Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I'm upset

I can't sell ... the people think my price are too high...

I start $2.50 per too tiers, $3 x 3 tiers and $4 x 4 tiers, If the cake is cover with fondant I'll charging $10 per tier...

I charged for the wedding cake on the picture $ 800 (Serves 200)

Please let me know your opinion... thanks...

We are all customers. Think about it if we wanted something custom made or our house decorated to our taste, the person who is in that line of work is going to charge for every detail of that project. Otherwise we would have to settle for Wal-mart or something else.

LOL , dawn you are so right, i have a customer who always gets her party cakes, so every year at the same time, i know i will hear from her.  I have had to do a price increase because of butter and boxes. She is fine with it, sometimes you get those customers who want to take advantage,those, i dont have time for. But the ones i have who keeps coming back are jems. I know all brides are stressed, i refuse to be stressed with them. Because at the end of the day you have to pay for your supplies, we are not trying to get over on people, it is what it is. When you do find that dealership, let me know LOL!!!!

Good for you, Monica!!  WTG!  It costs what it costs and every one has to accept it or not buy.  I think cars cost at least twice what they should cost - but I've yet to find a dealership that agrees with me.  And butter- don't even get me started.  I have to pay what people charge me - and I have to pass on that practice to my customers... or go out of business.

Oh no, WalMart will do it exactly how I want for the $5 I want to pay or I will throw a temper tamtrum and threaten to to sue and call all my friends and tell them never to shop there.

 

This is how it works, isn't it?
