November Cake Hang Review and Link
https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/9NAtq20Ca1u8vsDvTzuEbTP6XZj7taCxnQHSbCZAyFBAOcdMrSVFAOrCE1FA7CPL.Iix_nRticXtOC5qX Passcode: d3p$t*0N Personal and Business Updates - Micki-Jay worked two bonfire night events in one week, selling over 300–350 bakes at the second event, which had roughly 2,600 attendees. - Micki-Jay noted that sales were split roughly 50/50 between cash and card. 6 Cake International Product Reviews - PME Mystery Box: Micki-Jay bought one but would not recommend it, as it contained many cookie cutters she does not use. - PME Whitener: Jess bought a large bottle because of the packaging; she plans to film a test video since she does not bake regularly. - PME Sprays: Jess bought Burgundy, Navy, and Orange; she noted the bottles look similar to Colour Mill and may have similar leaking issues. - PME Glitters: Jess bought a tub of three (blue sapphire, pink topaz, white crystal); she noted that large tubs costing around £300 were left unsecured on the stand. - PME Candy Melts: A contact who does hand-painted cake pops recommended PME candy melts over other brands. - Renshaws: Jess bought packs of colors for 50p and Mallow ready-to-use fluff for £1.50 per tub. 1415 - PME Edible Glitter Flakes: Jess received a sample; Micki-Jay had several from a mystery box and found them dull and not very effective. - Karen Davis Molds: Annie highly recommends these for quality and longevity, suggesting they can be used for chocolate shapes like Santa hats or mittens. Thermoblade Heated Scraper Review - Price: The scraper is £325, with a bundle including four patterns, an apron, and other items for around £350. - Performance: Jess found it heavy (similar to a Kindle) and felt it required too much buttercream to achieve a perfect scrape in one pass. - Value: Jess believes the return on investment is low for most bakers, comparing the cost to a stand mixer or a new fridge. - Market Fit: Jess questioned the timing of the launch (January) and whether the product aligns with current trends, noting a shift toward sugar paste and fondant over buttercream. 2425 - Functionality: The tool does not do the top of the cake well; the creator admitted she had not practiced the top because she does it differently.

Allergies
Someone asked for a cake and when they told me they have a nut allergy I politely declined the order as I don’t cater to allergies but she’s now said what if I just don’t eat that cake ? 🙈😂 I don’t know what to do though !🤷🏼‍♀️ does anyone have any advise what they would do in this situation ? 😵‍💫

hey, so do you say no to all allergy order? (totally fine and good practice if you do, your business your rules). All I used to say is, I make all bakes in a kitchen that handles XXX so due to cross contamination all my bakes 'may contain xxx'. Then it's down to the customer if they want to order. Home bakers will never be a 'Free From' bake. As long as the customer knows its down to them, they also might have a smaller allergy so can have 'may contain' x
Labels
I’m trying to sort my labels out but my printer won’t print bold text so the allergens are only in capitals, is this ok or do I need a new printer?

How come it won't print bold, is it the printer or the document?

@Robyn Pethick how weird, maybe ask someone you know with a printer to check and then swap out the printer
