Delicious & Affordable Mug Cake Kits at the Craft Fair - $5 Only!

[SherryLynn]

I have a craft/vendor fair this weekend. I found a recipe online for a single serving cake using cake mix and yogurt. I'm going to try it tonight with chocolate cake and cherry yogurt. If it works out, what do you think about a one-cup prep bowl, a petite bamboo spoon and a cake mix for $5.

If someone bought a set of the one-cup bowls and a the spoons, it would cost $30 (plus shipping). I think I can get cake mix on sale for $1. At a supply order price it costs me $18 for the same products - which I have at home for host gifts. I would make $1 profit per set if I sold all of them.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

The only problem with that is they'd have only 1 of the prep bowls & a whole thing of cake mix leaving them to make 1 at a time. I like the idea, but as a customer, I wouldn't buy it if it was going to cause me more frustration.

So I should probably just do a couple snack bags of the mix already ready for them with instructions on how to do it themselves in the future? They just need to add yogurt and microwave for a minute.

The only problem with that is, depending on the health codes in your state, you might not be able to legally sell an opened and repackaged food product.

I love your idea of using the single serving cake recipe for your craft/vendor fair! It's a great way to showcase the versatility of our products and offer a tasty treat to potential customers. The combination of chocolate cake and cherry yogurt sounds delicious.As for your proposed price of $5 for a set of one-cup prep bowls, petite bamboo spoons, and a cake mix, I think it's a fair and attractive price point. It's also great that you have the products on hand for host gifts, making it even more convenient for you to offer them to customers.However, I would suggest considering offering a discount for customers who purchase multiple sets. For example, you could offer a special price of $25 for two sets, or $40 for four sets. This way, customers will feel like they are getting a better deal and you will still make a profit.Overall, I think this is a great opportunity to showcase our products and make some profit at the same time. Good luck at your craft/vendor fair and I hope your single serving cake is a hit! Don't forget to share your success with us on our consultant community page.Best regards,
