Not that I think of myself as some superstar awesome caker (because I know I'm not), but I just got a inquiry from Derby, CT (that's about 3.5 hours from me). We'll see if it comes through. And I have a cake to deliver to Springfield, MA which is 2.5 hours away. People will travel for what they want. I like being able to make $2000 in a weekend on 5 cakes. Now if I could only do it every weekend... LOL... but I am just really starting out on this journey. I am finally getting inquiries almost everyday so that's cool. I have the luxury of being able to take it slow though since I am a legal home baker. I feel very fortunate in that respect. If I had a shop right now I'd be making whatever cake anyone asked for... I'd have to.
Holy cats! I watched that video 3 times in a row!!! You are amazing! I think you are a superstar!
hey thanks everyone for your input! My husband thought I was crazy for not wanting to do these...I guess you can say he "won"
Yes...I do sheet cakes...I don't particularily like to do them but they pay as good as any other cake! I agree....Thanh Thanh does EXQUISITE cakes never mind sheet cakes!!! She is my Cake Crush!!!
Hey, Yummy, it's basically just a rectangular cake. For some reason, maybe because they are made in mass production at the grocery store, they get a bad rap! I often get a customer who wrinkles their nose and says, I don't want a SHEET cake or anything! (oh the HORROR of mediocrity! He he he!!)
We do sheet cakes; they are often really adorable, and can be downright impressive if well-decorated. But I can see that super high-end boutiques would not want to offer this. And why should they? When a customer requests something I don't do, I try to direct them to a place that does it, and does it well. You just can't be everything to everyone. You just have to decide if this is what's right for you; no right or wrong!!
