I have gradually been expanding to offer cake pops and cupcakes in addition to my cakes.  I'm a home baker as a part time business.  

I was just asked to quote on 100 cupcakes for a cupcake tower with a small cake on top.

Would there be a discount given on this quantity of cupcakes versus a couple of dozen?  Should I call local small bakeries and ask what they would charge for that amount?

Any advise would be appreciated!

Thank you!

ANo! It is a lot of work to make 100 cupcakes plus a small cake. I would charge the same. :grin:

Thank you Marian64!

It probably seems like it because you're the one having to make them, but 100 cc's is not a volume order. I've had customers who thought they should get some kind of discount for that amount, but that's not enough to justify it. That's only about 8 dozen. If 100 cc's was a volume order then a hundred serving cake would be, too.

I'm not trying to harp on the subject, just show some other ways to look at it and get a proper perspective.

Howsweet, you are exactly right.  I didn't stop to think of it that way.

Thanks so much!
