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 estimate costs for your baked goods so you can confidently charge for your time, effort and skills. We will explore websites that help you calculate expenses and take an in-depth look at a customizable spreadsheet that assists you with determining your costs, revenue and profit margin. 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!

"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.
