Cake Pops
Now that Cake Pops have become all the rage I've decided to add them to my menu. I'm studying how to make them and then thinking about how to package them. And then I have no idea how to price them. If anyone has started selling these I would love your advice. I plan to keep them simple at first, sprinkles,drizzles, letters, etc...
Thank you.
Thank you.

I'm sure it would be a little difficult to determine a price per pop. What I would do is add up the cost of one cake recipe, sticks, sprinkles, chocolate, etc. Then see how many pops you can make with those ingredients. Make sure to keep track of your time. From there you can come up with a ballpark at least of how much it costs you to make a batch. Then just decide how you're going to sell them. By the dozen? Half dozen? I probably wouldn't sell them individually. Can you imagine if someone wants to order two? And I'm sure you'll get calls like that.

One cake recipe will make tons of these.....And I mean TONS!!! I sell them sometimes to friends and I have charged $15-$20 a dozen and I don't put them on sticks.....I just call them cake truffles. Good luck to you!!!

I sell cake pops by the dozen and up. One dozen is $20. I bake a cake in a 9x13 pan and divide it into four sections. One section makes 12 cake pops. You can make very good profit doing it this way. For example, the recipe that I use is for my two layer cake which I sell for $25 (frosted only, no decoration). If I use that same recipe to make cake pops (each section makes 12 pops for $20) that cake recipe is now worth $80. I haven't done any decorated cake pops yet (I would charge more if I did) but I do individually wrap them and put them in a little metal pail with a ribbon tied around it or a decorated box. Hopes this helps.
