I just wanted to say I know we have both posted on craigslist at the same time before but for me that was an endless and consuming waste of time. I had one order that worked out great even though she was still the most difficult person to work with and wanted everything for nothing, I do also have her wedding cake coming up so that worked out. Apart from that though it was sketches for free then when I asked for deposits to continue they would never come back so that for me is something I will not do again. Word of mouth is all I have used. Make sure you get the right clients and for me that meant doing some free cakes or really cheap cakes but they are now my number one clients. You want clients who do not argue over price, your time is worth it so don’t under charge for too long eventually you have to make progress and that means the right price for your cake. Even though we are in the same area I wish you luck and hope you have great success. If I ever get too busy I can’t do an order I will gladly send them your way.
