Ok. Another pricing question. ok, I lied. There are several.
I know you are all tired of these, but here goes:
I know that everyone has there base price for a basic cake. But where do you go from there? My 9X13 are $25, 11X15 are $30.
What happens when you start to do double layers?
How about torting?
What about a filling added to those, do you charge X amount for a filling or does it depend on the type of filling?
How about it you tort 2,3,or 4 times and fill with all the same filling? Different fillings?
I deal with bc and have not dove into fondant. Do you have different prices when you do fondant vs. bc?
I thank everyone for all their help in advance. These are just general questions. Since I am starting to have more orders, I need to have an idea where to go with this. My apologies for the length of these questions.
i calculated my costs for materials and my labor (assuming my time is worth $10/hr) then I put it in a spreadsheet and calculated the cost for each type of cake based on the icing/covering combinations because that's where the bulk of my expense is soooo....I'm going to try to attach it for you all to reference. Hope it helps!
Wow! That is an invaluable spreadsheet you posted! Thank you!
here's another link to a sticky post on these forums. it's for a pricing matrix. http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-5711.html
