re: I'm really considering opening a store front

You certainly have the creative ability! I think my concern would be that you end up with less time to be hands on with the cakes and need to use staff more. Depends on what you want to achieve though, how you see your future. It’s hard to comment without knowing about your turnover etc, I have no direct experience so am rambling for no reason, ha, sorry ;)
