Making 150 cupcakes from scratch, what is the approximate cost?
This is my first time making such a large amount of cupcakes. It will also be my first time making everything from scratch. I plan to make a small practice batch before hand, of course. However, I'm making them for my sister-in-law and she will pay me before hand. I can't afford to buy all of the stuff ahead of time. At my sister-in-law's request, I'm making vanilla cupcakes with vanilla butter cream frosting (all from scratch). I'll also put a small fondant flower on each one (the fondant I'll buy premade). Therefore my supplies will be as follows:Ingredients to make 150 vanilla cupcakesIngredients to make enough butter cream frosting to cover them (not globs of it, but not too little either)The rest I can figure out pretty easily. It's just that I don't know how much I'll need to create so many cupcakes, or the cost of the ingredients. Is there an experienced baker that can tell me for sure? Any tips as far as preparing a recipe for a large number of cupcakes? I know that with some foods, simply multiplying a smaller recipe, doesn't always work out well.
