Pricing question

Mrs.Thistletwat · September 2010

I'm selling cake pops next week for a work fundraiser. I'm trying to recoup what I spent (roughly $75 - though that'll count as a donation and I won't be taking it out of the profits) and double it.

My thought was 2 pops for $3. Is that too much? What would you pay for something like that?

Please note that I have been bombarded with emails, calls and visits to my desk asking if I would be selling them again this year

how big are they? I know they're super cute and labor-intensive, but $1.50 per pop seems high to me.

How many did you sell last year/what did you charge?

DG1 · September 2010

hmm. Except everything is more expensive in NYC. So maybe it's perfect.

Mrs.Thistletwat · September 2010

Last year I made $143 by selling them for 3 for $2.

People are paying for the cuteness, not the snack...at least I hope not. And it is for charity. I would pay $2 for a super cute one.

How many are you making? At that price you'll hit your goal if you sell 100 pops. That sounds reasonable. I'd spend it.

I baked two cakes. I'm thinking I'll get about 150-160 pops out of that.

One cake is red and will be dipped in orange chocolate and rolled in red sanding sugar. The other cake is orange and will be dipped in red chocolate and rolled in orange sanding sugar. They'll all be tagged with a little tag that states the event that it's supporting.

I think 2 for $3 is perfect. I'd pay it (you know, as long as they were hairfree)

$3 for 2 seems reasonable, especially since it's a charity event.

zsazsa-stl · September 2010

2 for $3 is reasonable. I take back by $2 if there isn't a little face or turkey legs or something. :P

Mrs.Thistletwat · September 2010

You know my pops are hairfree, CW.

Heffalump · September 2010

I would pay that. Hell, I'd probably pay more.

Cant_wait! · September 2010

I just always have to emphasise my preference for hairfree baked goods! They're worth more
