Description:
MY BUSINESS IS 1 YEAR OLD. IT IS PRIMARILY A CAKE DECORATING SUPPLY BUSINESS, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES CANDY, COOKIE, AND CUPCAKE SUPPLIES. ALONG WITH SUPPLIES, I OFFER CAKE DECORATING CLASSES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS. MY BUSINESS IS UNIQUE TO THIS AREA, AS I AM THE EXCLUSIVE CAKE DECORATING SUPPLY THIS SIDE OF SEATTLE. I CARRY A FULL LINE OF SUPPLIES, AS WELL AS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH ALLOWS ME TO PRODUCE EDIBLE PHOTOS FOR CAKES. THIS IS A VERY EXCITING, AND FAIRLY NEW TECHNOLOGY TO THE CAKE DECORATING INDUSTRY! THIS WILL BE A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS AS MORE AND MORE CUSTOMERS DISCOVER IT'S EXISTANCE. EACH AND EVERY DAY NEW CUSTOMERS COME THRU MY DOORS AND EXCLAIM "I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HEAR, DON'T EVER CLOSE!!! I HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE IN THE CAKE DECORATING FIELD. I SPENT THE LAST 20 YEARS WORKING AS A COMMERCIAL CAKE DECORATOR, AND WORKED FROM MY HOME BASED BUSINESS IN 3 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR 17 YEARS BEFORE THAT. I FEEL VERY WELL QUALIFIED TO TAKE CARE OF MY CUSTOMERS NEEDS,WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUSINESS, AS WELL AS BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. THE ONE THING I LACK IS FINANCIAL BACKING TO DO THE BEST FOR MY CUSTOMERS, TO BE THE BEST CAKE DECORATING SUPPLY IN THE WHOLE NORTHWEST! UP TO NOW I HAVE BACKED MY BUSINESS WITH PERSONAL FINANCES, WHICH HAS HIT US PRETTY HARD. I HAVE A DREAM, AND WANT IT TO FLOURISH, AS I KNOW IT CAN, AS LONG AS THE MONEY IS BEHIND ME.
