You feel like you’re a hobby baker trying to run a business, you “feel bad” charging for your work, and you just say yes to anything the customer asks for without giving it much thought, for fear of losing the order.  It is time to hang up your “Queen of the Kitchen” apron, and pop your business owner hat on….I can help you to do this.  

You are constantly “busy” but not really making any money…maybe this is how Mother’s Day felt for you? You’re working all the hours under the sun and thinking that there must be easier ways to make money, maybe you should get a job? I can help you change that. You can earn a profit that reflects the time and effort that you put into your work. In fact, you can earn more, and work less….wouldn’t that be an absolute dream 

You feel like you are riding a rollercoaster in the theme park of cakes businesses – one week you have more work than you can handle, and the next week you have none. It does not need to be this way, I can show you how to achieve a consistent workload and income for your cake business…it’s time to stop the ride! 

You accept any order that comes your way as you are worried that you don’t know where the next order is coming from. I can help you decide what types of order work for you and your business, light you up, and make you money at the same time. 

Social Media is sucking your soul, you feel like you are talking to yourself, and wonder why you even bother posting most of the time. I can show you how to create an engaged audience of customers who will not only want to read what you have to say, but will be falling overthemselves to order from you. 

You are stuck in comparison with other cake businesses, you feel like you “should” be like them in order to be successful, and this leaves you feeling overwhelmed and lacking in confidence about your business. I can show you how to run your business on your terms, full of confidence, and producing the work that you love without caring what anybody else is doing

You’re sick of the “same shit different day” feeling. You would love to leave the day job behind , but the thought of giving up a guaranteed monthly wage makes your bum pinch as you don’t know how you’ll ever earn enough out of cake.  I can help you to supercharge your business so that you’ll to be skipping out the door, P45 in hand. It is absolutely possible and within reach.   

LET’S DIVE DEEPER… 

I can tell you that, cake makers:

→ don’t understand how to run a business

→ feel like busy fools 

→ are winging it on social media 

→ feel like they’re drowning in a crowded market place 

→ have no idea how anyone ever actually earns a living from cake 

→ are terrified of their accounts 

→ never get time to do their admin 

→ are scared to charge their worth for fear they don’t get any orders 

→ feel like they can’t say no to an order in case its the last one that comes along for a while 

→ wonder if its really all worth it 

After all, we started our businesses because we love making cake, not because we wanted to earn the title of Business Woman Of The Year!

Yes, I hear you! I also have a cake business, which I’ll tell you more about later. 

So actually treating our passion as a business, and getting into that mindset can feel really scary. It is absolutely possible for you to run a successful business without needing to take on a stack more orders, sacrifice precious family time, or lose the passion for your work. But to do that….we must think like a business owner.

Well, I am here to help your business to RISE!

Boss Your Cake Business gives you the tools, resources, and support to help you turn your cake business into whatever you want it to be, whether that is a profitable side line, or a successful full time business. 

You already have exactly what it takes, after all, you’re already running a business, whether you really like to think of it as that or not. All you need is a bit of extra help and support to point you in the right direction to help you and your business to reach your cakey potential. 

But Why Listen To Me? 

Because basically…..I’ve been where you are now. 

I started my cake business, The Lavender Whisk in September 2014. I was working as a lawyer, suffering terrible anxiety, feeling the Sunday night dread every single week, and baking was my therapy.

I knew that law wasn’t for me long term, but all I kept saying to my family and friends was “I just want to play with cake, I know nothing about running a business”. BUT, it turns out I knew more than I thought, and what I didn’t know, I went out there and figured it out. At the time, there wasn’t people like me around to hold my hand, so a lot of it was trial and error but I got there and I left my legal career in May 2015. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that between September 2014 and May 2015 I learnt everything there was to know about running a cake business, that continued long after, as there is always lots to learn (even now). BUT, I decided to invest in myself and my business, and absorb every bit of information I could find to help me like a sponge! And then, I made sure I implemented that information and tracked the results…thats the biggie!! It’s no use having a whole heap of knowledge at your fingertips if you aren’t going to implement any of it.

In 2017 I decided to concentrate solely on wedding cakes and by the end of that year 60 wedding cakes. That’s right, within 2.5 years of being in business, I was making 60 wedding cakes a year.  At an average of £350 a wedding cake, thats a turnover of £21,000 a year and that’s before we take account of any celebration cake or seasonal orders. 

I started to teach cake decorating classes in 2019 to groups of up to 12 students. I very quickly realised that there was a need for people to have someone to go to in order to learn not only how to star their cake business,  but also how to make it be a success. After all, success isn’t defined by how busy you are. It is defined by how happy you are in your work, the impact that your work has on your customers, and the profit that you’re making. 

I have developed an excellent reputation for both my cakes and my tuition and I have now helped over almost 200 budding cake makers to start their own cake business using my knowledge, and experience in the cake world.
