I want to start with party cakes but i have no idea how to begin.Any advice on starting a cake decorating business please please? What are the basic equipments i would require
first off, learn the different types of cakes to be used, than the different types of icings. Than you have to have a bit of imagination,plus how to operate a business.Watching the cakes and how easy they are to do on TV is totally different in real life.they do everything in one hour on TV, in real time may take a week to do the same thing.Any advice on starting a cake decorating business please please? What are the basic equipments i would require
A basic hygiene certificate to cover yourself. An oven, some good baking tins, ingredients, some good cake recipe books, and advert in the paper or local shop and away you go.
Firstly Create A business plan,





Who are your customers, What are you selling?


And so on and so forth.





Then get your Basic Food Hygeine cert.





And you could also speak to your bank manager... Some banks offer advice... or know where to send you.





Best advice though is to start very locally


As in friends family.


Word of mouth will help a lot
the best answer i can give you is to go to the library with paper and pen. go to the cook book section and spend a day taking notes. not only will you learn what equipment is needed you will also get an idea of some of the techniques used. check some of the better books out and go home and try out some of the stuff in the books. for the basic stuff you don't even need to bake a cake. turn a round cake pan upside down and decorate the bottom. basic tools are fairly cheap at wal-mart. get the cheapest you can find. 20-30 bucks worth of decorating tools plus cost of frosting ingredients and you can try out a wide variety of things.
you need skill and money
