Side Hustle - Cake Decorating Biz

Fab Tips for starting your own Cake Decorating Biz - Excerpted from My Small Biz


Cake Decorator Business Overview - Use your creative talents and flair for frosting to start a small business as a Cake Decorator! Your business will produce beautifully decorated cakes for weddings, parties, and other major events. Whether you bake the cakes yourself is entirely up to you. Depending on your interests and business size, you may just choose to purchase unfinished cakes from local bakeries and do the decorating yourself.

Keys To A Successful Cake Decorator Business - Word of mouth spreads quickly in this business. Try giving a few of your cakes away to local news or radio stations. You just might get a free plug on the air! As mentioned above, start small and specialize purely in cake decorating by purchasing your unfinished cakes elsewhere. Whether you operate your business in a professional kitchen or your own home, always maintain the highest degree of sanitation and cleanliness.

Expanding Your Cake Decorator Business - Develop and sell a line of do-it-yourself cake decorating kits. These kits could include various icing materials and tips, templates and even an instructional DVD. Sell your services to local hotels and restaurants. You can provide your cakes to them for special customers celebrating birthdays, engagements or other important life milestones.
