Perfect. Thank you. That was the range I had in mind. And yes, the
size of the cakes are what you're thinking, although the Pineapple
Upside Down cakes are slightly larger than the coconut. I use small
pot-pie tins for the p.u.d cakes -- the "top" of the cake (when flipped
over) is just slightly larger than the size of a pineapple ring. I can,
iirc, make about eight of those cakes from each batch of batter. I make
about 10 of the coconut cakes from each batch of batter, but they cost
slightly more, overall, to make (due to the cost of the cream of
coconut). I'll be using packaging that I already have on hand (plates,
wrapping, etc). I know I spent money of those initially, but I buy them
in such bulk for my classes that it's not much of a sacrifice to use
them for this.

Thanks!

Alexis.
