A few years ago I took the “Big Bird” class from Mike McCarey. Us students were discussing how nice it must be to be in Mike’s position where we could do these grand, exciting cakes every week instead of hum-drum Swiss dot cakes. Mike piped in and said, “Oh, very few customers, even my customers, will pay for a cake like this. I enjoy doing these fantastical cakes as much as anyone, but ‘Swiss dot’ cakes pay my rent every month.”
It really changed my mind about doing cakes a a business. I have had a blast making some of the sculpted cakes, but if I only did those I would have been out of business a long time ago. If you want a design I just did last month or last week? Will that be cash, check , or credit card?
