Hello,

How many cake did you make in 2006???
- wedding cake
- birthday cake ...

I'll have to go home and count, get back to ya. LOL

Lol It's approximativly ! I want to know approximativly how many birthday cake and wedding cake 1 person can make in year when you have a bakery

Thanks

About 30- most all were birthday cakes. One wedding cake and two Thank you cakes

The answer is really going to depend on lots of things-skill level, difficulty of the cakes, amount of workspace/storage space you have to accomodate cake, number/size of ovens, etc.

With a business you also have to look at the number of bakeries in your area, what type of bakery it is, the population, an estimate of the number of weddings that may occur, etc

I can't have this answer because in my country we don't have this type of cake ! so you are my only answer

1 - paid
6 - freebies

I know what a dummy

This is my first full year making cakes and I had 80 paying orders. Not bad??!! No wedding cakes, but I did make a dozen or more tiered cakes.

2006 I was just getting started and really just word of mouth here and there, so I did, hmmm...

3 big paying weddings

1 wedding cake class cake

1 large dummy for the fair

1 freebie 2-layer practice went to neighbors

15 going on 19 dummies for bridal fest in Jan.

1 graduation

3 birthdays

1 cheesecake

several for us at home...

Total: 23 wedding cakes or dummies

5 other

so...28, all paid except dummies

Just rub it in ..........................I did do several dummy cakes

I'm sending out a mailing to the neighbors tomorrow. I just have to get my feet in the door.

guess I'm going to have to check I haven't counted.

Another name for a Groom's cake should have been a
"Dummy" cake.

Ok, just going through my photos I have 39 special occasion cakes (birthdays, showers, etc.) give or take a couple and I have 3 wedding cakes and 1 grooms cake. I'll have 3 more special occasion cakes and 1 more wedding cake by the end of the year!
Wow, I didn't think I did that much!
HeatherMari

over 40 weddings/events (cake and catering); about a dozen special occasion sheet cakes (including 2 that served over 100); 2000 dozen cookies. (The cookies were done inside of a 4-month period. I then canceled the contract due to time limitations.) Plus a full time job.

34 plus 1 wedding and I still have pending orders for the end of the year. Not bad for working out of my little tiny kitchen. Goal next year is 50 plus 4 weddings, already have 1 wedding booked and 2 pending decision on wedding date.
