I agree with what everyone posted! My other advice to you would be practice and find your little niche. Also, figure out your pricing from early on….once you start off too low it’s hard to raise your prices adequately. As a newbie I didn’t charge much – I didn’t feel I had the skill for it, but I have flints who won’t want to pay more than $4 a serving sooo yeah! Do the pricing thing from the get go :)
Other advice – find awesome recipes! Your taste is as much of your trademark as your decorating! I had a client call me one time and ask if I had done a cake for another client because as soon as they tasted the cake they knew it was mine. That’s the quality that will keep customers coming back for more.
Good luck!
