Eventually I want to really grow my cake business, but I want to focus on speciality cakes, I don't want to do any wedding cakes. I won't say never ever, but I know me, I don't feel like dealing with any Bridezillas or MOB zilla's. Wedding cakes just seem so stressful. Does anyone own a cake business but don't do wedding cakes at all? Just curious.

OT: Sorta. I just saw the warning message on the left that this site can be highly addictive. Now ya tell me.

I am a small cake business and I don't do wedding cakes..I strictly do specialty cakes.The reason I choose not to do weddings is...#1..I don't deliver..I am pickup only as I am home based....and #2...I don't want the stress and responsibility of someones special day being ruined etc if something should happen.

I do quite well without offering wedding cakes....

I know of a caterer that doesn't cater weddings. He doesn't do cakes, just the meal, but there you have it. I'm sure there are other professionals that don't do weddings either. Photographers, Dj's, perhaps some beauticians. I used to work at a salon and we had one stylist there that wouldn't do up-dos, so she could kinda be a non-wedding stylist.

I won't say no to a wedding cake but 90% of my business is speciality cakes and I do a good business. I am a cake design business, not a bakery and open by appointment only.

The majority of my business is specialty cakes as well. I have done 2 weddings so far and the are much more stressful for me as well. I do have 4 wedding for next year, and I'll see how that goes before I decide to do more.

I think alot has to do with how you promote yourself. For me, I don't do birthday cakes because of my religious beliefs. So when people asked me about cakes I told them I specialized in graduation, anniversary and shower cakes. HTH
