Pricing
At A Taste of Heaven, I believe in fair and transparent pricing that reflects the quality, skill and time invested in each bake. The pricing is structured as follows:
Base price (Ingredients and overheads)
Each cake, brownie or baked good has a base price, which covers:
-
high-quality ingrediants
-
Overheads (electricity, packaging, rent, equipment maintenance)
-
Business sustainability (profit margin for reinvestment)
Base prices vary depending on the size and type of bake. You can find a starting price guide below.
Labour costs (custom designs & complexity)
Labour costs are calculated separately based on:
-
Time spent baking, decorating and assembling
-
Complexity of the design
-
Additional custom elements (hand-painted details, sugar flowers, intricate piping, ect.)
Once I have the full design details from you, I will provide a final labour cost estimate before confirming your order.
Estimated labour rates
To give you an idea, labour costs typically range from:
-
£12-£20 per hour for standard cakes
-
£20-£30 per hour for highly detailed or custom cakes
The total labour cost depends on the hours required to complete your order.
Example pricing breakdown
Here's an example of how pricing is calculated:
8-Inch custom cake
-
Base price (ingredients & overheads) = £59
-
Labour (3 hours at £15/hour) = £45
-
Final price = £104
20 cm Brownie
-
Base price (ingredients & overheads) = £39
-
Labour (2.5 hours at £15/hour) = £37.50
-
Final price = £76.50
