Hey I love your video! I was just wondering if the voice audio was supposed to go out for the part where you go through the ingredients list? The captions work fine though!

This is awesome!!! I would love to see your spreadsheet.

Hey! Absolutely! You'll just need to convert from US to whatever your currency is, and then change the formula in the cells. I'm sure you can google it or find someone to help you who knows Excel. Good luck! Also!.. Bake Diary works with all currencies! www.bakediary.com use coupon code: PASSIONTOPROFIT for a discount!

I go to bakers bodega too! I wonder if it’s the same city? This is really helpful 💗

This is the one in Baldwin Park!

To your main point of: how much should I charge for X ... there is and should be an argument made that choosing to not buy in bulk for generic (important term) items that are easily and readily available consumables should not be a cost that is passed on to your customers. For example, if you choose to use only robinhood flour, and you always use AP, and you buy it at a small store or even the same store in small quantities, which results in over twice the cost of the flour as to buying the exact same flour in a bigger size, that is mismanagement of funds. How is this relevant and why should this cost not be past on to the customer? Well, there are a few sides to this argument. I higher volume baker and (important term) a same volume baker buying in quantity, under the exact same building and coding circumstances, producing the exact same quality (important term) would be able to sell their product at a cheaper rate, while still getting paid the exact same in profit. So, given supply and demand of the market, should both be equally known to the same market, the second producer would always gain more in sales. However, it is important to note that just because something is bought in lower quantity, it does mean that it is identical to something sold in higher quantities. For example, choosing to buy real vanilla beans, and creating your own vanilla extract with vodka is not the same thing as buying a bottle of vanilla extract, even listed as real and pure, not even at the most high end store. Customers will often choose to buy handmade. Anyways, I was confused when you opened your video: how much would you pay for this ... it leaves a lot of questions: is this a customer presenting you with an idea or request, asking you how much you would charge for an item they want you to make? Or is this a friend who is asking you your opinion for the same, or perhaps for a product they want to make themselves? Or is this a competitor who you could care less about asking you to answer this type of question? Good video, confusing and unfounded at times, but it really makes you think.

If I don't own a home computer is there something similar to excel that I can from on my iphone

Hey Melinda, I'd definitely recommend Bake Diary! It's not an app, it's web-based, so you would just go to bakediary.com from your phone, sign up and input your costs and recipes from there! Use the promo code PASSIONTOPROFIT for a discount too!
