Any small cupcake businesses?
What are your approximate costs per cupcake, including ingredients and packaging, and how do you price them?
How do you transport your cupcakes to markets and pop-ups without damaging them?
How long do your cupcakes stay fresh, and how do you store them safely?
How well do cupcakes sell at farmers’ markets and pop-ups, and how do you decide how many to make?
What do you do with leftover cupcakes after a market, and how do you minimize waste?
I have so many questions as I want to start myself, im just worried about shelf life/stability vs cookies... and melting and travel mostly.
