Pricing And Selection For 2019
Business By SidselMunkholm Updated 14 Feb 2019 , 4:59am by OHaresTstyTrts
I was looking at all the pricing cakes for restaurants and there is nothing really current. (most replies on here are from 2007 and earlier) I approached a local restaurant about them maybe selling my cakes in slices for desserts. I make a chocolate 3 layer cake from scratch which is getting to be really well known in my neck of the woods. But... how do I price it? I know my cost, I know how long it takes to do a simple decoration. My price is $35 per cake ( I live in a poor area), and would like to price the cake properly to the restaurant. I would give them a discount, but how much? I live in Florida which means I can make and sell cakes out of my own kitchen, as a cottage industry.
Also... How many slices per cake? I see that 16 slices are pretty standard per 9 inch round cake.
Does anyone do bundt style cakes? I also love to make bundt cakes and have a couple of specialty cakes that are requested from time to time. All my cakes, frostings are made from scratch.
Thanks in advance.
those are huge servings out of a 9" cake -- you can get twice as many servings -- no don't discount to them --
Absolutely no discount. If you sell your chocolate cake for $35 and are happy with that price, stick to it. The restaurant is going to sell it for at least $4 per serving, so that is a nice profit margin for them.
No discount! Agreed! Also, I can 24 servings out of a nine-inch cake and I’m sure the restaurant will too. :)
I'm in Florida as well. What you want to do is not legal under the cottage food law. You can only sell directly to the consumer. You can't sell wholesale or through a brick and mortar. The restaurant should know this as well.
