No, Lety, I do not do pricing. Most caterers charge 3-4 times the food cost, depending on the level of service/time involved.

Be aware that in most states it is illegal to prepare food for sale except in a licensed kitchen or the host's house. Also, that you are liable to suit if anyone claims illness or injury due to your food or service. Check your liability insurance.
