Hey Guys! If you have decided to start a cake business but do not know where to start and how to go about things, read on so that you can know about what you will need to start a cake business. First of all, this post is all about starting a cake business from home, as a small business owner and not the big commercial ones. You can do that too and I will be posting about it later.

First and the most important thing is to learn how to bake a cake and decorating a cake. Because experting a recipe is so much more important. The first thing a customer judges you on is your quality and taste. So make sure you get that right. You can buy some books by clicking here to start your journey of baking. After you are done with that and obviously while learning, you will need baking and decorating equipments too.

So here I have made a list of 6 most important items you will need to start your small cake business successful:

Oven

Ok, this is pretty basic, but yeah, you’ll need an oven and preferably an electric one. Although all ovens are different, but I started mine in a gas oven. Bakes the cakes well but I wish I knew it would be easier with an electric oven. Even after buying the oven, don’t expect your baking to go well in the first try. You will learn slowly and understand the temperatures in your oven after several mistakes. So get this right before you start a business.

 

Baking Trays, silicone liners, muffin liners and trays.

I highly recommend using aluminum based trays, especially for cake because the cake bakes well, that’s it. Silicone liners are needed if you are going to make cookies or macaroons or biscuits. Don’t forget to keep the size of muffin liners and muffin trays the same.

 

Electric Whisk or Stand Mixer

You will definitely need and electric whisk or a stand mixer if you start a cake business because you can whisk decorating cream which your hands. You will not be able to use your hand for the next 10 days if you try to whisk up the frosting by a hand whisk, trust me! Buy a Stand mixer that has a steel bowl instead of plastic ones as they do better if you are mixing bread dough.

 

Turn Table

You will need a turn table for cake icing. Do not attempt to do it without one because then you will not perfect the icing on your cake and nowadays no one forgives you for an ugly cake. So yes, the cake needs to look good. Click here for a good deal.

 

Nozzles, pipping bags, spatulas, etc

You will need a bunch of nozzles which you can buy it from any baking shops, a number of bags, because you will be using them a lot, spatulas, and a scraper to make the cake look beautiful.

 

Edible Colors and items

Always use Gel colors in baking. Some good brands are Americolor, wilton. Also have a bunch of colors on hand if they customer asks for a different color, you can always mix and match to get your desired outcome.
