The Business of Cake Making Podcast

Ep 43 - Recipe Development

This episode we talk about how we introduce new flavours into tried and tested recipes. Rather than starting afresh and having to trial every new flavour a client may want, having a basic vanilla cake that you can add extras to will help hugely.

Ep 42 - Claire from Beyond the Oven talking about Tax and Finance

We know that as Cake Makers and Creatives, the thought of doing our Tax Return often fills us with dread. So, to debunk things and make life a little more understandable we invited Claire From Beyond the Oven to come and chat all things Tax and Finance.

Claire is an Accountant who specialises in dealing with Cake Makers, so know it's not a job we love, and knows how to explain things in a way that is fully understandable.

Ep 41- Robert Haynes from Sugar Flower Studio

Ahead of the start of Robert's first 3 week online sugar flower workshop, we chat to him about how he got to this point. He makes the most realistic sugar flowers and has taught his craft all over the world. Covid and the Pandemic put a stop to that, so he challenged himself to take his teaching online.

He also chats to us about the products he has bought to market, and the work and research that went into them. He's a fascinating man, and a truly interesting listen.
