    Thank u so much for this teaching. When an order is being made by a customer, will I tell the customer to wait for me to calculate my cost or should I have a fixed price?

    • @OluchiImoh
      @OluchiImoh  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      You're most welcome.
      The way it's done is to do your costing for your Cakes and have the prices ready. This is what will be your base pricing which will be added to cost-wise if there are other intricate details or toppings.

  • @cocoarose7241

    Thank you for this information, would the hourly rate be included in profits ? How much of a profit percentage should go back to the business ?

    • @OluchiImoh
      @OluchiImoh  Pƙed 3 lety +4

      You are welcome. Using this method, the profit would be included in your hourly rate. And the percentage depends on you as well as the amount you decide to invest again in the business. Other factors are the size of your business and other expenses you incur in running the business.

    Thank you for your teachings. I’m thinking of using real butter in my bakes. But I’m worried about warding off customers because of price. Do many bakers use real butter in Nigeria? Do customers think it’s too pricey

    • @OluchiImoh
      @OluchiImoh  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      You're welcome Catherine. The question I will ask is what kind of Cake business do you want? This will help you sort out that fear to some extent. Yes, I know bakers who do and also those who mix with margarine. It depends on what you honestly want.

    • @OluchiImoh
      @OluchiImoh  Pƙed 2 lety

      Thank you very much Kosisochukwu.
      You would divide the number of eggs Lee crate to get the unit cost. It's the unit cost you'd then use to multiply the number of eggs you're using for that particular recipe.

    For the colour, baking powder and soda how do we count the unit cost...?

    • @OluchiImoh
      @OluchiImoh  Pƙed 2 lety +2

      For the baking powder and baking soda, the easiest would be to divide the cost by the number of teaspoons you have in it. This unit cost will then be multiplied by the number of teaspoons you use for a particular cake flavour and size. For the colour, I'd say pick the least amount you can.
