I haven't really advertised or done any big cakes (i.e. wedding cakes) but I really want to get up and going. I am the type of persone that I need a deadline in order to get off my butt and get it done. So I was wondering if I should go passout fliers or post them around and maybe I could get just a couple orders! I would be happy with two big cakes a month! I have no need to be greedy!! lol! So what do you all think?

I'd say check your local ordinances and then GO FOR IT!

Are you legal? You shouldn't be handing out flyers and advertising if you aren't legal...

oh really?!?! Good hting for all my CC'ers! No I am not liscensed just wilton certified..lol. Well the lady who did my wedding cake isn;t liscensed she just does it out of her home (no home bakeries in Michigan) and she advertises in the phone book!

Even if you are legal some cities don't allow you to put up fliers. But, check with some local businesses to see if you can leave some with them.

One thing that has helped me is to take samples and leave them with my number at local offices/business.

Good luck!

Where would you "post" flyers? I probably wouldnt' order my wedding cake from a flyer nailed to a telephone pole.

Try checking florists and photographers; wedding chapels and reception sites; wedding planners.

If you are not licensed and are advertising you are asking for trouble!!
