Hi boys and girls! :D
One of the frequently asked questions (FAQ) that I get is why some of Pip Pops cupcakes or other goodies quite pricey. I appreciate the question. :D
When it comes to pricing, I believe that EVERYONE should be able to enjoy cupcakes, from those with limited budget to those who could splurge on all kinds of cupcakes and frostings. Cupcakes are wonderful and they make you happy! Thus, I try to set a ceiling on my pricing so that everyone can afford my cupcakes.
I always try my best to give you high quality, enticing and yummy cupcakes. In order to achieve this, I never compromise on the quality of ingredients. And I mean high quality, not simply good quality ingredients. As we all know, high quality ingredients are very limited and very expensive as they are usually imported products. Therefore, this affects the pricing that I place on my cupcakes.
I have tried many many times to find a solution to this. One of it was to mix high quality ingredients to "balance out" the cheaper ingredients (thus, lower quality). The result was, to my horror, funny tasting buttercream... bland chocolate cupcakes (oh it was brown alright, but there was nothing chocolatey about it!).... You get the idea. :D
There really is no such thing as compromising quality when it comes to baking or cooking. To produce the best, you must incorporate only the best. :D Insya Allah one day, when I have the benefit of economies of scale, I will be able to lower my prices.
FAQ on Fondant Pricing
Fondants or any other sugar art takes time (a LOTTTTTT), patience, steady hands and creativity. Sometimes, it takes me half an hour to complete each fondant :S And most of the time, I cry to myself and ask, what have I put myself into??? Hehehe.. There is nothing quick or easy about fondant or sugar art creations. :)
Thank you all for supporting Pip Pops! :D
