How to price (charge or quote) in a cake business, to make money and a profit!

Are you wondering how much to charge for a cake?  Are you wanting to check your prices are what other people are charging (as you don’t want to undercharge or overcharge – charge too much, or even worse, not enough!)

If you are looking to have a profitable business (and the key word here is Profit – making money), then charging the right amount for your cakes is important.

For waayyyyy too long I have heard from Cakers (Cake Makers) –

• I am just starting out, so am happy to build up my portfolio
• I am only a hobby cake maker
• I am just starting and not experienced, I can’t charge people
• I love cake decorating so much, I can’t charge for something I love!

 Is this you right now?  Be honest.

The #1 reason people under charge for their cakes, is lack of confidence.

Previously we have talked about how to price cupcakes and what to charge for 3D, larger, sculptured cakes, because there is nothing worse than undercharging or overcharging!

I highly, *highly* recommend you PRINT off and blu-tac it near your house phone or put it in your cake order diary.

#1 Tip When Quoting on Cakes

When quoting on a cake for a customer, check with the Pricing Guides and come up with a number.  Sit with this number for 5 minutes.  If you feel happy with it (that you will make a profit) then give the quote to the customer.

If a customer has rung up, don’t feel pressured to give a quote on the spot.

If you want to quote quicker {spend 5 minutes or less}, don’t over think this.

Remember, if you are starting out or growing your cake business, I am here to help!
