It's time for CAKE!

My name is Kay Edenfield. I bake and decorate cakes. I recently “officially” opened my cake shop. I do not have a storefront location, but I am a fully licensed bakery in the state of Texas. I call my shop KK’s Best Cakes because my nieces and nephews always tell me “Aunt KK, you make the best cakes!”
Experienced Helps
I took a few culinary classes in college, but did not get my degree. I have taken several decorating classes over the years, and recently completed the three courses for the PME Masters Certificate. I call these courses “cake boot camp”. I learned a lot, and it was a lot of hard work to complete. I still have to take my “final”, though, and will be doing that soon. I started decorating cakes in Jr. college, and made cakes for friends and family. I quit back then because it got to be that baking and decorating was all that I was doing. My week nights and weekends were taking up with cake making and it burned me out. I still made the occasional cake, but mostly just for fun.
A couple of years ago, I decided to take a refresher course and a fondant course, because there was so much new stuff going on in the cake world. I got hooked all over again, but this time I wanted to do it as a legitimate business, so KKs Best Cakes was born. I had my brother build me a kitchen next to my house and a few more dollars invested in equipment and I was in business. Only one thing was missing.
Cake Orders
Baking cakes, decorating cakes, and the business side of cake is all hard work. I think people who don’t do cake, don’t realize how much work and effort you have to put into the whole process. I get people who think my cakes cost too much, but I think I don’t charge nearly enough. I keep my prices on the low side anyway, so I know they are already getting a deal. I am still making cakes for friends and family, but I need to make cakes for the Public if I want to stay in business. So…this blog is my take on the journey to getting my business to be successful. I hope you follow along with me.
Where to Find KKs Best Cakes online
My niece Aimee is setting me up with this blog. My nephew James has made me a web page www.kksbestcakes.com, and I am on Weddingwire, Wedspace.com, Bride.com-all sites for brides looking for Wedding cakes, and on other social networks like Facebook and Cakeswebake.

Last year
I have made a lot of cake this past year, but no profit. I have spent a lot of time and money, but I consider that to be practice and an investment. I can see how much my cakes have improved in taste and technique. So far, my reward is gaining more experience with the cakes I make and while, the more experience I gain is valuable in itself, I need to pay some bills. My business needs to be more lucrative, and I hope you will follow along with me as I discover the ways I hope to make a profit this year doing something fun for me and deliciously tasty for you.
