I recently made the single biggest change to my business in the history of Rach Makes Cakes. In today's episode I'll tell you what I did and how it's going!

In this episode, I'll discuss a few scenarios where working for free might sound like a good idea, but honestly it really never is.

I’ve seen a lot of people online asking for other bakers to like their page during this down time amid the COVID-19 outbreak. I’ll tell you why I think that’s a bad idea, and give you another homework assignment instead.

This episode is from a conversation I had in May 2018 with Michelle Green, who is a cake business guru and author of The Business of Baking. We talk about how she went from making cakes for friends and family to owning and selling her cake business, how she became an author and business coach, and where she is now.

We’re back with a fresh episode of Cake Shop! If you’ve been wondering what the hell happened, this episode is going to explain it all. Travis joins me again to chronicle what we’ve been doing since the last episode dropped in July of 2017. To make a long story short, WE CLOSED THE SHOP and Rach Makes Cakes is now a proud resident of Atlanta’s Historic West End. I’ve laughed, cried, and learned just how much I’m capable of accomplishing. It wasn’t always easy, but I’m super proud of what I’ve done and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Lauren and Cody own a pie shop in my hometown of Woodstock, GA! A lady who loves baking and a handy dude who can build anything…sounds familiar! Lauren tells me how they got Pie Bar up and running in no time, and also gives me some tips on how to hire good help.
