re: How to price your cake?

This is a great tool. You can also download the app if you have an iphone or andriod http://www.cakebaker.co.uk/cake-recipe-pricing-calculator.html

Some people will add ingredients of cake and x 3 to get an amount to charge. This doesn’t really work for me. If you do it on the cakeulator you can add all your costs, time and mark-up that you’re comfortable with. A healthy profit would be around 30% in my opinion. You will be surprised how much it all come to, but don’t sell yourself short if you would like to do it as a business and be legal. You might not have a shop and staff to pay, but you should still have insurance, accountant, tax, electricity, etc to pay if you’re a legal business.

Good luck! x
