I was going to be making up some of the batter bowl gifts not only have to show at my shows but have at my fairs coming do you guys have a suggestion on if someone is wanting to purchase them what to price them??? If you could respond that would be very helpful
 
I would add up the cost of the cost of the bowl, ingredients, and any decorations, add 20%, and round up to the next even dollar.
 
Funny, I was thinking the same thing...I have a stop and shop next weekend and I bought a bunch of stuff to use as cash and carry so obviously those things I am going to leave as regular price but I am also making up some gift sets to sell...and I was wondering how much to charge.
 
I've heard $20 as typical for them. And that's for plain ones - no decorating, just put back into the box that the batter bowl comes in.
 
Last year I charged $20.00 for them with a fancy holiday ribbon and bamboo spoon. I purchased the three set of spoons and split them between batter bowls. They went over well and noone scoffed(sp?) at the price. This year I am planning on increasing to $25.00. We'll see how it goes.
 
How many did you sell?? Just wondering how many I should bring to a Holiday Fair!

Thanks so much for the ideas of the prices.
 
Hey Christina (and chefsuccessers)....this is Beth in Lewiston! Be sure that if you have the batter bowls pre-packaged in their boxes that you use some clear sealing tape to keep the lids on.

I found that if you have someone who shakes their gifts, the lids may fall off and the food stuffs inside will then be all over.

I've done good tape and then put holiday ribbon over and around the bowl to cover the tape.

And if you haven't checked it out, I started a thread in the theme show area awhile back that asked for gift ideas. I got a few cute ones from that....

Good luck!
 
Sarah, at one bazzar I sold four. Then I did a luncheon show at my girlfriends work and sold five there and made two more to be delivered. I even had a lady order 10 for gifts to be made up.

It depends on how much you want to spend. I would choose two of the recipes you like and make three of each one. If they don't go at the fair you can give them away as gifts, use at another fair or book a "Homemade for the Holidays" show

Hope this helps! Good luck at your fair.:)
