53aI only stumbled acosrs this side today and I am really glad I did! And thank you so much for triggering this discussion.I am a crafter but I am also a baker in my free time. Recently due to popular demand I set up a part-time baking business. For me the most difficult process was and still is the pricing of my cakes. My prices are probably still not quite on the right level and rather on the low side but it is incredibly challenging finding a fair price structure fair for yourself that is to get paid what your work is worth but also fair to the customer and not to overprice the products.At some point I also considered to sell my cakes via Etsy but very soon I felt that I would never be able to compete with some of the prices and decided not to take this route, I felt like being forced to lower my prices just to be able to sell my products. And I didn't want to diminish myself and the quality of my products by doing this.I believe there needs to be more education, more help for consumers to understand the quality and work which goes into a handmade product but there also needs to be more support for the artists/crafters selling their products to understand how to price the items not in business management terms but in real figures.
