I’m in the same predicament. I am self taught, and have had a couple of wedding cake requests that I’ve had to turn down, as I’m not a business. I won a national competition which piqued people’s interest. If/when I start charging for cakes I want to do it by the book, and not charge too cheaply. My skills need honing first anyway, so I want to practice for a couple more years.
Julied I think your cakes look great, they are better than a lot I have seen from cake companies on facebook. You could certainly charge for your work.
Julez, I’m astounded that you don’t have a business – your work is amazing!
