I see you!
You are deserving of the “Star Baker” title in the kitchen, BUT you’re not going to be winning any awards in business any time soon.
So, you feel like you’re constantly “busy” but not really making any money…
I can help you change that. You can earn a profit that reflects the time and effort that you put into your work.
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.
You feel like your cake business stand is in a crowded market place and you aren’t sure how to make yourself heard.
I can show you how to make your cake business shine so bright that you won’t even notice the rest of the market.
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. However, 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.
Well, I am here to help you get your business to RISE!
I have the receipt to ensure an absolute guaranteed rise on your cake making business. 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 that was 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 tat you’re making.
I have developed an excellent reputation for both my cakes and my tuition and I have now helped over 100 budding cake makers to start their own cake business using my knowledge, and experience in the cake world.
“Rebecca IS the course!”
In the first week I cannot believe how far I have got.
I never thought I’d do it … but with Rebecca’s guidance and tuition it has been so easy and straight forward.
She is far more than just a tutor supplying material for a course. Rebecca IS the course.
Her knowledge, professionalism and support are amazing.
I can’t thank you enough xxx

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE AS INSPIRED AS I AM BY YOUR COACHING
I only joined the course because I thought I ‘ought’ to, to do things properly & to save me time finding things out for myself, but you have taught me so much more. I am now behind as “life got in the way” & I’m on holiday but I know I’ll get there! I am only expecting to the the odd order here & there but you have made me hope it could become more with your ideas & suggestions!
I FEEL REALLY SUPPORTED, EXCITED, MOTIVATED
I can’t fault you Rebecca, I feel really supported, excited, motivated & cannot believe what I’ve learnt & put into place in the last few weeks. You’re such a warm lovely person who I feel ‘cares’ about us & yet you still push us forward without pressure if that makes sense & I love how driven you are & are so thorough. I knew within a few days it was more than worth it & have told everyone about you & the course … even my regular delivery Tesco chap who always asks how I am!
YOUR POSITIVITY, CONFIDENCE, & NO NONSENSE APPROACH
It’s really great, I’ve learned so much Rebecca and I’d like to thank you for your positivity, confidence and no nonsense approach. Just the way I am in my regular business that has died a death during the pandemic.

And how about the potential income that you could earn after taking part in this course?
Well, the possibilities are endless!
Lets break it down…… you pay £197 for this course.
If you make celebration cakes with a profit of £25 per cake – you will have got the cost of this programme back by the time you have made 8 cakes. Not much is it?
Likewise, if your cake business is a sideline to your “proper job”, and you currently make 4 cakes a week with a profit of £25 per cake, if you increase your profitability by just £10 per cake as a result of this programme, that is an additional that is £2,080 a year profit for you.
Lets say you decide to make your cake business your full time job and you decided to make wedding cakes – if you made 2 wedding cakes a week for the 6 months of the year that is considered to be traditional wedding season, and made £250 profit per wedding cake, you would make a profit of £13,000 and that is not even taking account of any other cakes you may take orders for in the other 6 months of the year!
The Possibility & Potential Is Mindblowing!
Nothing is too much trouble for Rebecca.
She is always at hand to help/guide and advise you.
She really is a massive part of your journey, without her support I don’t think I would have had the courage to go for it. She knows SO much!!
Thank you Rebecca for making this loads easier than I thought

HER EXCITEMENT IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS
I cannot recommend Rebecca enough!
Not only did she teach me the skills and information I needed to turn my hobby into a business, she gave me the ability to see my goals (which I’d been thinking about for years!) were 100% achievable!
Her passion for helping others is obvious from the start and her excitement is highly contagious!!
YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS JUST FANTASTIC
Your course has taught me so much and so many things I wouldn’t even have thought of. Your attention to detail is just fantastic and the content of your course is just brilliant. Everything you need to start a business and so much more. I feel most people wouldn’t give such valuable information out to others trying to do the same thing. You are so passionate about the course it shines through.
You have made me feel much more confident in myself that I can do this, excited to get started and totally motivated to be me and what I want to be.
I TOOK APPROXIMATELY £1000 WORTH OF ORDERS
I just thought I would let you know, you may recall I set myself the challenge to cover the cost of boss your business (£147).
Well it was a very long day and I will be doing the maths properly today but think I took approximately £1000 worth of orders so smashed it.
Great way to start this next course.
