I’m wondering How Much Would you Pay for a Fresh Raspberry tart with Pastry Cream and Fig Crust.
It provides easily 8 slices. I’m asking fair prices. Also, would you pay for the slice? Thank you for your consideration

I’d probably pay $30-$35 for the whole tart and $4-$6 per slice the combination of raspberry, pastry cream and fig crust sounds amazing! 😊

It just all depends on where you’re located.

How are the figs incorporated? I’m personally not a fig fan so that wouldn’t appeal to me.

I’d pay $50-60 US dollars for this beauty!

I’d pay $6,000.00 USD easily for a personal growth tart

Considering you are in Vancouver, 50 US is reasonable.

Am I buying this from a pastry shoppe or from someone advertising on social media? I would personally not be willing to buy from, let alone pay more for this, coming out of someone’s home kitchen.
If you’re looking to get ~$50 out of it, I would up the garnishing. Gold leaf, micro flowers, small gum paste flowers, or chocolate leaves. Small, delicate, skillful touches.
The mint leaves feel dated and lazy to me. Crystallizing them would also help elevate this idea if you really want mint. This is a beautiful tart you have made, and I understand the work that went into it. Your average person really only sees halved raspberries nicely arranged.

I live in the Vancouver area and comparable 9” pies by well known bakeries retail for 30-45 CAD. 50 US might be a stretch.

Depending on the size of the tart. Since you’re generous with raspberries topping and fig tart base.
A 4 inches round tart, estimating the raw ingredients cost I guess is $8 (in SGD). With that I’m willing to pay approx $$20z

$15 purchase, I could make that at home for $5

right now? looking at the picture? $500 for a slice 😂😂😂

The halved raspberries are giving coiled innards and the flavors don’t complement each other. I’d pass on this for any amount of money, but would expect to see it at 34.99-39.99 at a boutique bakery, 29.99 at a grocery store.

You did a great job cutting all these up, but all I can see is intestines. Whole raspberries look great. Save yourself some time

You should specify the size of the tart. “8 slices” is not enough.

I would never buy something like that. It’s super unappealing to look at. Why would you slice raspberries?

Looks like I will suffer after eating with all the raspberry and fig seeds in my teeth.

$4.99 slice and $35/whole USD.

If you add a little white chocolate or dark chocolate in diagonal lines and a bit of sparkle or gold leaf you could easily charge a bit more. I would base what you charge on cost of ingredients, availability of fresh produce, time spent and the market in your location. I can tell you spent a LOT of time here. I think you can get more than 8 slices. 🙂

20$. Figs are bomb.
Bethsmom05
I’d pay $7 a slice. I think you could charge $45 to $50 for the whole tart because of the crust.

I can buy something like this from the nicest bakery in my area for around $30.

I would not buy that at all. Ima be honest here: the combo of fruit and pastry cream is timeless and delicious. But then, like did you realize you were out of ingredients for a proper crust? That combo sounds awful, too many flavours that dont go together that would drown out the good parts of the tart.
KIS- keep it simple.

Echoing another commenter, that while you did a great job cutting up the raspberries, this coil presentation is not it for me.
Whole raspberries is classic. Or if you want to try something different maybe a sunburst?
On flavors – you could lose the fig. If it’s just in the crust is it really adding anything?
Lemon would be traditional. Could also go with almond.
Ottolenghi has a really nice bay leaf, gin, blackberry trifle in Sweet that I could see adapting well to raspberry. Playing with those kind of flavors, raspberry sumac would be reminiscent of raspberry lemon but a bit different. A very light thyme in the crust would also be nice.

I can’t get past the raspberries looking like fresh hamburger. I’m sorry.
MasticatingElephant
I thought ~$35 USD for the whole thing before reading the other comments. I have a bakery by me in a high COL area that sells fruit tarts for around that price.
You just want $50 because you spent too much time slicing raspberries and want to recoup that cost lol

I get what you’re trying to do here, but it missed the mark. The sliced raspberries look unappealing and the flavors don’t sound right. I would eat it at a gathering for free, but personally wouldn’t choose this, if it were in a display. I do think that you have potential and are creative; just tone it down, it’s just too much imho.

This is artisanal! It can reach up to $50 even – espc if you’re looking in pastry shops by downtown areas. If it is using premium ingredients; the price is higher.

Flavor combo sounds interesting to me, I’d try that.
I can’t comment on prices since I don’t live nowhere near you but I have to ask – did you cover raspberries in something? Unless I were buying that super fresh and literally 5 minutes before serving, I’d be concerned that the fruit will dry out. Where I live bakeries cover fresh fruit in something that resembles flavorless jello – not the best texture but it’s thin and at least it keeps all the fruit fresh and shiny. Overall, I like your decorating style, but I’m not sure if it’s always practical if you want to sell your pastries.

I thought this was steak tartare.

Isn’t it gritty?

Put me in the room with it, by myself. I’ll think of a price.

Depends. One of the prestigious bakeries-40-50€. Less known ones 30

It is super hard to make even minimum wage baking solo. At the grocery store and can’t imagine how they even break even on their baked goods.
There’s a nice bakery in town and you can see the “kitchen” (really a medium-sized industrial space) through glass both from the main floor as well as a second story balcony. They have huge hoppers of flour and all sorts of mechanization. Many of their cakes sell for 3 figures.
I don’t know how you’d price this. I’d love to try it. I’d pay $50 for it, more if it is someone I trust.

I wouldn’t flinch at $60

Weird amount of down voting for OP. OP I worked as a pastry chef in a high end Forbes Five Relais Chateau. If you want to charge $50 a pie you could, just make sure you have that market on foot traffic. Bakeries really rely on foot traffic for sales, people don’t love to go out of their way for a tart. If you are going to charge $6.25 a slice it’ll have to be to rich people.
All these people are downvoting you which I don’t get. Would you downvote an artist for charging $500+ for a painting? Sorry not everything is cheap, but the cost of individually making a product is high. Maybe this tart isn’t too expensive, you’re just not the target market.
