These are the cupcakes the mother is picking up today for the girl's party at school tomorrow. They're strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream icing and sprinkles. I think they're really good. Not sure how they'll fair with the kids, but I didn't pick the flavor. The first two pictures were, obviously, before sprinkles. I'm getting better at my 1M swirls! :)
Now I will go eat a cupcake. :)

ReplyDeleteJennie, there you go, eating into the profits already. This is the downside of doing something for money, you realize each cupcake can sell for 83 cents (at $20 per 24) so if each of you eats just one, that was $3.33 worth of cupcakes. This takes all the fun out of it. Just teasing you a bit.
Actually, I wonder if your pricing might be too low. I have no idea what cupcakes cost in a bakery, but yours are at least as good as that. Have you checked to see what others are getting for them? A marketing maxim: something is worth whatever a person is willing to pay for it, no more or no less. If your cost is less than that, you make a profit. If your cost is way less than that, you do NOT lower the price, you just make more profit. The cost has nothing to do with the value.
"Homemade cupcakes loving created by hand by an Irish lass in her own kitchen" sounds like more value to me.
Your cupcake display is super awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood news is it made an extra 11, so it wasn't really a profit buster. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tricia!
