The restaurant where I work has asked me to start baking cheesecakes and biscotti for them as well as a few customers for the holidays.
I have no idea what I should charge. I don't want to over charge them.
What do you think is reasonable for a 9" pumpkin cheesecake?
2 dozen biscotti?

in a bakery the rule of thumb, you should get 5 turns on your dollar, if it cost $1.00 you should get$5 for it. your ingredients, your time , your knowedge, your electric,etc. be fair to your self. if you use good ingredients and make good stuff its worth it to the other person. bacondebaker

Sell a cheesecake to the restaurant for about $24... that's about $1.50 a slice for 16 slices, and they can sell a slice for $4.95 each. They can sell a whole one to a customer for whatever they want, but should probably get about $36 a piece or so.
Biscotti: You can sell those for about $2 each, so sell them to the store for about 69 cents each, so 2 dozen = $16.50

In order to get at least a small profit for your baking skills, take this into account:
Most restaurants take the cost of making a product and multiply it by at least 30%.
I make fruit baskets, they cost about $25 to make and I sell them for $42.00 giving me a 68% profit or $17.00.
