Confused about overheads and how to fairly split these costs across your orders.

Or new to all of this and looking for some help getting started.
Hi, I'm Kate.
I understand how tricky it can be to decide how much to charge for your work.
When I started my cake business, I got it so wrong despite my best efforts.
This is the first cake I ever sold. I was new to business and was trying to get everything right. I understood I had to take my prices seriously but wasn't really sure how. I'd devoured every bit of free pricing information I could get my hands to price this cake.
But by the time it was ready to be delivered, I already knew I'd got it really wrong. There was no way that much work was worth so little!
It was time to give my pricing some serious attention. So having exhausted the free stuff, I started paying for information; I bought courses, subscribed to online groups, attended workshops and joined paid communities. I obsessed over other bakers prices, and followed everything anyone had to say on the subject.
but there was always something missing.
Every method I came across skipped one or more essential part of the process!
None of them managed to give me the answers I needed. They kept missing out vital components needed to make an accurate price.
So I developed my own system
I combined the best bits from the methods I'd learnt, developed solutions for the parts I could see were missing and tested my system in my own business.
It took a while to refine, but my system worked!
It incorporated all the components vital for an accurate price
and it accounted for the fact that selling custom designed cake is selling art, not just food.
Next, for my own convenience, I built a calculator...
it enabled me to prepare quotes for any custom designed cake in just a few minutes.
My pricing method made a HUGE difference to my business and saved SOOO much time!
When a potential customer sent a message asking 'how much for this?' I knew exactly how to reply, and...
...I became one of the most high-end cake makers in the region, my order books were full and my customers valued my work. 🥳
