You bake and decorate cakes for birthdays, baby showers, weddings and other celebrations, to order.
What sells
- Birthday cakes in buttercream, in standard sizes.
- Bento cakes (small lunchbox cakes) and cupcakes, which are quicker to make.
- Two-tier cakes for bigger parties, at a higher price.
- How it works
the customer chooses a design and date, pays a deposit, and collects or gets a delivery on the day.
- The rule that matters
under the R638 regulations, food may only be handled for sale on premises with a valid Certificate of Acceptability.
A good sign: a paid deposit from someone outside your family within the first month.
