Now you can cash in on a multi-million dollar industry instantly by starting your own home based cake decorating business.If you love baking and enjoy being creative with your masterpieces, owning a cake decorating business will be an enjoyable experience. There is no feeling like the one you get when you have finished designing the perfect cake for a client, especially when it's for a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or wedding.If you plan on starting a home based cake-decorating service you will need the support of your family. Just like with any business you need time to focus on your work and since you want to avoid as many mistakes as you can, having the ongoing support of those in your household will help you jump-start your career a lot easier. For me, when I began decorating cakes from home, my husband wasexceptionally supportive.With four children in the house it wasn't always easy to manage my business with family matters, but with his help I was able to turn a part time service into a full time career. Five years later I still run a well-managed cake decorating and baking service and since it grew so quickly, I now operate out of a large bakery in the heart of the city.It has been a marvelous journey and I hope to be of assistance to you during yours.Heather Sue Mcintosh

The Wedding Cake Decorator's Bible: A Resource of Mix-and-Match Designs and Embellishments Review

The Wedding Cake Decorator's Bible: A Resource of Mix-and-Match Designs and Embellishments

I gave it 4 stars because it generally met my needs. Objectively speaking:
Pros:
* This book has clear and detailed instructions for executing cake decorations which are suitable not only for wedding cakes but also for other special occasion cakes.
* Pictures and illustrations accompany each step of the procedures and templates are provided when needed.
* A (long) list of tools and equipment is supplied
* Designs are basic and classic - not trendy
Cons
* Many designs and techniques require specialized tools and equipment such as molds, cutters, gumpaste/clay extruders
* Few pictures of finished cakes. The book really just gives instructions on decorating techniques. How to put them together on a cake is left to the reader's/cake designer's artistry
* Does not include directions for creating sugarpaste figures like people, animals, shoes, and bags, which are currently very on trend in the cake industry. No discussion on trends like carved cakes or whimsical cakes.
* Only 5 mediocre recipes. Relies on commercial premade fondant and gumpaste.
* No color mixing chart - one of the most frequent charts cake designers refer to
Recommended for
* Cake professionals looking for a handy reference for classic cake decorating techniques
* Cake pros or committed novices wanting to learn classic cake decorating techniques through self study/practice
* Hobbyists and committed home decorators who regularly make cakes for friends and family
Not recommended for
* Occasional home bakers unless they're loaded with cash and are prepared to spend - list of equipment is extensive!
* Cake designers looking for trendy, modern techniques
* Complete novices. Instead would recommend books like The Home Guide to Cake Decorating by Jane Price or books by Debbi Brown
