A little reminder for anyone ordering a handmade cake ๐
When you pay for a cake, youโre not just paying for flour, sugar, eggs and chocolate. Youโre also paying for the time, skill, experience, creativity and care that goes into making it. โค๏ธ
Some cakes can take 10, 15 or even more hours to create, before you even factor in boards, boxes, electricity, equipment and all the other costs of running a small business.
Every cake maker prices their work differently, and we all have different styles and experience.
If a cake is outside your budget, thatโs absolutely okay โ please just find a cake maker whose prices work for you. ๐ Thereโs no need to criticise or undervalue someoneโs work.
Behind every handmade cake is a small business and a person who has put a lot of time and love into creating it. ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ
