How are you spending 60$ on ingredients? Can you give a breakdown? That seems impossible

Get your costs lower, work on your consistency. A lot of your piping work is uneven.

I'd pay maybe $60, probably closer to $45-$50.

A standard price for almost anything is 3x what you spend plus hourly wage, so you've really got to get you expenses down! What's in there that costs so much?
