    EXCELLENT VIDEO
    You need to REName this video to:
    "Before YOU go into Sugar Cookie Business...
    WATCH this video...
    What you said about TIME is Exactly Right
    I heard someone be so rude about a Sugar Cookie Video and I asked
    Do you KNOW how much TIME it takes to do this?
    Do you KNOW how to decorate Sugar Cookies?
    Have YOU EVER decorated a Sugar Cookie... I mean PROFESSIONALLY.
    Do you KNOW how EXPENSIVE it is for the COLORS... Gels...
    This is not a Bake Sale on a Saturday morning... just like Cupcakes... It is
    TIME CONSUMING... IT is ART... BEAUTIFUL ART...
    People Pay Good Money to do this... because most people CAN"T do it...
    It is a SERVICE...
    Thank you so much for this GREAT Video...
    God Bless YOU...

    I did an incredibly stupid thing. I did a wedding cake last year and made a couple sugar cookies for cake details. As a result I was asked to make wedding favors cookies for this little girl's wedding from church... I naively thought the work load would be similar to a wedding cake... i told her it would be my wedding gift to her. So stupid... amd now I'm making 200 4" cookies with succulent decorations amd a monogram... ummmmm... never again!! So much goes into this! I have sooo much respect for cookie decorators!

      But look on the POSITIVE side of this...
      That is Good Business sense...
      That person will tell so many people... that you can get your money back in no time...
      I am assuming you are in business... needless to say... do not do any for FREE again.
      That was very kind of you... and KARMA will reward you too.
      You are not STUPID... you're giving... Pat yourself on your own back...

    I do cookies and I stand firm on someone shouldn't pay for time as people can be slow and that shouldn't be taken out on the customer.

    • @SarahGraceCookieCo
      @SarahGraceCookieCo  Рік тому +2

      Hi Roxanne! I think my message got lost in translation. I don't mean that customers should be charged a set amount for each hour spend on cookies, that would certainly make for an expensive batch! I simply mean that ingredients may be the only monetary cost involved in cookie making, but that the time we invest is a valuable asset as well, which should be considered when pricing. I personally struggled to build my business when charging only slightly above ingredient costs because my time was tied up creating beautiful cookies, but the profit didn't reflect the labor I was putting in, so there was no way to take on more orders without losing a lot of sleep. I hope this explanation clarifies my intention :)

    People in my area won't pay over $1.00 a cookie. Some even expect 2 for $1.00. I bought everything to start my business and now I'm thinking about returning everything. I'm so frustrated.

  • @aartiebhagolie2375
    @aartiebhagolie2375 Рік тому +1

    Do you take orders of maybe 6 cookies? Or it has to be 12 to be worth the time? For ex. 6 cookies or 6 cupcakes or 6 cake pops, in my case... from people that don't want a lot, just some for themselves. Or do i just keep it at 12.

    • @SarahGraceCookieCo
      @SarahGraceCookieCo  Рік тому +1

      I think that’s up to personal preference, but I liked to start at a dozen just because it made pricing easier for me 🥰
