I did my first Farmer's market and the turn out wasn't any good and I baked too many cupcakes. I feel so discouraged and just want to give up. Not sure if my area is big on cupcakes or willing to pay the price. I use good quality ingredients so I don't want to undercharge. I feel like all the time and money spent on preparing for the market is a let down to my family.
How do I store frosted cupcakes well and still fresh for next time? Thanks
Freeze them. Wrap the box with a couple of thicknesses of plastic wrap, so they are well sealed. I would even add a final layer of aluminum foil.
Its so easy to be discouraged, but try not to be. Its all a learning process. Did you get the opportunity to talk up your business to potential customers? Sometimes they just need to see your booth and chat a few times before they feel comfortable enough to start buying. Giving away mini's or having samples can help, too, if your city allows that. And you can always donate leftovers-- as long as you do it the same or next day-- and again your city has to be ok with that. I was able to take mine to the children's hospital in our city and then didn't feel too badly about not having the sales. Good luck to you!
myself, I would not re-sell them -- you can also give to emergency room staff, firemen and police departments -- peeps in the high stress jobs often like the sugar buzz
No, I didn't get the chance. There wasn't enough foot traffic in the town. About maybe only 20 people total walking in town. I did donate to a woman's shelter. Thank y'all so much for advice and support.
Hits and misses. You got out there. You worked hard. It's a let down, but it takes guts to do what you did. Don't let it stop you. Consider it market research and I hope it didn't cost you too much.
