Start a Cake Business and Make it Work

This book is aimed at anyone thinking of starting a new cake-making business, from the budding entrepreneur to the hobby baker who is ready to take the leap and make it official! We cover every aspect of starting a new food business from picking a good name, to taking your first order, dealing with multiple orders, and promoting yourself.

Food safety is of utmost importance, so we have given you what you need to know and what you need to do to ensure you comply with UK food safety regulations.

Topics covered include insurance, environmental health, accounting, legal requirements, premises and costs, bookkeeping, marketing, copyright, taking orders, pricing cakes, useful forms and much more.

Drawing on 30 years of experience making amazing cakes, Louise Wilson and The Cake Makery share their expert knowledge of running a bespoke cake decorating business from home.
