This doesn't mean I built a business to overcharge people either, but business expenses can be high.
Energy
Cleaning products
Packaging
Insurance
Water
Not to mention time spent planning, designing, shopping, baking and cleaning.
I love what I do and I'm not complaining, but I won't compete with another baker's prices, and I'm also not going to be bartered with.
My prices are my prices, which yes, I have increased since I started out due to ingredients costing A LOT more than they did. But there are also some bakers out there charging way more than I am. I'm very reasonable.
I can't work out if some people are completely oblivious to the cost of things now, or if they just expect home bakers to be priced like Greggs.
I have MANY returning customers so I know I'm not extortionate (thank you π)
I built my business to be flexible round my children, because I love what I do and to have something for me.
I can earn minimum wage stacking shelves without the stress (nothing wrong with that, but I don't want a boss π€£)
So please, remember it isn't just eggs, flour and sugar, and that I'm living through the same cost of living crisis as everybody else.
Time is money, otherwise what is the point?
If you have a budget, let me know, I can help with more realistic designs x
