Pls Advise Me On A Recipe For 80 Cupcakes. by Damdeyz(m): 7:20pm On Jul 23, 2018

Pls house, help a brother. I'm into the cupcake making business, but I've been having problems reaching my cupcake target of 80pieces and its resulting into loss for me.

The major problem is that the recipe below only produces an average of 67 cupcakes and the cupcakes are not that big. Though I sell for #50, people say it's too small for #50.
Pls how do I increase its size and also increase my production to at least 80 pieces.

I do not know the measurements in grams and kilos but I'd list my own form of measurement.
I will list my recipe below.

Flour: 10 level (peakmilk )cups.
Sugar: 3 level (peakmilk) cups.
Eggs: Medium size 20eggs.
Butter: 4 Simans butter (250g each).
Baking powder: 3 Level tablespoons.
milk mix flavor: 1/4 cup.
Preservative: 1/2 teaspoon.
Flavor: 5 tablespoons.

Pls your advice and critiques will be welcomed. Thanks house.

I think the way your business is growing, you need a scale.
2.1and half kg will give you what you are looking for.
3.24 eggs to each 1kg.
4.when you mix your butter n Suger very well,you honestly don't need anything milk flavour.Why? Because,a properly mixed butter and sugar is already giving you the teast of added milk.
5.1 bottle of flavor to each 1kg you mix.
I think,this should help you a long way.

Increase the size,and sell for #100,or maintain the normal size for that same amount?
My brother,we all know cake materials are not cheap any longer.Turn over its just all you need to keep it moving.
In KGS,6magrines is 1& half kg.
In baking your butter is suppose to be equal to your flour.Thats why I said you need a scale.Or better still,wey your flour using the seller's scale in the market to give you a better result before you buy yours which is very important to your business.
Eggs will be 24+12=36.
300 kg of Suger should be fine,it all depends on how very sweet you want it to teast.

hey. I've not gotten the scale. I continued my production regardless, however, I changed my butter from Simas to Napa butter and the result was awesome. I will get a sample of my package and upload it in a bit. Wishing you all the best.

Damdeyz:

About the Simas, I was told to change in here, on this platform when I listed out my baking ingredients. I don't really know, but after changing to Napa, the cake became more fluffy and began to taste more delicious.
In terms of profitability, I bake 50naira and sell at 43.2 Naira to market women and stores. The concession I give out cuts into my profit because I do not sell to final consumers; so for now little profit. But seems I'm looking to conquer at least half of the L.G.A. I'd have to be patient till my product has fully penetrated the market and demand is on the high side. However, you could sell to final consumers and get profit. for example if I bake 5,000 Naira worth I get 2,200 after deducting costs. Profit in cake business though comes from your rate of turn-over; how much can you sell in a day? This will greatly determine how much money you rake in. And lastly, if you think the locals in your vicinity can afford 100Naira, Please bake 100Naira and sell. The size difference between 50 and 100naira is very little. Above all, just bake delicious cakes and don't compromise quality for gains, people will give you lot of calls when they ascertain the quality of your cakes.

Thanks so so much. I appreciate!
the profit is OK.
Please how long can the cake stay before it goes bad?
please can you upload a sample of yours?
If you can share your recipe, I will so much appreciate.
Thanks so much for making out time to reply.
May God bless your handiwork!

Sorry bros

First things first

I like ur determination

That's what drives a business

Now back to your question

Cake making involves recipe with standard measurements

Even if I give u the recipe to increase your capacity
How would u measure

If you can't afford a scale

Get measuring cup and spoon

There are digital scales of about 2.5 k in the market

Where are u based.
