Unit Pricing??

I have been HIRED!! I am officially baking cupcakes for money!!  So exciting and fun! To be able to price the cupcakes I have to figure out the unit pricing for the cupcakes.  This blog will help me to calculate what they will cost!

The pricing of goods on the basis of cost per unit of measure.

Now I am ready for unit pricing!  I figured that it costs me $7.04 to make 24 cupcakes.  The frosting is expensive to make but it is so delicious that the cupcakes would not be the same without it!  I will charge maybe $.50 a cupcake would make the 24 cupcakes $12.00 and I would make around $5.00 for making them.  It is a good place to begin since it is a fun learning "job" for me.    Place your orders I have a price point (for now!)

Today I made a coconut cake for some one's birthday!! It is really really good!
