Can you make money selling diaper cakes

How do you figure out how much to charge? Im currently just starting out, So Im kinda just doing it by the cost of the stuff, And charging like 10 bucks extra for me making it, But it still comes out to alot of money using the cheapest things possible. And People I know just don't hve that much money laying around. Like My 4 tier diaper cake At the cheapest comes out to be about 75 bucks. Thats diapers, 4 bottles, A topper, Ribbon If I already have it If not the cost of their ribbon And my I Personally wouldn't pay that much, But it Costs that much to make it.

So How do you charge people? That is typically how much they cost. If you want to have cheaper options, make a smaller cake and put less stuff on it. Thats about all you can do really. I've never charged for one of my cakes, but I give them as gifts when I go to showers. Its fun to make them: I have never charged for them eather I just make them and give them as gifts but Im not going to just give them away to people I don't know, I just don't have that kind of cash lol.

Especially when you consider the amount of work that has to go into them! I teamed up with three other ladies to make one, and it still took a lot of work! That's better than the prices you pay online Chuck Bass was right, if they're too expensive, simply cut down the size of the cake.

Yeah, I know what you mean! Once a friend of mine wanted me to make one so she could give it to her friend. She brought me the stuff and gave me a bottle of wine for my work lol.

I mean my stuff isn't THE BEST. Thats why Im not charging much for my work just the cost of things. But Its still alot of money coming from the people who want them y know. I've never sold one before, But I give them s gifts Did you see my diper castle? And I hve 3 people wanting me to make them one , One of them is for Sunday.

I have never met two of them So I just can't make it like here ya go free stuff lol. Tell me about it! It seems like forever ago when I was at the doctors last. I go on the 15th for my regular OB appointment. So July at the earliest. D He said that just because I have had miscarriages in the past, that it does not make me high risk. Just be careful not to try to compete only on price. People mostly buy based on emotion, not on price myself included. I'm not suggesting you rip people off either.

What happened to me when I was making diaper cakes and other crafts for people is that I lowered my prices so much that I was so busy making them that it wasn't fun anymore. Charge a reasonable amount that allows you to make a little money, but not get so many orders that you burn out.

A lot of people seem to be saying, Hey I am so nice I just make them for all my friends.

Well that's great, but if like me, you have people coming out of the woodwork wanting one for everyone they know, you can't possibly spend all that time making diaper cakes for them, unless you get compensated.

And what is wrong with having a small home business? Perhaps she is trying to make a little money to help make ends meet. User Menu Log in.
