@thepinkcrumbb: I started my business with one plan and one plan only…sell custom cakes. Three years later and it’s the one thing I DON’T sell. 😂 I’ve learned that your business will take you in all kinds of directions…just be open to changing your original plans and look for the signs. For me, I switched to cake slices instead of custom cakes for several reasons: 1. I needed to start earning income right away and making a name for myself in the custom cake world was going to take time. 2. The price point in my area for custom cakes wasn’t super high and I wasn’t in demand since I didn’t have a customer base…so charging appropriately was difficult. 3. Custom cakes are stressful! And there’s a lot of extra time involved as well when it comes to customer vision, coordinating delivery, etc. For me, cake slices just seemed to be the answer. A lot of people enjoy a slice of cake but don’t necessarily need a whole cake. Slices can be taken to a farmer’s market, sold in your bakery cart, offered for porch pickup. You can offer several flavors at once. There’s just so many good things about offering slices. And even if you still have your heart set on selling custom cakes (which is perfectly okay), you could sell slices in addition to custom orders to help get the word out about how wonderful your cake is! I hope you are having a wonderful week and are ready for the weekend. 💗💗💗
