re: Special Cakes...not so special budgets!

Firstly, you have to know your market. Prices are so very dependent on where you live. Big city, what part of the city, rural..etc., etc. That’s very important.
A good rule of thumb Jayden348 is to ask 3 key questions.
1. What is your budget?
2. How many people/guests does the cake have to serve?
3. Style/design cake required (which you already know)
Usually getting this budget to cake ratio/design lets you know pretty quickly what kind of customer your dealing with. Whether they have unrealistic expectations for what they can get for there budget. Then you can decide how you will proceed. Whether it’s worth your while to give a quote. Whether you suggest some kind of cake similar that will fit there budget. Or decide to be booked up and can’t accommodate there order.
And always tell your customers you require a nonrefundable deposit to proceed and save the date. That definitely weeds out a lot of customers.
