Financial report from Jenny's Bread Pudding Business, which has expanded to include the following products:
- Bread Pudding, with homemade Challah
- Sour Cream Walnut Coffee Bundt Cake, with Sugar Glaze
- Coconut Chiffon Cake with Cream Cheese and Buttercream Frosting, and Grated Coconut
- Berry Tart with Short Dough Crust and Vanilla Pastry Cream, with or without Painted Dark Chocolate on Crust
- initial investment—baking supplies (pans, tins, papers, dough cutters, bakery boxes, string, etc., including one mistake of a tart pan I did not use, worth $25): $275.99
- food supplies, as of today: $462.95
- total receipts in my manila envelope (excluding extraneous taxi, video, and "Bead World" receipts): $738.94
- Total intake, via invoices (excluding three orders gratuit, worth approximately $58): $666.05
- TOTAL LOSS SO FAR (not including hours of labor, which I have yet to calculate, but I could): $72.89
- Other side of the coin: Payback so far, not including my initial investment: $203.10, on my way to making back my initial investment of $275.99, and then maybe, maybe, I could begin to make money. Inch by Inch.
Note: There are several variables at work here, including:
- I have not included in my costs: cleaning supplies, including dish detergent, floor detergent.
- There are several receipts from last minute, unfulfilled mise en place shopping at my corner deli, where I have asked for the receipt, which I then have not itemized, so I'm not 100% sure that each of those items have gone toward my baking.
- At same said deli, there is a very sweet worker who would really like to go out with me, and though I have told him I can't join him for a beer, a number of times, he seems to give me recession prices, often charging me only 1/3 of what the price is (though I'm sure the deli's not losing at all), so I don't ask for a receipt then, so 100% of food supplies have probably not been accounted for.
- Perhaps I can knock out 2 and 3 above, and call it even.
