Discover Interesting Tips on How You Can Start Your Own Home-Made Business with Cakes

To start a homemade cake business is indeed a dream of many, but not everyone manages to bake the cakes that are loved by one and all. It is important to know what it takes to make a good start. As a starter you would not only need the best of the baking supplies, it is also important to know how to bake various cakes and on how to decorate the same. Let us learn about it in detail.

Not all of you get into a professional baker’s job, the moment you complete a cake baking course from a reputed baking studio. Professional cake decorators decorate cakes at five-star hotels and holidaying homes. As a starter with no experience in the baking field, it is hard for you to land up in such plush jobs. For you to start your own bakery unit, you need to rent or lease out a commercial property, pay for lighting and electricity, employ people to help you package cake and put up with other forms of incidental expenses.

Here are interesting tips on how you can start your own cake business at home with minimal investment, of course.

Create the goodwill

You can bake 4 to 5 varieties of assorted cakes you might have learnt at one of the best cake baking classes in town. You can have a small get-together or conduct a cake symposium at your very own apartment. You can invite your friends and neighbors for a high-tea party. You can exhibit the freshly baked cakes and allow the gathering to taste these cakes. Do not jump to the marketing bit right there. You create goodwill and show people how well you can bake these cakes.

Issue pamphlets and brochures

Now that people staying in your apartment have a fair idea on how well you bake cakes, here comes the second step. You will now be issuing pamphlets and brochures clearly mentioning the type of cakes you plan to bake. You can include the cost price of the cakes, in ½ kg slabs and in 1 kg slabs. Mention a reasonable price and do not over-evaluate the prices. You need to create a feel that you are more interested in supplying quality cakes, over the price.

Create orders

You will now need to streamline things in a neat and organized way. The baking studio might have taught you the basics of cake-baking. Buy an order book and make a note of all the orders you have got from your neighborhood. Create a customized feedback book to let customers know how they feel about your product. A weighing scale is a must-have. You will have to weigh the contents of the cake before you hand them over to the customer.

Bake quality cakes and pool in more customers

Once you are done with the first three steps, you will have orders pooling in. You can ask your regular customers to refer their friends and siblings as well. You can conduct birthday parties and kitty parties as well. Now bake quality cakes and have the money trickling in.

Cake baking classes and home-made cake business, therefore, go hand in hand, with the least amount of investment. All it needs is the right kind of training that will help bake the best of the cakes in no time
