I made cupcake and gave as gift in a very single box that I made, everything handmade and lady loved, and right away she asked me "do you sell? do you take orders? And I said I can try. She wanted for her meeting but she asked me to make mini cupcakes instead of normal size cupcakes. And because I have never made mini cupcakes and also new making cupcakes, I used the same time cooking for the mini cupcakes and dried out some cupcakes. Anyway I appreciated her feedback that the mini cupcakes were a little dried, and I told her that I used the time cooking by mistake. And I told her you pay me whatever you want, and she paid me. Her feedback helped me for improvement. And next time I will be able to give her very moist and not too sweet topping. I adjusted the recipe to her taste.
Ugh that's the most annoying thing about being an entrepreneur!! Like don't tell me how much my things should cost if I'm paying for invetory and etc ..🙄
Janie!!!! I freaking love you! Lol Great video! Pricing is still an issue for me. I never want to charge "too much" and end up shorting myself A LOT. So another video on pricing would be awesome. I love the "stay in your cake lane" point. I use to feel so much pressure to work with fondant. The fact of the matter is I truly don't enjoy it. I'm a buttercream girl and finally decided that it's just not my thing and if somebody wants fondant covered cakes they are gonna have to go to someone else. The relief I felt when i came to that realization was phenomenal!! Anyway, keep making these Friday Fixes. Totally love it!
Love your video….baking utensils hoarder over here. I wish I had gotten into cake decor earlier on I’m my yrs (I’m 53 now). Love the cake lane saying. I love decorating such an art!!
So glad i found this channel. I've been baking cakes for a few years. my focus now is to do it full time and leave my part time job. i think i will get great info from this channel. thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
1. Choose your equipment wisely. 2. Do your research. 3. Do not sell your cakes unless you’re ready. 4. Stay in your cake lane. 5. Know what kind of business you want to do. 6. You can buy premade. 7. Determine your prices early. 8. Get a website. 9. Get a written contract. 10. Time management.
There is something I think you should talk about the people stop talking at everybody else’s stuff and doubting yourself! I’ve been looking at OK please in French thinking that I’m not good enough when I know I am don’t lose your confidence is it good at what you do like Janie said, Figure your style and do the best you can do! Friends and family are not my biggest sellers. The website will do the trick! Thank you, i cant wait to get started!!!
I envy you! You are a beautiful and creative cake decorator 😍. I hope I can be as good as you 1 day. I can bake BUT my decorating skills are not there yet. Thank you for always sharing your creativity and knowledge. 💓 New subscriber
I just had this bright idea to make pound cakes and sweet potato pies as a home base business. This video was the first one I ran across and I just love it. So, I’m looking forward to more of your tips. I’m literally just getting started; never baked one before, but, I love to eat them. Thank you.
Woohoo!! Congratulations on taking the 1st steps trist me you will not regret it .. I'm glad I can be a source of motivation for you and you are finding my videos helpful... I will keep them coming dont worry 😘 wishing you best of luck on your business

Hi Janie. I am inspired . You mention very important points, like the website,time management, deciding on what type of cakes and sticking to them. All great pointers,thank you. I’m a subscriber👍🏾
It was long, but packed with super helpful information so it was perfect thank you for sharing. I'm planning on selling cupcakes for donations for a trip I'm going on with my daughter.
Great video!!! I am thinking about doing this, so it’s time for me to bake and bake to become really good when I put my name out there. Love the Cake Lane!!!
Enjoyed the video, could you talk about the legalities of a home-based business and mayve the steps to starting a home-based business. Thank you for the helpful tips!
How do you transport cakes that are like 3 tiers ? And how do you let someone pick up a cake that’s like 3 tiers ? Do you put each tier in a separate box or do u have one big box?
I normally transport them in my trunk I have a SUV... I like to transport them already stacked and if someone wants to pick up I tell them make sure they have a SUV... just put a towel at the bottom that will help it not to slip
wow are used to work at a hotel in the pastry shop trying to do something on my own I wish I would’ve seen your video for years ago you are so right yes contract I made a cake for 500 people and I did not take a deposit down so guess what happened never again then never showed up .but you guys have to be careful out there and be successful with your own Business try to work for yourself always do you know the schools and everybody tell you that you have to work for somebody try to do something on your own I’m 54 and I got into an accident but don’t make my mistakes . thank you everybody take care
Hahaha literally only 1 person told me that before and she was sooooo persistent about it but I never saw it... I guess if someone else sees it it must be so... well thank you 😘😁
I needed you...I’m brainstorming on how to ship delicate cakes like angel Food cakes with whipped cream and berries...I can’t wait to binge watch yiu videos... You’re a blessing
Aww thank you you're too sweet 😘 as far as shipping I stay away from that but if you look up "sugar geek show" on TH-cam I think she has a video on how to ship cskes
First video of yours I’m watching and it was just what I needed.. starting my cupcake/ cake business and you are extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing 💜 #subscribed
mandie's full house awesome!!! G Welcome to the family love 😘😘 and good luck on your cake journey 😁😁 and dont forget to have fun while making that mullah 😋
Amazing thank you much for sharing your knowledge with me...my cake business is just a hobby because I work full time...but eventually I would like a store front or sweets truck...
