Costing

I first started making these little tea cups after seeing them in a cafe for $2.50 each. I thought I could make them for a fraction of that price, and it's possible! The total cost of making 24 tea cups is $6.17, with almost half of that cost being the biscuits themselves.

- Tic-Toc biscuits - $2.95

- Marshmallows on special $2.00 half a pack - $1

- Musk life Savers – 95c

- Cooking Chocolate $3.30 about a 1/3 of a pack - $1.10

- 100’s and 1000’s $1.69 1/10 of a pack - 17c

TOTAL COST = $6.17 or 26 cents each.

Shopping bill = $10.89, but hold onto your left over ingredients, we will be using them for our next blog recipe.
