Periscope Pricing With Sift by Kara

A long but informative live Periscope discussion on how I go about pricing my cakes. I am not an expert and consulting a professional business manager and accountant is best.

This is AWESOME, information, I had no idea how to calculate the price of my overhead. I'm applauding you right now!! Thank you

So glad I came across your video... I plan to open up a dessert cafe as opposed to just doing specialty cakes but this still helped me tremendously. I am just in the beginning phase of coming up with the concepts & all my recipes & etc and I am constantly looking for videos on pricing and getting started and just general dessert business videos. This video has really given me so much insight and I think it is better to do the work now at the beginning then to regret it later. Great Video! I love your personality!

Good Information,thanks for your time

[@Karen822]

I was watching this on KZbin and wanted some hearts to tap. 😊

[@ria-ll2gr]

thank u for this!!!

[@fluffymum12]

I totally tried to give you hearts but it just paused lol I'm a cookier but this information is very helpful

[@Kbustos329]

LOL!!! Thank you for trying! I'll take a thumbs up and a share here in KZbin 😉

[@prettybubbles8954]

How did you get started? Did you go through a decorating course? You make gorgeous cakes girlie!!! Excellent job. I've always wanted to bake since 3rd grade. My 3rd grade teacher owned a bakery and once a month she would bring in cupcakes for our class. Since then I've always wanted to bake I just never do it but I'm very encouraged now. Thanks!!

[@Kbustos329]

I got started 5 years ago when I needed a nice cake for my daughter. I enjoyed it and continued to learn by watching KZbin

[@BennyBoy_1010]

I have a pricing policy but I'm just starting out so it's not as straight forward as the one on your website - would it be ok to use your website pricing page as a template or can I use the wording you have, mine is pretty much the same, but yours gets right to the point?

[@BennyBoy_1010]

Is internet-based cake company kinda the same thing as saying Home-based baker?How do you handle last minute orders? would you require they pay in full right at that time.

[@Kbustos329]

If someone asks me I inform them I am registered to operate out of my home. I handle last minute orders if I can and require immediate payment via pay pal or cash drop off. All orders must be paid in full or my oven stays off

[@BennyBoy_1010]

aaaaah - Got it, thanks. I appreciate your advice very much.

[@laurieraker56]

Yes

[@BennyBoy_1010]

One more question - promise: I'm a cottage baker also - If we offer Red Velvet, can we just make a cream-cheese flavored buttercream since we can't offer actual cream cheese buttercream? do you?

[@Kbustos329]

I don't like the cream cheese flavoring so I offer a sweet American buttercream with my red velvet

[@BennyBoy_1010]

Thank you - that helps. I will start doing that.
