This workshop will provide you with fundamental tools to estimate costs for your baked goods and treats so you can confidently and profitably charge for your time, effort and skills.

The tools we will cover in this workshop include apps and websites that can help you calculate your expenses as well as a customizable spreadsheet that will assist you in calculating your costs, profit margin and revenue. There will be a lot of information, so come prepared to take notes. If possible, please bring a laptop that with Excel that can accept a flash/USB drive. We will have some spares to share if you don't have one available.

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

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

It’s time to stop guessing. Invest in yourself and develop a strategy for your pricing!
