About this Event

It’s time to stop guessing. Invest in yourself and develop a strategy for your pricing! This workshop will provide you with fundamental tools needed to determine the actual cost of your baked goods. We will take an in-depth look at a workbook developed specifically for this class that provides step by step instructions for bakers on how to calculate ingredient and packaging costs, labor, overhead expenses and profit margin. By the end of the class you will be able to confidently price every order so as to ensure profitable pricing for your baked goods. There is a lot of information, so come prepared to take notes.

The goal of this workshop is to provide you with tools to:

  • Calculate your recipe costs with ease
  • Help you recognize the value of your time
  • Empower you to set prices so you make a profit, every time!

Student Testimonials:

“If you are on the fence about taking this class, get off of the fence and take it! Being able to create delicious and beautiful baked goods that your customers crave is only a fraction of what you need to run a successful business. Taking this course will give you the rest! Don’t skip it. You might be surprised at how much you can learn.” Elizabeth B.

“Friends have hired me to make treats for events and I didn’t know where to start with figuring out how to price them. The information and spreadsheet provided are extremely helpful. I highly recommend this workshop.” Kristen M.

“This class helped me understand the breakdown of my baked goods. This reassures me that I need to start charging clients properly instead of undercharging.” Amanda M.
