Start a Cake Decorating Business

For those who love to bake, this is a great part-time business - just be designing birthday cakes! To run this kind of business, you must have experience in baking and cake decorating - it is an art all in itself. You can also get training to be a cake decorator at many culinary schools or through large craft supply stores. And when you are just starting out and do not have a large selection of shaped cake trays, many party supply stores rent them out.

There is so much opportunity for variety in cakes, not just the flavoring but the decorating as well, but in many areas, there are the standard eight design choices from the grocery store or local bakery. And often the cakes aren't that good!

This business can easily be run with word-of-mouth advertising. If your cakes are spectacular, your cakes will advertise themselves. Community boards are another popular place to advertise, particularly if you specialize in children's birthday cakes.

This business is a great start-up because making a cake from scratch, including icing decorations, can be done for under a dollar, and you can charge many, many times that amount for your finished product.

You will likely find the weekends are your busiest times for birthdays and anniversaries, but you could find yourself just as busy during the week with retirement parties or office parties.

You should check to see what regulations regarding food businesses exist in your area. You may have to use a commercial kitchen, or get special permission to use your home kitchen for commercial use.

Don't forget an alternative to this business, a cupcake business.
