SITE SUGGESTION: Areas to Enter Price and Decorating Time Near Cookie Photos?

Hi --

I love to look at the stunning cookies everyone here posts -- many are breathtaking and truly works of art.

When I see particularly fabulous or intricate designs, I always wonder how long they took to make, and how much they are being sold for. It is easy to look at some of these incredible designs and begin to question my own cookie ability - I'm sure others feel the same way. I wonder if knowing how many hours went into a particular cookie, and how much it was sold for, would help us all to keep our own cookie abilities in perspective.

It would be interesting when looking at the clips, to know the time involved and the price of the cookie (assuming it was sold, of course.) What do you think?

[EDITOR'S NOTE: MEMBERS, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING POLL TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST IN ADDING SUCH A FEATURE.

Extremely important info to capture/share

Somewhat important info to capture/share

I could take it or leave it

Not important (as I can always ask in the comments)

Hmmmm, I'm surprised there were just this many voters. I just now saw it. If I would have been able to vote I would have voted that it was "Extremely important info to capture and share."

So this made me think of a question. Is there a post regarding how to price a cookie here?

Well, that's all there were and it was posted for months, so I take that as meaning it was not that important to most people to know specifically how a particular cookie was priced. There was also quite a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of doing this, which you can read here: http://cookieconnection.juliau...s-to-include-pricing

Of course, I think people are VERY interested in knowing how to more accurately price their own work (if they sell). There is information on this site already about how to build cost models that will allow you to do this the right way: http://cookieconnection.juliau....com/blog/from-dough
