The Business of Cake Making Podcast thebusinessofcakemaking

This week we revisit a topic we did back in Episode 28 - Time Management.
things have moved on a lot in the world since we last talked about this and we have got better at planning our time.
We talk about planning, preparation, boundaries, routines, distractions and being tidy.
 

This week we are talking about how to SAY NO!!
Cake Makers, as a group, are notoriously bad at saying no. We chat about why you should say no, when to say no, and how to say no.
Saying no is empowering and will definitely reduce the stress levels in your cake business.
 

Today we chat to Suzanne Esper - or we should say Doctor Suzanne Esper!

It was such a wonderful chat it could have lasted for hours. Also, listen out for the competition she has set for our listeners.

Summer is coming and for cake makers it's often the busiest tie of the year. Are you ready?
In this weeks episode we chat about preparing for summer, going to fair, markets and festivals and fitting all that in around your usual baking schedule.
We share hints and tips about how we've done markets in the past and what we've learnt along the way.

This week we tackle the subject of Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity within your cake business. Many of us are sole traders who aren't sure how we can address this topic in our businesses. Just because we don't employ anyone, doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking about it.
Martin talks us through what it means to be inclusive and how we can show our customers we are taking things seriously.
