re: Grocery store wedding cake....

jchuck….Yes, I like your idea. Now would be a perfect time to implement the new pricing as well before the bookings come in for next Spring/Summer/Fall. Brides start coming in in January/February and March for next seasons events. I honestly don’t do a whole lot of wedding cakes in the Winter and when I do, they are usually kind of short notice (2 to 4 weeks). Winter in my area is very blustery and cold. I’ve already written up the pamphlet and started on the dummy cakes for photos. In our building we’ve always had an extra storefront that we rented out for a long time then we put in a liquor store for 9 years, then turned it into an engraving studio for 9 years. I closed that a few months ago and we’ve turned the whole area into a cake studio complete with consultation area. I also have room for display cakes but, haven’t had the time to make any yet. We’ve been decorating in the new area for a couple weeks now and absolutely love it!! So much room for everything with our own hand sink and 3 bay dish sink.
