๐จ BENTO CAKE REALITY CHECK: Are you really making money or just busy baking? ๐๐ธ
Many home bakers sell 4" Bento Cakes at โฑ250 thinking:
"Mura lang naman ingredients, malaki na tubo ko dito!"
Let's break down the REAL numbers:
๐ Ingredients / Grocery: โฑ110
๐ฆ Bento Box, Wax Paper, Ribbon & Candle: โฑ45
๐ฉโ๐ณ Labor, Gas & Electricity: โฑ80
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Total Real Cost = โฑ235
If you sell it for โฑ250:
๐ Your actual profit is ONLY โฑ15! ๐ฑ
โฑ15 for 2-3 hours of baking, whipping, chilling, meticulous piping, packaging, and chatting with clients? You deserve so much more for your talent and hard work!
๐ก Don't guess your prices. Factor in your labor, overhead, and packaging so you build a profitable bakery business, not an unpaid hobby.