Thank you so much for watching! That's exactly how I started too as a hobby... its definitely a rewarding hobby though I do hope you get to expand soon! Good luck
"Stay in your own cake lane!" Yes! I'm in the middle of an order where I didn't do this. It is going to turn out but instead of looking forward to it I've been nervous about it for almost a month.
Hahhaha omg yup I remember those days 😔 we do learn the hard way though now I'm sure you will think twice before the next order... good luck with the cake though I hope it turns out great!
Wow.... love you. I was looking for something like this... I am not a cake person, but would wanna start a cookie business.... looking forward to watch all your videos... thank you so much
You're amazing those little tips and tricks that's good I'm taking my pointers from you anyway the pricing with cake because I love the big Jamaican cake but I don't know what I should charge for a 8 and 9 12 could you help me out with the the pricing thank you I'll be watching more
I lost it at cabbage flowers 😂😂😂😂. I'm really grateful you made this video. I am thinking of starting a cake/dessert business. I bake now and then because I have to share my small kitchen with my mom, and it's not possible to bake all the time. And we can't eat cake all day everyday, so I kinda space it out to weekends only. This video actually enlightened me that if I'm starting from the bottom, I don't need everything handmade and premium quality. Who would want to buy a $100 cake from someone without an amazing portfolio and unknown baker??? Imma start slow and and just see where things go. If I failed in making this a business, I can still do this as a hobby 🎉 Oh and I really REALLY LOVE YOUR HAIR! 💕
Thank you for the compliment... thinking of cutting it again 😁 and I would suggest you DO NOT start under charging in the beginning... I will make a Friday fixes next month specifically on how to get started baking from home so stay tuned...
Hey dear. Lemme tell you my story..I am a doctor by profession and love cooking. During corona, my lab staff wanted cake for her son's birthday and asked , " mam can you bake a cake as there is lockdown due to corona and my sons birthday is coming". Then my typist and some other doctors and so on. I am getting interested and want to really improve. I found your video and it really gave me useful tips. I will continue baking and my profession of reporting biopsies as well.. Love you 😘 wish I knew you personally too...
Thank u!! I just came across ur channel. It was fate! Im at baking for family and friends stage, trying to grow. Im starting the process of the website. #3 tip is so true, I've been being pressured 2 just do it but yea i knew i was on the right track. Lol im the same with #1 im a collector lol. Thank u again 4 ur tips I already subscribed and look forward to ur videos.
great video :) and please make more videos about everything if you havnt already, haha. im about to look on your channel now and see what other good stuff you have on there
Yes Please Talk About Pricing And Deposits🙏🏽 I Want To Start A Cake Business But Have No Clue How To Get Started.. Also Are All Your Cakes And Cupcakes Made From Scratch Or Are They Box Cakes? Omgeeesh Lol I Have So Many Questions About Starting A Cake Business I Am Very Grateful That You Have Shared With Us Who Are Trying To Get Into The Cake Business...I Look Forward To Your Next Tutorial And The Friday Fixes Series...Your Awesome..
Creative Sweets By Catina omg you are so sweet 😘😘 I'm happy to help however I can whatever questions you have just ask and I'll do my best to answer 😊 next Friday will be the pricing video so stay tuned for that... all of my cakes are from scratch except the red velvet... I don't do that from scratch cuz i find that it tastes better from the box lol... I've done the experience and my clients prefer the box one for some reason... But you should conduct a taste test amongst your friends and family (which I did) you bake the scratch then the box n don't tell them which is which n see what they prefer
omg. im so glad I found you. I dyed fondant for the first time and it was a disaster. I think i dried out the fondant by dying it slowly to get it to the shade i wanted. In end when I tried rolling it out it was cracking and looked like elephant skin. I added shortening etc to save the fondant but it dint work. help please
Thank you for watching! 😘 in my experience I find that once the fondant dries out there really isnt anything you can do to save it unfortunately depending on how dried out it is... 😪 try working faster with the fondant and see if that doesn't help you... by the way If anyone reading the comment knows how to fix it please comment here 😘
Good evening Mrs. Janie YOUR VIDEOS ARE INSPIRING AND I THANK GOD FOR SEARCHING TH-cam THIS AFTERNOON 😊❤️ I started out baking doing different stuff once I came.to the south. I backed a pacifier cake, wedding cake, teddy bear cakes, anniversary cakes. Decades ago all I did was open up a box cake bake and icing it using out the container. While in church special occasions came up and I stro out on Faith and God opened up and showed me talented gifts that I never had. All was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. To make a long story short I laxed on my gifts God gave me and now I want to bring it back to fruition. My biggest fear is fondant, flowers, etc. Once something intimidates me I get frustrated and give up and never go back to it. Another thing is that I'm left-handed and always seem to put in my mind that's why I cant do this and that. Any suggestion, and how can I privately message you.
