ATTENTION ALL POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
I've updated my order requirements to a $125 minimum. I have also include a Quote Fee of $25 when requesting a quote. Details in the New Customer Paperwork. That option is available on the REQUEST A QUOTE tab. See Cake Pricing Info tab for more information. Pricing details can be found on the New Customer Paperwork tab, on the Cake Information - Deposits, Payments, and Cake Breakdown Information pages.
I price my cakes based on the current price of ingredients. NO, I don't charge you the full price of a bag of sugar, flour, or carton of eggs or egg whites, quart or half gallon of milk, etc. I have an Excel spreadsheet app that figures out the cost based on the amount of each ingredient needed for each recipe, being either a portion, or the entire box of cake or pudding mix, for example. The entire box is charged at full price. If I use a portion of a box, it is charged accordingly, as in, if I need a little more batter based on cake pan sizes used, I will portion it out accordingly.
With that said, if I was to charge you what the formulas figure is the price of the cake, buttercream, etc., I would only be recouping the price of the ingredients. I would receive no income, nothing to cover the expense of equipment use, tools & replacing them, electricity for baking, oven, water, along with my time and effort in quoting and working on creating your order. Plus, cleanup expense, as well. And I do all of it.
So, with that said, I take what the app has figured for each recipe total and multiple it by, just as an example: 5.5%, to cover my costs and income.
Yes, I do deserve an income just like you do at your job.
For all other cakes, Start by clicking on the "Cake Pricing Information" tab. which will help you in determining the style you want your cake to be. The decorations on these cakes are not to designate the decoration for your cake. With that said, your cake will designed according to the information you provide when completing the REQUEST A CAKE form.
There are four (4) different sized cakes, each with a description telling you the starting price, and where to find the additional items that will increase the price of each. Take a look and start planning for your cake requests accordingly. Thank you for stopping by Cake Designs by Fran.
Good Day Cake Designs by Fran visitors. Wanted to let you know that I am about to put together some Pound Cake tester boxes for you to purchase. I will put photos up on my Store when they are complete.It's of course, too late for Easter delivery or pickup. However, you may still want to try them out once I get them posted and ready to pickup or shipment. So be on the lookout for an update. You can check out the Pound Cake Tester Options tab to see all the available flavors and glazes. You can also go ahead and order from that page if you'd like. I currently only have the following cakes made: Confetti Pound Cake w/Vanilla Glaze, Chocolate Chip Pound Cake w/Chocolate Glaze, Cinnamon Swirl Pound Cake w/Cream Cheese flavoring, and Wedding Bouquet Pound w/Wedding Bouquet Glaze. Choose these 4 from the Pound Cake Tester Options tab by clicking on it.
