Telling You How Much I Charged For Some Recent Cakes!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- In this video, I'm sharing some prices of my recent cakes with you! I will give you a few different prices of cakes between 1-4 tiers with varying levels of detail. Pricing is trial and error. And even after 20 years, I still don't always get it right! But I hope this helps you figure out how much you can charge for your custom cakes. I have other pricing videos that go into further detail about how to figure out how much to charge and they are linked below.
Let me help you elevate your cakes to the next level!

You are so real, this is a REAL difficult job and many doesn’t realized how much is involved. Thanks! Love you
Love you too! 💜
I love how months later I am coming back here to MAKE sure I don't undercharge before giving someone a quote tomorrow. Thanks for always sharing your prices! xoxo
💜🙏💜
You are so very talented. Your cake designs are very detailed. Your work is clean, neat, and precise. The patience you must have is off the charts because this type of cake decorating is so time consuming. May God continue to bless you with much success.
Renee! You're the sweetest, Thank you so much 😊
Your prices are so reasonable wow! So much work goes into your beautiful cakes! You deserve more ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi, Karolyn, your cakes are all beautiful, very professional looking and worth every penny. I have learned quite a bit watching your videos, especially about making edible images and lettering to decorate my cakes. Thank you!
Dolores! You're welcome honey! 🙏
Those discounts were SUPER generous for the work you put into it and the amount of servings. You're super kind.
(Ross Geller voice) Thhhhhhankkkk youuu! 😂
People on YT tell me all the time I charge too much but they don't realize that I'm constantly going above and beyond for my customers!
@@KarolynsKakes you absolutely do! You're such a professional and your attitude is contagious. Don't stop being my inspiration in the cake world.
❤ this subject and reading the comments… No matter what people are going to have mixed feelings about this subject because either they are a customer or they’re the baker… But the truth is that it needed to be said!! And I for one am glad that you charge your worth!! You make beautiful cakes and people are willing and wanting your your unique style of cakes 😊
Thank you love! Trust me, it took me YEARS of undercharging and losing money before I realized that I had to charge to make it worth my time or else I would have had to stop making cakes. I feel like a lot of people are in that boat. The people ordering from us would never work for pennies, so why should they expect bakers to?
Thank you once again! I was thinking about this the other day when I got my hair done.....women PAYYYY to get their hair done, nails, eyelashes, etc etc.. and hundreds!.....so much time is spent on making these cakes...its worth these prices!
Exactly!
You are God sent. Thank you for always sharing with us. Bless you. ❤
You're welcome honey! 💜
I love your work. People don't realize the time that is put into it. Inflation also plays a part. Great job
BIG part!!💜
I live in Welland Ontario in Canada 20 minutes from Niagara .
I am actually shocked at the prices you charge for your cakes. They are definitely worth it, and you are worth it!!! I do cakes with 3D characters and ask about a third of what you are getting. 😢😢. People just don't realize how much time we spend on the entire process. I love you, and you are such an inspiration to me!! I just run a small business out of my home because I can no longer stand for 8 hours with my arthritis.
That's why I offer 3 different options when quoting my cakes (simple design, mid-level design, detailed design). People think custom cakes take as much time to make as a grocery store cake! They really can't appreciate it until they try to make one themselves.
And I went to Niagra last year with my ex. We loved it there, it was so beautiful!
I really appreciate sharing your prices! It really help when it comes to pricing
Happy to help!🙌🏼
BEAUTIFUL cakes you know your worth I think your prices are good you are the TICK TICK BOOM 💥 MY SISTER 😊 from Mary all the way from Kentucky ❤
Thanks Mary all the way in Kentucky! Sending love from PA 💜
The wedding cake is my fave. But they are all beautiful.
Thank you! That one was so much fun to make😊
I laughed at your comment about the cupcakes. I make hundreds of them every week and yes, they drive me nuts, too! They take a little longer than a cake as far as baking/packaging. I charge $30 for anywhere within 5 miles of me or $2/mile one way for anything over 5 miles away. Not only do we have to pay for gas, but also for repairs and general upkeep of your car, so I don't have an issue with charging this much. It might even go up if gas continues to climb.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
I love your work, all of your cakes are amazingly gorgeous 💕
Maria! I appreciate you girl 💜
Great video! I don’t get that much for cakes out here in this Rurrrral area, lol. But I love the peace and tranquility of the woods and my creek and all the acreage. A word of advice for anyone who isn’t getting that much for your cakes because of a rural location. Get an edible printer! People don’t wanna pay for all the hand cut fondant work. But they’ll pay for an edible image and that still looks nice. There are some people that just don’t care what it costs, they just want a custom cake. I love those customers, lol
Yes!! This is great advice! And it's something I offer all the time. And I'm working a lot now so I can get myself a house in nature some day!
@@KarolynsKakes you’re gonna have to practice saying rural, lol
Love you girl and your hard work ethic!
Love it, you’re so real, not many RUclipsrs would do this ❤️
I love the piping on the Wedding cake !
That one was fun to make!
You are so talented. I love your work and btw, Biggie is my favorite rapper.😊
Thanks Mo! It's Eminem for me! 💜🙌
HI! Can you talk more about how you travel with your cakes?

