re: Cake Controversy

Instagram have been letting users of the hashtag #cakePORN #COCKtail etc that they’re going to be clamping down on it, a friend who does a lot of food photography told me yesterday. Personally I’m not offended although probably wouldn’t think to use it myself either.

Scratch vs box…sigh! Never to be resolved my friend! Ha. I would say it depends how it’s presented to the customer. I would actually feel I was cheating in that I promote myself as a quality custom cake maker…and to me that means scratch. If however cakers are up front about the use of them then fair play. It’s frustrating as a small business owner to be constantly undercut – perhaps mixes are part of that equation?!…

Part of me is more tolerant and part of my less so as I get older! Haha!
