5 Common Cake Business Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Running a cake business can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. In this episode of Slice of Success, I’m breaking down the five most common mistakes cake business owners make and sharing actionable tips to help you avoid them.
From undercharging for your work to trying to do it all alone, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-life stories (including the time I massively undercharged for my first wedding cake!).
If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed in your cake business, this episode will help you sidestep these pitfalls and set yourself up for long-term success.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why undercharging hurts your confidence and leads to burnout.
• How to stop waiting for perfection and start taking action now.
• The importance of identifying your ideal client and tailoring your marketing to attract them.
