The harsh reality is that 9 out of 10 businesses don’t survive their first year. That may sound a bit depressing but it’s worth knowing what you are getting into. When I started my cake business it was my secondary income after a full time job. Later, as my business grew, it became my only source of income, but this was a slow process, about a year and a half. I honestly don’t think I could have lived on just cake income at the start. One of the main reasons for this was I didn’t charge enough for my cakes and I didn’t have a business plan in place.
It may be sugar and flour but you need to treat it with the same respect as you do any other business. It’s a fun hobby but when it comes to turning it into a career, there’s so much more you need to think about than just sprinkles!
