Well, as a business analyst, I work with automation projects in many food manufacturers.
Of course, some of them the story of a small unit and it was great - because people like the "flavor" of items for sale.
So get organized, it seems that buyers have. And you can do it bigger.
1) Check the local food market, where prices of cakes that they sell
2) Check the prices of raw materials and energy use of their product
And make an Excel spreadsheet with the actual prices + 20%.
3) Make sure you participate in and contribute to local food buyers attractive.
4) Check the supermarkets and bakeries and pastry ingredients.
After analyzing this situation - and make their calculations of the cost of production in MS Excel - which would have an idea of how much you make your cakes for sale at very competitive prices on the market.
Of course, unless you sell, if you do your job better.
And to your question that you cook for friends, they practice something lIke --
Unsealed when cooking and handling costs + +.
And to add 10% - if they lose some of the ingredients, while his cousin, or cake in the oven.
Example: 500gms chocolate cake is $ 8 to $ 20 are made depending on the extent costs -.
To be less expensive to get a good idea to initial orders and then buy the raw material. (In technical terms - on order) :-)
Remember, you can do it bigger, because people love delicious food.
Let me need a message if you need any help.

If you do not feel good money too, trying to figure out how much you spend on supplies for each cake. Yes, eggs, flour, baking powder, etc., $ 15 and delivery costs, you can bake 5 cakes, each cake cost $ 3 to produce. You can invite a couple of dollars extra for his time, and if your friends are for demende create a cake, then you are obviously willing to pay. Think of it like this ... they would pay for a pastry shop, and probably cost more and not so good tastes like a homemade cake.
1. You need a business license. 2. You need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Health. 3. Take some time to work and what makes sense, and all the ingredients.
$. Can you several batches at once. etc. etc.
Take some business courses.
I bet you get sick very fast cooking
