My purpose was to educate brides that they shouldn't take the base price-per-serving at face value, and that as good consumers they should check into what that includes. I always think of that "I Love Lucy" episode where "ten dollars buys you the works". The ten dollars bought her the gears and the motor of the sweeper, then it cost her extra for the electrical cord, the wheels, the metal cover, the hose, etc. My fillings didn't cost me any more than using just plain buttercream icing as as filling so this system worked for me. A bride that expects a super ornate cake with lots of hand-molded detail should expect to pay more than the base price .... I just want the brides to do their homework and understand how some pricing structures work so they can find the perfect cake that fits in their budget!

Not all brides want a filling. Some would do just fine with buttercream. Some designs are much simpler to do than others. Keeping the base price low and charging for extras keeps brides who want simple cakes from paying extra. I would much rather give my brides a choice to keep the price low.my stay-at-home-momma dramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089707747028225086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534714747669717719.post-28749089248576487952010-03-10T20:25:16.071-08:002010-03-10T20:25:16.071-08:00great post... ppl think sheet cakealways equals ch...great post... ppl think sheet cakealways equals cheap... guess again.... <br /><br />Love Ya!<br />Dalis<br /><br />http://nataliecakes.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197061629277829096noreply@blogger.com
