I am so glad to see this topic come up in a thread, because I was just getting
ready to start it myself with a question.

Our school is having a bake sale on the 2nd (election day, we're a polling
place, extra traffic). How do you think it's best to price items? I'll be
making divinity (relatively cheap to make), individual pineapple upside down
cakes (about $5.00 total to make 8 small-pot-pie-sized cakes), and small
coconut cakes (recipe posted earlier this month during a discussion about
"poke" cakes. These are slightly more expensive to make because of the cost of
the cream of coconut, but I'm using miniature loaf pans, and can make about 10
cakes from a normal-sized cake batter).
I know my pricing scale for these things when I do small catering jobs, but I'm
not looking for a real business-level profit for these items. As consumers
(and parents) how much would you be willing to pay for, say, a bag of 4 largish
pieces of divinity? A pineapple cake? A coconut cake? A coffee-cake-strudel
muffin?

Thanks!

Alexis.
