Book Description

August 1, 2010
"Start a Cupcake Business Today" equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to start and successfully grow a cupcake bakery anywhere.

Business Plan Template and Sample Business Plan Included
In addition to reviewing current trends and business basics, we cover every aspect of writing a business plan including: Researching your demographic; Marketing and promotion;Legal structure and licensing; Financial forecasting (sales, cash flow, budgets, etc.).

We simplify and explain the processes of funding your business; Pricing for profit; start-up costs; Smart accounting for bakers. Because running a business isn't familiar to everyone, the writing is easy-to-follow and uses practical language with real-world case-studies in a bakery context. We know it helps to see real examples, so you will have access to both a business plan template and an actual business plan from a successful gourmet cupcake shop to guide you. An editable template is included in the download section of our website. The URL included in book or contact us at cupcake-business.com/contact-us/

Written with consultation from over 50 health, agricultural and municipal business departments you will be guided through the process of getting legal. We cut through the red-tape to alleviate the anxiety most people experience when dealing with health inspectors, tax collectors and licensing agencies.

You will receive the latest guidance about the insurance you should have, your tax responsibilities, the most common equipment and construction requirements, how to work and negotiate with your future landlord, what needs to be in a lease, your responsibilities for food safety, and much more. You will learn the best locations for YOUR business; Space design and lighting to maximize efficiency and sales; How to be a strong presence in your community through traditional and web-based marketing. Understand how to get the TOP results from search engines and the best results from Facebook and Twitter. Bonus items including forms, checklists, contracts and more are also provided.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent example of how customer service should work, September 23, 2010
By 
dadvocate (Milford, NH United States) - See all my reviews
I was rather impressed by the events of recent days. What began as a disappointing purchase, turned into something with which I am very satisfied.

A few days ago I wrote a review of the Kindle version of this book and rated it 1 star. Not due to the advice contained in the book, but to the fact that the Kindle-version of the book was not properly formatted. Tables and bulleted lists were jumbled and impossible to understand.

Within 24 hours the author contacted me and corrected the book's Kindle formatting. I am quite happy now that I can read the book as it was intended to be read. Not only was Paula helpful and professional in her communication with me, but her book provides a great overview of the ins and outs of starting a bakery for someone like me who has worked in but never managed a bakery. I read it cover to cover in a few hours.

This is my revised review for the latest Kindle version of the book. At just a fraction of the cost of the print version, frankly it's a steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative for me!, August 26, 2011
This review is from: Start a Cupcake Business Today (Paperback)
There are two kinds of books that one must probably read before starting a cupcake business. First - how to decorate cupcakes, and the Second - how to run a business. This book is the business side. If you've got a degree in business or accounting, chances are you might need to be working on your baking/decorating skills, not reading this book. But what I LOVE about the book is that it details out the business plan and how it relates specifically to a cupcake business. I originally found this book here at Amazon, checked it out at my library, and have decided it's a must-buy for me to keep. I hope to open a place in the next few years, and I know I'll be reading and re-reading this one. I got the baking skills, but what I needed was what's detailed in this book.
