Hi All!!
I will be increasing my prices on June 1, 2022. I said I was going to increase my prices two years ago, and I am still barely charging for my time for the custom cakepops. The major reason for the price increase is that they take a lot of my time!! A LOT!! I have to scratch bake the cakes, mix it, hand roll it, shape it, dip it, decorate it then sometimes hand paint it, as well as make little fondant accents and add other candy decorations. Then, I have to package it and sometimes individually wrap each one. I have to prep weeks in advance to make sure I have supplies and packaging. I have to prep fondant decor well ahead of time. And sometimes paint in a rush very last minute so the paint looks good. It takes a minimum of 6-12 hours total over multiple days for a dozen cakepops if you think of all these steps I take 😳 Much much more time for the very detailed custom orders.
My full time work situation has recently changed. Cakepops are now my 2nd “job” and I am a busy mom of 2. I’m also a one woman show!!!
If you’ve ordered from me in the past you know the quality of my work from decor to taste to packaging. I hope you can understand my thoughts behind this decision.
**Cakepops prices will now start at $36 per dozen as the minimum and go up based on the complexity of the characters or designs. That is a dozen basic plain cakepops will be $36 as the minimum order. Anything custom themed will be priced based on the artistic difficulty. Wrapping, packaging and delivery will also be an additional fees now.
I understand that my treats are sometimes not in your budget. It’s ok! If it’s not, please be honest and just let me know. I appreciate the honesty! Don’t be mean! Keep me in mind for next time, maybe it will work. I know my self worth based on my talent and time.
If you have already booked with me in May and we’ve discussed price, I will still honor it. However, I’m am fully booked through June 1! It is, what it is based on my personal availability.
Please message me far in advance to save your event with the quantity for the date….early!!!!! Even further if around a holiday month. We can discuss specific details later. Again, please respect that I’m a one woman show and this is not my full time job. I’m only able to physically take so many orders per week. I get really busy around holidays so I have to stop taking any custom orders or birthday orders for the entire week of holidays. Beginning now!
Sorry for this long post. I really appreciate all of your support, your loves❤️, likes👍🏻,comments☺️ and shares👏🏻, plus referrals and of course repeat orders and tips💵 (yes I take them🤣). This has been a crazy few past years, I’m at the point of feeling comfortable with my worth. As for my other sweet treats and items, prices will increase as well and those items maybe limited to posted availability around holidays or priorities for very advance notice. I reserve the right to say NO, if I can’t accept the order. Please respect that😌
Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
Love ya!
