Outsourcing Questions For Bakery Owners
Business By tracy702 Updated 25 Apr 2009 , 10:38pm by BakingGirl
I am up to my ears in cake orders and my order of foam just arrived. Do any of you outsource your dummy work?
I am thinking of hiring someone (contracted labor) to come in or take home and ice all of our dummy cakes with DecoFrost in white. I have 50 dummies that need to be iced in white DecoFrost so that they can be stacked and decorated later. I just don't have any time in my schedule to include this - yet I need it done asap!
Looking for some opinions from bakery owners - on what you do - or would do.
And if I do get someone else - how do you pay them? By the hour - by the amount of work???
Like I said - I have a total of 50 dummies. They range in size from 4in to 16in. Rounds, squares and a few hex's.
Thanks for any and all imput.

P.S. If you are in the DFW area - and are interested in doing this - PM me.
It crossed my mind that you may want to have a word with a super market decorator to see if they will want to earn a few extra bucks icing your dummies. With the volume they do in a supermarket 50 plainly iced dummies could be a quick job for that kind of decorator.
