Honestly, people still pay for cakes! I've read it on this site before, cake sales are still great even with the downturn on the general economy. I like the reason that someone stated: people save up for those big, special events.
If you don't do a ton of cakes, you can easily keep a part-time or even a full-time job (35 hours per week).
It could be the area that you are in...you could be experiencing a the downturn in economy more than other states. There are people who want a huge cake but don't want to pay for it.
What if you did a little marketing to businesses? Get a little commercial action.
