Four things every treat maker has to charge for
Your pricing isn't just ingredients + a tip. It's a real business equation. Here's what goes in.
Every hour you spend baking, decorating, and packaging is labor that deserves to be paid, not absorbed into 'I love it so it's fine.'
Profit is what funds new equipment, marketing, taxes, and your future. Pricing 'cost + a little' isn't a business, it's a hobby.
Mixers, ovens, electricity, insurance, packaging, licenses, gas. Every order uses a slice of all of it, your price must cover that.
A dozen strawberries in Charlotte isn't priced like one in Manhattan. Cost of living, demand, and clientele all shift the market.
