Sell Cupcakes

My Business LOGO
I have met a friend of mine when studying at University, she can bake cakes and muffins.
We decided to open a business for our Saturday classes at University where she was supposed to bake the cakes and I was to bring the drinks and sell to our fellow students.
After that, she gave me some recipes, I started baking. I have baked my child's birthday cake and cupcakes that I have shared at her creche. Everybody loves them.
I started planning to open a cupcake business - Annecake. I just hope God will bless my idea.
Thank you
Hi Anne
Thanks so much for sharing your story about how you decided to sell cupcakes.
I think that with fewer and fewer people who seem to cook these days, but at the same time more and more people seem to enjoy tasty home-cooked treats, you are on to a real winner.
The main thing is to ensure the quality of your cupcakes by using reliable recipes and using good ingredients. Your customers will happily pay for freshness and taste.
I hate going to the shops and seeing cupcakes packaged with an expiry date that is 6 weeks ahead. All I can think is that they must be packed with preservatives to keep them that long. In contrast, the home-based cupcake baker can offer freshness and variety of flavors.
Good luck with your business.
Regards
