I've been sick the past couple days and I totally binge watched 8 of the videos in your cake biz series! Wish I would have known all these amazing tips and advice a year ago when I got my cottage food license. Tell you what, I've already made most the mistakes in the book. Ahhhhaha! Made cakes before customers paid ( that only happened once...changed my policy right quickly after that.) stay up hours into the night, refunded deposits even though I'd already started a cake. My husband says I need to charge more Lol!!! You name it! Thanks to your biz series...NO MORE! God has blessed me with an amazing talent. I'm going to grow a low stress business from here on out. God bless you both. Your caring, your humor and especially your smiles. I look forward to many more of your tutorials.

Very helpful video today! I was one of the ones that would be up all night completing orders. I work a full time career as well as make cakes. I started planning out my week to avoid being up all night decorating cakes. To prepare for weekend orders I do something every day. For example; on Monday I'll make decorations, Tuesday I bake cakes, Wednesday I make frosting and crumb coat, Thursday I cover cakes in fondant and decorate, Friday I do finishing touches and Saturday morning by 10am is pickup time. I do all of these things when I get home from work.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you guys! I thought I was the only full time Cake artist in the world who wasn't able to make a lot of cakes in one week. I've seen some other bakers making 5, 6... even 10 beautiful cakes per week and it really made me feel so bad because I just can't take so many orders!!! But now I know there's nothing wrong with me ;) Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us. I've been following your channel since 2014 and your Cake artist guide was the very frist cake related "tutorial" I bought back then when I started my business. I love all your videos (both tutorials and cake biz series). You guys are the best!!! Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia.

Dear Laura and Arnie thank you for this brilliant series! I am a cake artist from the UK and I've been watching your tutorials for many years (and learning a great deal). I bought your Cake Artists Guide and discovered, as so many others have, that I am not charging enough for my cakes. I have now worked out my pricing structure and will be using it from now on. Your videos are full of wonderful advice and I am pointing any other cake artists I know in your direction. Many thanks again for taking the time to make these videos :)

Thank you for these fun and informative videos. Do you have any advice on how to convince my family to respect my work hours? I am constantly distracted by requests to run errands or even just to chat because if I am at home they think that means I am available.

[auntiescakery]

BTW, I'm sure you have plenty of tutorials on your "to do" list, but I'd love to see how you pack cakes to get them ready for delivery. TIA-luvs!

Thank You So Much For Your Awesome Videos! I've Been Doing This For 2 Years Now & I'm Loving It! Hearing How You Guys Left Your "Day Jobs" To Do This Is Very Inspiring!! So Happy To Know I Follow Pretty Much The Same Schedule As You Guys LOL Yes, With Only 2 Years Into It I've Learned The Hard Way To START EARLY 😃😉 God Bless! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

Hi y'all!
This was a good video. I have learned in the past time management is so important. My husband always told me I was pushing myself to much. He was very right I have since changed when and how I do everything. Still learning how to be more organized and still keep my sanity for my family. With 2 boys under 2 keeping to my schedule has been wonderful.
Thank y'all again for these videos learning so much from y'all can't wait for the next one !

HI Louda and Arnie! I just wand to post my startling results of your guide, and its scary! lol :) Ive been doing cakes for about 6 years and as I became more experienced, and really started realizing how much time, money and effort I was making, I was not making anything from my cakes. My results were 62 cents an hour LOL My family and friends have all been telling me im not charging enough, and boy they were right! My last 4 tier wedding cake, with an hour and 40 min delivery time with cornelli lace on one side, and real tree camo on the other, I charged 250.00, I am a changed woman and will start giving myself more than 62 cents an hour lol Thank you Thank you! :)

Awesome, awesome advice! I felt myself becoming very stressed recently with my cake business and I think it was due to the fact that I offered too many services and driving myself into a hole. I feel like I'm over it! However, I'm going to take your advice and scale it back with my services. Thank you!

[shiprasrivastava]

Your videos are so practical and honest !! Thank you so much

[trishp]

Thank you Laura and Arnie for another informative video. I have a cake due this Saturday and I will definitely follow your guide. God Bless! xoxo

[sherricooley]

Thank you so much for your wonderful response to my questions of how to run a stress free cake business. I was thrilled that you mentioned me in your last video! As stated before, you both are a God send and answer to prayer. I did not want to start my cake business feeling stressed and hurt my business before it even got off the ground. I kept feeling the need to cross my T's and dot my I's. But I could not find the answers I had been looking for until I too by mistake found your videos! Again, Thank you so much and God Bless!

Hola Laura and Arney!!! Poniéndome al día con los tutoriales, ya que por accidente los encontré... Me encantan sus tutoriales ya que el clima de Uds. es parecido al de mi país, Paraguay!!! Gracias a Uds. me estoy animando a realizar trabajos de pastelería norteamericana, trabajar con tortas de varios pisos que en mi país no se utiliza tanto...Gracias por explicar todo el paso a paso, la consistencia de los frostings, me está siendo muy útil.

[samanthahigh]

Hi guys I love your videos they have been very helpful, since figuring out the cake business is something I want to take serious. I would love for you guys to make a video on basics such as tips & tricks when first starting out, cake tastings, taking your first order etc.

[joyekpin]

Wow!!! I have the same cake schedule!!! God truly gives wisdom when we ask! Nothing new under the sun.

[haycreekhomestead]

Perfect video with perfect timing. I'm currently in school full time and very stressed out, super busy (that's why I'm behind watching this video). I have problems with adding fondant to a cold cake. I make my own marshmallow fondant and that itself is stressful because I don't think it makes proper fondant. It seems to sag and perspire and makes bubbles on a cold cake. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on good fondant recipes? I don't like the taste of store bought fondant.

[elizabethabarca]

It’s wonderful that your husband does a lot of the baking airbrushing and things like that to help you. I also have a retired husband that is interested in those things as well and I would love the help, but I am not a good teacher and don’t really have the time the patience nor the energy to teach him. I have a full time job and am practically doing everything myself when we get cake orders. How did your husband learn?? Help me help my husband. Plse. Lol :)

[Marieluz]

You two...are too cute! Lol
Thank you for all this free information! 🙏🏻

I love seeing your husband/wife relationship displayed in these videos.  God has blessed you both with being able to work together peaceably and maintain a healthy love toward each other.  You mentioned Arnie's awesome coffee... what is your favorite??  My husband and I love our coffee, also, and he surprises me sometimes with a special brew when he comes home from work (aren't husbands wonderful???).
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.  Many wonderful people here in our new church sort of forced me into opening a cake business (lots of referrals before I knew what was happening)... but it made me really buckle down and start considering what my time and skills were worth.  Your videos were so timely and I have, gratefully, adopted nearly all of your practices and pricing.  I heard another cake artist (in a different pricing video) say "People don't NEED custom cakes, they are a luxury item."  Hearing it put that way really helped me cement my need for pricing my time because it's true!  A luxury item demands SAVING for it.  It's not my problem if they don't have the money... my time and skills are worth the luxury price. So, again, thank you so much.  You and your husband have been faithfully in my prayers and blessings for HaShem to bless you mightily through your influence and encouragement of others.
