re: How to get customers... and price your cakes right!

It is so hard when you first start but now that I have been doing it for a couple of years you realize how hard you work and how many hours you put into it. Plus at first you try so hard to make it so beautiful that you spend more money than you make. Now I have gotten tougher and state my price as soon as they ask for a cake to eliminate any misunderstanding. I just now got a call for 12 mini cupcakes and she wants 2 flavors!!! I used to do it but now I won’t take orders of less than 24 and one flavor only. It is a lot of work and not worth turning on the oven, the whole kitchen mess for 12 mini cupcakes. The box alone with the liner cost me almost $2. So what is the point. I wish someone would put out a commercial educating people on how it is so customers would understand better. Anyways, just venting from phone call and happened to see this post. Have an awesome day!!!
