This is the kinda feel I get when I read your name:

On a good note I also looked at your site and I agree that your cartoon pic is a little risky but so was the statue of MichaelAngelo with that being said Every business has a lows and sometimes we just have to go through the storm. But advertising is your best bet. and here is a web page site to create a web page that may help as well. It is called webs.com Here you can create a website for free "free is always nice advertising" and there is a limit but you can always purchase more. After your page is done you can go to google and the rest of the web search engines and apply to have your business advertised on theose engines. I agree that FB is a good Free site to and that is where I have placed monthly avertisments of what's coming up (10% off month of Septerber, 6 free cupcakes with an order over $75.bucks) that kinda thing may help and definatley can't hurt.

I've read through all the replies and have had a look at your revised website. If your looking for honesty then I would say that the colour green does not make me smile , a jolly website for cakes should engage you immediately - pink, blue, pastels etc are best - and like some of the others , I love you original cartoon work, it looks like you and you obviously chose it for a reason, the one you have now looks like a bottle of wine or a vase and doesn't tell me what you do - which is, make fab cakes. I'm currently having my website graphically updated as I thinks it's cluttered and not professional enough, we did it ourselves - the next one will be just as pretty but sleeker. Your website should reflect you and the cartoon, in my eyes, didn't have any sexual connotations and your name is quirky and should get people's attention.
Definitely join a local business group, share ideas and concerns, there are lots of local supportive groups here in the uk (cake eaters anonymous) - why not start up your own .

Take a look at mine - like I said, needs a good tweak but right now I thinks it's better to have one up linked to your FB page and Twitter etc do not try and compete with , after reading reviews they don't seem to be 'all that'.

Good luck