Thank You! Could you go more into contracts and pricing please. Also can we bake a cake, freeze it and ice it after its defrosted? If so, how to protect the cake in the freezer?
Thank you for watching 😁 I did make a video on both of those check out my friday fixes playlist... as far as freezing yes you can I use seran wrap and. It always works great for me
This is a great video! Thanks so much for this information. I want to start selling my baked goods again and your channel will definitely help me. Thanks !
Thank you!!! Loved the video and your sunny disposition! Also, I never knew that fondant covered cakes should not be refrigerated. If you make a cake on Thursday for Saturday party, is it safe to keep it in room temperature for all that time, especially in the summer?
Maria hey love thanks for the compliment 😁😚... I'm sorry I might have confused you... I ALWAYS refrigerate my cakes... what I was referring to is that the fondant will sweat when you do refrigerate and i want to give out tips on how to avoid that... 😁 but to answer your question NO I personally don't recommend leaving the cake out at room temp...
lorie bly lovejoy you're welcome huh 😘 and good... take your time with it... there's no rush... when you're ready you'll do cakes 😊🤗 good luck on your cake journey!!!
Hi Jaine Am in quarantine and I have last 2 days to complete my 21 days quarantine. After reaching home I have decide to start cookies business from home and also one more thing I have to start everything from base, please would mine suggesting me on this base
Hello Jenny, This is Mireille here from Paris, I will like you to make a video about the different ways to kipe different times of cake's. Like fondant butter cream frosting, Italian merengue etc. Thanks in advance
I made cupcake and gave as gift in a very single box that I made, everything handmade and lady loved, and right away she asked me "do you sell? do you take orders? And I said I can try. She wanted for her meeting but she asked me to make mini cupcakes instead of normal size cupcakes.

Her feedback helped me for improvement. And next time I will be able to give her very moist and not too sweet topping. I adjusted the recipe to her taste.
I had a customer negotiating $5 with me, I was like really? What would $5 do to you, if the whole cake cost $45! Seriously!!
Hahahah this is too funny!! 5 bux really?
5 euros is five euros
You should hand to the customer a few eggs and the flour and tell her that's $5 dollars.
Ugh that's the most annoying thing about being an entrepreneur!! Like don't tell me how much my things should cost if I'm paying for invetory and etc ..🙄
La belle Époque 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Janie!!!! I freaking love you! Lol Great video! Pricing is still an issue for me. I never want to charge "too much" and end up shorting myself A LOT. So another video on pricing would be awesome.

Thank you for watching! 😘 in my experience I find that once the fondant dries out there really isnt anything you can do to save it unfortunately depending on how dried out it is... 😪 try working faster with the fondant and see if that doesn't help you... by the way If anyone reading the comment knows how to fix it please comment here 😘
Good evening
Mrs. Janie YOUR VIDEOS ARE INSPIRING AND I THANK GOD FOR SEARCHING TH-cam THIS AFTERNOON 😊❤️
I started out baking doing different stuff once I came.to the south. I backed a pacifier cake, wedding cake, teddy bear cakes, anniversary cakes. Decades ago all I did was open up a box cake bake and icing it using out the container. While in church special occasions came up and I stro out on Faith and God opened up and showed me talented gifts that I never had. All was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. To make a long story short I laxed on my gifts God gave me and now I want to bring it back to fruition. My biggest fear is fondant, flowers, etc. Once something intimidates me I get frustrated and give up and never go back to it. Another thing is that I'm left-handed and always seem to put in my mind that's why I cant do this and that. Any suggestion, and how can I privately message you.
Thankyou janie..ur video is so much helpful.. I'm searching for the same for a long...my First comment ever...ur new subbie from india🇮🇳

When should you show the client your contract/policy??? Should it be on the website while they order?
No I draw it up for the after they’ve placed their order then they sign and return it to me and I can start working on their cakes
love it ! love u! thank you 💗 this is exactly what i was searching for🤩🤪🥳 yeyyy
😘 I'm glad you found the video helpful thank you for watching
Thank you!!! Loved the video and your sunny disposition! Also, I never knew that fondant covered cakes should not be refrigerated. If you make a cake on Thursday for Saturday party, is it safe to keep it in room temperature for all that time, especially in the summer?
Maria hey love thanks for the compliment 😁😚... I'm sorry I might have confused you... I ALWAYS refrigerate my cakes... what I was referring to is that the fondant will sweat when you do refrigerate and i want to give out tips on how to avoid that... 😁 but to answer your question NO I personally don't recommend leaving the cake out at room temp...
Thanks! I read that refrigerating in cardboard boxes help against sweating. Will try it tomorrow.
Also, I could not find your website. Can you share a link?
