates on your behalf. How much you want to earn per hour of work, overheads on running your establishment like staffing, electricity, rent, etc. Basically any cost plus what you want to make. And research what you can actually realistically charge. This doesn't have to be a lot of work. See what a nice box of cookies sells for. What a cafe sells a nice cookie or baked good for. Take into account your environment, how nice they are. How you are selling them- in bulk or individually. You can always reduce things later on.
Actually taking a look at what you're doing, 35 cookies for a family member cost $7.40. I'd say as it is family ask for $10. If I'd take how long it took me to do, give a $/hr, add that and round it up a little. Then either apply that per cookie or sell box for that. For individual cookies round up that again for room for bulk reductions and because possible unsold stuff.
