See how your price stacks up in your market
Regional Pricing is your market benchmark, not your calculator. Know your costs before comparing your price: calculate your true selling price in Product Pricing first, then use this tool to compare it with what dessert businesses typically charge in your city and state.
Your market pricing results
Don't charge less than this, you'll lose money.
Premium clientele, signature aesthetic, detailed work.
What each piece works out to inside the dozen.
Most customers expect treat pricing by the dozen. For half-dozen orders, charge ~60% of dozen pricing, never just split in half.
Compare your calculated price with your local market. Price based on your business, not someone else's. These estimates are context, not a price you must match.

Regional Pricing is based on market pricing trends observed across dessert businesses in each city and state, adjusted for tier and order complexity. It is a benchmark that shows what other dessert makers are charging, never a required price and never a substitute for calculating your own costs. Your selling price should always come from your own recipe costs, labor, packaging, overhead, and profit goals first.
Disclaimer: Regional Pricing is a market benchmark, never a calculator and never a source of what you should charge. Your final selling price should always come from your own ingredient costs, labor, overhead, packaging, and profit goals, this tool simply shows how that price compares locally.
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.
