AFS053 - Cake Business Mistakes + Lessons with 5 Years Experience

In this episode of Angel Foods Show, I interview Vicky Caldwell from Cakeoasis and a Cake Business School enrolled student. We chat about her 5 years in business, her mistakes, lessons learned and plans for the future. This was like a great chat with an old friend, which is kinda was because we had talked cake business over 5 years ago! We also cover: pricing cakes wedding cake orders photography 101 competitors markets the importance of community + support Grab the free Marketing Plan which I created this month, on how to get more inquiries, more sales, and more website traffic. If you don’t have enough orders or customers, then this freebie is for you! Grab here (including 100 marketing tips) –  (This is valued at $97 and you get completely free). And heads up, this course is only free for this month (July 2017) and then the Marketing Training course is only available inside Cake Business School.  You know, the more I talk to cake decorators, I realise that there are so many different ways to run a business. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ but what suits you. I think that we all have the same struggles, being there is so much to learn, overwhelm, fear of failure, loneliness. But at the same time, how supportive and small the community really is. We are all the same. We are all different. Like cakes. There are lots of nuggets of advice for anyone in the industry, including cake ‘competition‘ and how to build up a network and community of like-minded people.   You can see more about Vicky here on Facebook.
