The Business of Cake Making Podcast

Sammie and Bronya have been to Cake International. This episode is short and sweet whilst they grab a coffee in Birmingham.

Sammie chats all about entering this year and how her prep went. And they chat about a few of the products they've bought.

A fell episode with interviews and observations will be available next week.

This week Bronya and Sammie are chatting through their cake decorating processes.

They have been baking and making cakes for a long time and have developed their techniques through wisdom, experience and making lots of mistakes.

Listen and learn as they share their secrets to decorating in the easiest and stress free way.

This week we are celebrating our 100th episode, with not 1 but 3 guests!!

We invited you, our listener, to write in or even come onto the podcast. We have had an amazing 100 episodes and wanted to celebrate with you and your businesses. Thank you for sticking with us and listening for 100 long episodes. We look forward t the next 100!!

This week Bronya and Sammie talk about why you shouldn't be scared to put your prices out there. 

They talk about how it will save you time, how it will position you in the market and how it will help to make you value yourself.

This week Sammie and Bronya chat about how you can use you cake making skills to make money in other ways.

You have skills that people want, and that doesn't always include making wedding or birthday cakes. What else can you do in your business?

For 2 totally un-technically minded people, Bronya and Sammie did a good attempt about using AI in your cake business. It's a rollercoaster but keep with it.

AI isn't going anywhere soon, and there are actually lots of tools that can help you in business. Sammie tried loads, Bronya tried a few, and here are their opinions of what was good and what was bad.

We're back this week with another great guest. 

We first met Christina at the Cake and Bake Show last year, and then Sammie went to one of her classes and we said we just had to get her on for a chat.

She talks about how she got into cake making, and more importantly model making. She is passionate about her art and believes that everyone can and should be able to make models.

Hear about all the new things she's got coming up.

This week we're chatting about making cakes. Specifically, what happens once the cake has come out of the oven and we're ready to fill and decorate.

We chat about everything from ganache, buttercream, using a dam, centre dowels and we have a long chat about flowers.

This is a super quick episode this week because Sammie it off having fun somewhere Greek and gorgeous.

Bronya is talking you through a few affirmations that can help in your cake business. Running a business is hard and we should all look after ourselves. Affirmations are a way we can be kind to ourselves and positively move our businesses forward.

Back to normal next week, see you then.

We return after out 2 week break with an IN PERSON interview with Rob from Mr Baker's Cake School.

Rob invited us to his stunning school in Fareham in Hampshire and we sat and talked about how he got into the business and how his cake career has developed to owning and running his own school.

He's had an interesting journey, different from most cake makers, which with a lot of hard work has got him to where he is today.

In the last couple of weeks Bronya has done a 180 on her decision to stop making client cakes. In this episode we discuss why she's made this decision and what she is having to do to become a Cake Business again.

This is the last episode on this 6 week series. See you in a couple of weeks.

Sorry, due to a family bereavement there is no episode today - 22.5.23.

Be back next week
