I had an interesting conversation with a woman who is a personal chef. She's coming to make dinner at my house Saturday as part of a gift cert DH and I won at auction. We got to talking about me making cakes as a hobby at home. She asked me if I made pies. I said I sure do for family every year, about this time. She asked if I was interested in making her 4 cherry and 4 apple pies to feed 50 people for a dinner she has next month. Of course I said sure!! I'm not so sure what to charge though. I am going to stop by a few places on my way home tonight and see what their bakeries charge for pie.
For the cherry pie, I have fresh cherries from my own cherry trees that I'd mix with some raspberries for a sweet/tart type flavor. For tops on both, I'll either do a crumb coat or a lattice top.
Any ideas/thoughts would be great!!
I think that's really hard because bakery pie is not nearly as good as homemade IMO and the crust on a homemade pie is worth more! Not to mention, providing that you are makingy our crust from scratch, it takes a while too..... and all the work with the apples, etc.... I would think $15 per pie but I have no clue what this lady wants to pay, ya' know? That's $120 -
Maybe I overprice but I don't see the point of giving the customers scrumptious homemade desserts made fresh for the same cost of a cheapie grocery store or Baker's Square pie... I'm sort of stubborn like that
