I have pulled together every ounce of experience that I have had running a cake business and with all the little secret nuggets of information that I have been privy to over the years, including all the lessons that I learnt the hard way (so you don’t have to).

Start Your Cake Business shares all of my experiences and processes, including marketing and business strategies, to help you create a career from a passion.

I have put together a 4 week course where you will work through 8 video modules, and the most comprehensive workbook that you could ever imagine. Giving you every resource that you could need in getting your cake business from pipe dream, to profitable career. You will also be able to join our exclusive Facebook group for SYCB course attendees only!

In a class I used to run with two other decorators about business basics, I noticed that there were two types of people who wanted to run a decorating business.

There were those who wanted a business. A real business that could raise a family and pay the mortgage and then there were those who loved making cakes but just wanted to have what I call a “profitable hobby”. After all a hobby is even more fun when it doesn’t cost you anything to enjoy and perhaps even puts some extra money in your pocket.

This course is however far more than a checklist of things you need to do to start your business. (Although you are going to get that too)

This is a course that will take you on a journey, address your fears and motivations so you have a clear picture of what you want your business to be.

It will equip you with the skills needed to run not just to sell cakes but to run a successful, profitable business. The information I am going to give you will help you no matter where you are in the world and even if you run a completely different business!! The tips and tricks I am going to give you are going get you in the right mindset to be a successful business owner.

This course is suitable for you no matter where you are in the world. Whilst resources are given, many of them are online resources and we have provided regulatory links for Australia, USA and UK. Most of the information however is valuable insights, business advice and tools that are applicable to anyone working in a home based creative business ANYWHERE in the world.

In this 4 week course, I take you by the hand and walk you step by step through all of the basics to ensure you are set up to achieve whatever your cake business dream may be.

TESTIMONIALS

“Thank you for providing this course. Not only has it given me the knowledge and skills to know the in’s and outs of opening a business, It has given me the confidence, as a single mum also, to make my dreams become reality . With the valued information you have provided I have been able to get the green light to open my own home based business. Im still in the process of obtaining my food licence, but with out this course I still would be thinking about it and not have been pro-active to go out and do it on my own. This course has been worth every cent.”
