Our New Blog...Why are we doing this?

SUCCESS IS NOT GUARANTEED

THERE IS NEVER A GUARANTEE ANY BUSINESS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL & YOU SHOULD BE VERY WARY OF ANYONE CLAIMING OTHERWISE. OUR OWN BUSINESS VENTURES OVER THE YEARS HAVE SEEN BOTH SUCCESS AND FAILURE - PROFITS AND LOSSES.

HOWEVER BOTH MYSELF & TIM NATURALLY CAUTIOUS & PREFER TO GROW ORGANICALLY. BY TAKING THAT APPROACH I’M THANKFUL WE CAN SAY WE HAVE NEVER LOST MONEY ON ANY BUSINESS WE’VE RUN. IN FACT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED/GROWN & SOLD 2 BUSINESSES PRIOR TO LAUNCHING THE BUTTERFLY CAKE SHOP.

WE ENSURE ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INVESTMENTS ARE MADE VERY CAREFULLY - AND WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO DO THE SAME!! - SO AS TO ENSURE (IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO!!) YOU CAN ALWAYS AT THE VERY LEAST CLOSE UP SHOP WITHOUT OWING ANYONE ANYTHING!!

Is now the right time for you?

STARTING A CAKE BUSINESS IS NOT EASY, THERE’S A LOT OF COMPETITION (SOME VERY GOOD!), PROFIT MARGINS VARY A LOT DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPES OF CAKES YOUR’E MAKING & REPEAT BUSINESS IS BY NATURE SPORADIC AND INFREQUENT…THAT SAID, IN OUR VIEW, IT’S ALSO AN ART FORM, VALUED BY MANY YET TREASURED BY FEW.

Be your OWN Boss!!

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE CAKE DECORATING SKILLS YOU NEED, A REALISTIC PLAN, A GOOD SUPPORT NETWORK IN PLACE (WHICH YOU WILL NEED AT SOME POINT!) AND CAN MAINTAIN SENSIBILITY AROUND LEVELS OF INVESTMENT (BOTH FINANCIAL AND TIME)/A HIGH STANDARD OF WORK/PROFITABILITY/EFFECTIVELY MANAGED FINANCES & BUSINESS PLAN ETC. THERE’S EVERY REASON TO CONSIDER STARTING YOUR OWN CAKE BUSINESS - EITHER FULL TIME OR (AS WE USUALLY RECOMMEND INITIALLY AT LEAST) AS A SIDE HUSTLE.

WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A PACKAGE OF INFORMATION/ADVICE/SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CAKE DECORATING PROFESSIONALS AND CAKE BUSINESSES…BASED ON HAVING SPENT THE PAST 2 YEARS TRAWLING THROUGH ALL THE VARIETY OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR OUR OWN BUSINESS…BEING COMPLETELY SELF TAUGHT ON MOST ASPECTS…RELYING ON USER FRIENDLY QUALITY SUPPORT SERVICES & HAVING MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN BUSINESS…

There’s a lot to keep on top of!

  • KEEPING COSTS LOW

  • KEEPING FOCUS ON PROFITABLITY & MAKING ENOUGH MONEY

  • MANAGING CASH FLOW

  • WORKING AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE

  • MAXIMIZING THE RETURN OF ALL RESOURCES & INVESTMENTS

  • MAINTAINING MOTIVATION (ESPECIALLY FOR SOLE OPERATORS)

ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE PROVIDERS EITHER OFFER;

We only recommend service providers who offer something special or a special deal

  • SOMETHING SPECIAL / UNIQUE PERFECT FOR CAKE DECORATING BUSINESSES

  • A FREE SERVICE

  • A FREE TRIAL

  • A LOW COST SOLUTION

    AS WE KNOW ALL TOO WELL CAKE DECORATORS OPERATE ON INCREASINGLY THIN MARGINS AND OFTEN ARE OWNER/OPERATED MEANING BOTH TIME AND MONEY ARE INCREDIBLY PRECIOUS COMMODITIES!!

WE HOPE ALL THE INFORMATION, SUPPORT TOOLS AND recommended service providers ARE beneficial for you all!!