Hi I know you’ve shown how to make buttercream frosting but how do you make black buttercream frosting that doesn’t have that bitter taste
I am from South Africa so if you have any otherd from here, maybe they can also share their prices so that I know if I'm on track, please
Hi ,question about the cupcakes what size are the liners…the cupcakes look so beautiful ❤
These are the ones I use all the time. They are just regular size cupcake liners.

I’m in the city in upsatate NY I don’t charge as much as you because I’ve only been making cakes for 4 years but I am pretty good and my skill is mid level . I don’t charge as much as you but my 6 inch cakes start to $100 and I took them down to start at $60 thinking it was too much but now I know it’s not
I just got an ice cream cake for my mom's birthday at the grocery store. It was really small (smaller than a 6") and was like $25. And that's a generic mass-produced cake. Custom cakes take a lot more time and skill so they shouldn't be as cheap as grocery store cakes!
Thank you for sharing! Do you ask your customers beforehand if they are ok with sharing prices? Just curious, if I ever wanted to do the same I’d worry about someone getting upset for whatever reason !
I never asked anyone, it's what I charge. I can't see why anyone would get upset!
Do you have any videos on edible images and when to apply fondant when using edible images? I’m having issues with condensation. Please!!! Help me. Thank you

Hello Karolyn, I wanted to let you know I really appreciate you. Your cakes are amazing. If you have the time I could use some information. I was curious how you decide on your prices, is it your time, is it the design or is it something else. If you could answer that for me I would be so thankful.
I always tell people size and detail determine price. I can make 2 tiered cakes that cost more than a 4 tiered cake because the 4 tiered cake has simple decorations and the 2 tiered cake has tons of handmade fondant details. I personally really try to figure out how long it will take me to decorate, then try to price it accordingly. (Mainly because decorating takes the most time. I can bake, fill, frost a cake in no time.)
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you for responding to me so quickly!
Were those real macarons on the cake with the fondant bow?
Nope! I made them out of fondant. I show how in this video!
ruclips.net/video/0H_RTEAQLM0/видео.html
You don't have the third tier membership anymore?
People kept cancelling and not taking advantage of the one-on-one calls and email access. So I'm just trying to figure out something else. 🙏
I definitely undercharge. I made a two tier (6" & 9") cookie monster cake and only charged $225 🤦♀️
It all depends on the detail of the design, your location, etc. I'm not sure what the cake looked like, but if you subtract the cost of supplies / ingredients from the $225, then divide that number by how many hours it took you to make, you can figure out how much you made per hour and see if it's worth it!
All I can say is....go Girl! 🎉 lol I'm sure
Demasiado costoso por tus pasteles 😂
El precio es subjetivo.
Yo soy Repostera Profesional en Las Artes Culinarias por más de 30 años. Y con base a lo que he calculado usted exige un cobro demasiado alterado de lo normal. Sea como sea yo se de este negocio. Quizás las leyes de Pensilvania o Philadelphia (Food Cottage Law) para negocios caseros le brinden esa oportunidad de cobrar lo que le plazca. Pero nada que ver siga haciendo sus pasteles y hágase rica 🤑 a cambio. Felicidades por los trabajos hechos.
I don't think you charge too much for any of them. They are so worth every penny and more. The time it takes and the cake, and recipe itself is worth it!! I have used your recipe only and everyone says they've never had a cake that good before. And the butter cream as well!! They are to die for 😋🎂🧁
This makes me so happy! It really is so good! 🙌💜
