I had few things happen today that I think could lead to some things.
First, I stopped by my HOA office to find out about the cakewalk they were having at our Halloween festival in two weeks. I will be truthful I had never heard one before today. After I heard what it was and someone would be getting one of my cakes, I said, "Sign me up." I have already decided what I am making. I will be making two cakes. Right away I knew I should make my Cinnamon Apple Angel Food Cake and it didn't take me that long to decided on the second one. I was thinking to go a little Halloweenish (if that is a word), so I decided on a Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting. I know this will drive a good friend on mine crazy knowing that he can't have any, but oh well he will just have to deal it.
Second, while I was talking with the woman at the HOA about the cakewalk, I mentioned how I was trying to start my own business. She said that was great and asked if knew about the craft type show they were having in December. I didn't. She then told me about it. I could have a booth for $15 or $20 depending on the size I wanted and I could sell anything I wanted. I thought to my OMG, I could sell so many things. So, this is something I will need to keep in mind. And who knows, I could end up with many on the spot returning customers with Christmas only being 3 weeks later.
Lastly, I will have my ad run in my HOA monthly newsletter next month. This I am hoping will generate some business very soon, since it will come out in time for Thanksgiving.
Please keep your fingers crossed!
Until next time...... Happy Baking!
That's awesome! Only thing to keep in mind is that it is actually illegal in TX to sell cakes and baked goods out of a home kitchen, so be careful about what you say in advertising. Let us know when the craft show is!
