5.0 out of 5 stars valuable resource, September 23, 2008

This book is indeed written by an angel. I was always frustrated when I would search on Google for a book that talks about starting a cake decorating business and come up with little or no result. I had no choice but to print out E-zine articles. I almost paid a start up business consultant five hundred dollars. The author of this book covered everthing from marketing to State Department of Agriculture list, and provided website addresses. I read this book religiously. My husband also likes the book. For those who are planning on starting a cake designing business, look no further. This is it!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money..., September 30, 2009

This review is from: Start A Cake Business Today (Paperback)

It's not so much that this is a BAD resource, it's just nothing new I didn't already have from searching online. I had hoped it would be a valuable resource for business plan samples, contracts, etc., but it only talks about the importance of having them. This book is also flooded with typos, which just became annoying to me. Save your money and do research online through cake forum sites instead, then, go buy a standard start-up business book guide. I'm going to try the "How to Start a Home-Based Personal Chef Business" based on reviews...

This book was exactly what I was loooking for. My husband (has a business degree) said this is the best book I have ever spent money on. It really does cover everything you would need to know about starting your own cake business. There are also a ton of great references and web adresses to find out more. If you are even thinking of selling cakes this book is a must!
