Welcome to Episode 5! This month we discuss starting our cake businesses, opening and closing a cake shop, the pitfalls of buying formers on Ebay, and much more.What does registering with the council actually involve? How scary are the Environmental Health inspections? How should you design your logo? We've got loads of new stuff to chat about too. We splashed out on a new USB microphone so the sound quality will be better while we are still recording over Zoom.

| 13 Oct 2020 | Diversity in the Cake Industry | 01:01:37 | |
October is Black History Month in the UK, so we thought we’d talk about diversity in the Cake Industry. It’s a massive subject and we only really have time here to skim the surface. Where are we falling down, what could we do better, and who should have a higher profile than they do? With the big cake show Cake International moving online this year, there hasn’t been much in the way of new things, but Sam and Erica have plenty of ideas for products scattered across the episode! If you do take any of these products further, be sure to send us a freebie 😊 New things Evil Cake Genius Succulent and Flower Pot moulds https://evilcakegenius.com/search/?q=succulent Re-formulated M&B Sugarpaste https://www.doriccakecrafts.co.uk/sugarpaste/M-B-Sugarpaste Cake International Nov 2020 show moved to online https://www.cakeinternational.co.uk/birmingham/ Main Feature Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes https://www.instagram.com/queenofheartscouturecakes/ Michelle Wibowo, Michelle Sugar Art https://www.instagram.com/michellesugarart/ African Culture Blog https://africanculture.blog/2016/09/10/top-20-black-british-female-cake-bakers-check-out-london-2018/ Solicious Bakes, Shola https://www.instagram.com/soliciousbakes/ My Bake Boss, Marie https://www.instagram.com/mybakeboss/ Ones to Watch The Indulgent Sugarplum, Nastassja Lusengo https://www.instagram.com/ms_sugar_plum/ Sideserf Cakes, Natalie Sideserf https://www.instagram.com/sideserfcakes/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-sugarcraft-junkies.
