Are your ready to take your idea and business to the next level and Start Your Cake Business?
I know what it is like to have a business that you are passionate about, to work each day for yourself and I know just how rewarding that is. I also know how many cake decorators I have seen try and fail, not because they didn’t have the creative eye, or finely honed decorating skills.
Your friends and family may be saying to you, “Wow, you make awesome cakes! You should start a business!” I know, its how I started! And I have also seen students come through my classes desperate to start a business that will give them more flexibility in their lives, a chance to work at home and a creative outlet.
Watch the Video below to find out more!
But creativity and passion are not enough!
If you want to start a successful cake business that actually pays the bills, you are going to have to use that annoying left side of your brain. Now I know we have heard the classic scenario of the struggling artist and as creative people we love living in the right side of our brain but that is just not going to pay the bills. And the business that you love can soon become a job that you are working at for a few dollars an hour.
The cake decorating industry has gone through some huge changes and massive growth in the past 10 years.
Regulations have become stricter and competition has become fierce and it has become increasingly more and more difficult for home based businesses to meet the requirements and actually make profit.
Here’s the good news!
I have pulled together every ounce of experience that I have had running a cake business and with all the little secret nuggets of information that I have been privy to over the years, including all the lessons that I learnt the hard way (so you don’t have to).
Start Your Cake Business shares all of my experiences and processes, including marketing and business strategies, to help you create a career from a passion.
I have put together a resource packed course, comprising of 8 video modules, and the most comprehensive workbook that you could ever imagine. Giving you every resource that you could need in getting your cake business from pipe dream, to profitable career.
I have noticed that there are two types of people who wanted to run a decorating business.
There were those who wanted a business. A real business that could raise a family and pay the mortgage and then there were those who loved making cakes but just wanted to have what I call a “profitable hobby”. After all a hobby is even more fun when it doesn’t cost you anything to enjoy and perhaps even puts some extra money in your pocket.
In this course, I take you by the hand and walk you step by step through all of the basics to ensure you are set up to achieve whatever your cake dream may be.
So what is included?
The course consists of 8 video modules, in your own private membership website, so we can get right into the nitty gritty.
In addition you will receive an additional 12 modules in your workbook. Packed with information to make sure you are on the path to success.
That is 22 modules of information, and with each chapter you receive workbook questions to help you work through the material. Once you have worked through the material, your answers will form the basis for both your business AND marketing plans.
You will also receive a Business and Marketing forms pack with over 15 customizable forms for you to use in your own business, covering everything from marketing newsletters to client contact sheets.
And a vendor guide to give you all the best places to get your websites, logos, accounting software, stationery and more
Not only will you be learning from me and my exposure and observations to some of the best decorators in Australia but also to your peer group.
The course has been designed so you can work through the modules at your own pace and come and refer back at anytime.
