No-one is taught how to run a cake business, but don't let that stop you. Life, it's experiences and your other/previous jobs will all give you skills which will help you going forward.
In this episode we chat about the jobs we have done and how they have helped us. Some have been in catering, some have been in hospitality, some it would seem would have no relevance what so ever, but we chat through how they have all helped!

Happy New Year!
We're starting the new year with an episode on Learning and Courses.
The New Year is a time when we evaluate our business and set goals. At this time we may realise that we are lacking knowledge in some areas that would be beneficial. In this episode we chat about the courses we have done, why we did those at that particular point in our businesses, and how we chose the ones we did.
