Obviously that woman has never made a cake from scratch. The majority of people only know the cost of a mix and nothing else. Not only that, they don’t even consider the shopping for the materials, the clean up (the part I really really hate), never mind the time you spend decorating it. After my husband saw what is involved, he was adamant about my not selling my cakes. After hearing stories like yours, I’m beginning to see his point. He says that people are not willing to pay what should be charged. Since it’s “only cake” then she can make her own.
