I am new at cake decorating. I am passionate about cake but that is not the reason i decided to make it a business. I lost my job a year ago, right at the end of my pregnancy. It has been really hard to find a job again. So since i already had a culinary art degree i decided to take a cake decorating course and start my own business. But its not as rewarding as i tought it could be. In the past when it was just for fun, all my friends and family loved my cakes and baking goods. But when i decided to charge, they did not want anything at all from me LOL. I charge my cakes and other baked goods based on ingredients, servings and the time i put into it. I asked my family for help and in return i give them a discount on their next order. I just have a few pics on my fb page because is kind of new and its has been slow for me. I like to admire other people’s talent but never ever compare to them. A 5 year old could replicate my job. And it takes a lot of effort to become a pro and make a cake similar to the ones here. But i guess i should not punish my self and just keep trying. Good luck with your business.
