Pricing to Sell Baked Goods

RE: Pricing to Sell Baked Goods Post by T&T Grandma (7) | (10/15/2007) Contact Take a quick trip to the local grocery, see what they sell that you and I pick up all the time! Fresh bread baked will bring more than the store cost. Homemade donuts and other specialities such as ethnic or holiday foods packaged 4 to a plate will grab that nibbler as they pass. We did one recently, my breads were marked too cheap. I put them bakery priced--someone walked up and took all the french bread--they were going to freeze them. If you are a non profit group you can mark a little higher. If for your own profit, stick to the medium as not to bring home lots BUT cover your cost of ingredients. I have purple ribbon winning breads-- Grandma J RE: Pricing to Sell Baked Goods Post by DL1052MCD (17) | (10/15/2007) Contact Thanks for the idea about the spoons. I may save that for the show near Christmas (it's a little warm here for hot chocolate right now)! LOL We're thinking of selling bottled water, too. Found out today that we will be right across from a "food vendor wagon" selling funnel cakes, cotton candy, etc., as well as soft drinks.

We never did over 50 cents but I would say a cake slice for 75 cents or 1 dollar. Another idea is to melt chocolates any kind and dip plastic spoons in them, once hardened, wrap with plastic, tie a bow and sell for 50 cents. These are coffee and hot chocolate stirrers. Good luck with your sale! RE: Pricing to Sell Baked Goods Post by DL1052MCD (17) | (10/13/2007) Contact Thank you! The coffee idea is great. I don't drink it, so didn't even think of that! I will try to figure the cost of ingredients and go from there. RE: Pricing to Sell Baked Goods Post By Me (Guest Post) (10/13/2007) Well, if you want to ensure that you get the right value for your time and efforts, professional bakers, as a rule, charge ingredients times 2 or 3 (depending on cost and difficulty). Good luck. RE: Pricing to Sell Baked Goods Post by michawnpita (332) | (10/13/2007) Profile | Contact Things that are easy to pay for are always good, say $.50 or a dollar, easy in the pocket money. I would say for really simple things go for $.50, like a small cookie for a kid. Or say 3 cookies for a $1, you can get away easily with nice sized rice krispy treats for $1. Sliced cake, if you slice it and package it nice, with a fork and all, I would say $1.50 or 2, have a coffee maker with a "free" cup of coffee with a slice of $2 cake would sell it. Hope that helps some!
