Never watched the program but Stranger Things themed cakes seem very popular

OK I've jumped on the bandwagon too. No idea why the folkestone photographer might have to change that

I keep seeing posts where people are looking for a cake that:

• won’t cost the earth
• isn’t an arm and a leg
• isn’t a ridiculous price

And I get it. Everyone has a budget.

But sometimes the budget doesn’t quite match the expectations of what’s being asked for.

Having a custom cake made by a professional home baker is a considered purchase, and there’s a reason for that.

Before the oven even goes on, there’s already the cost of quality ingredients and packaging. Often £15 to £20 minimum. Then there are utility costs, insurance, equipment, ongoing training and all the behind the scenes business costs that come with running a registered food business from home.

Then there’s time. A custom cake isn’t just baked and done. From start to finish, design, baking, decorating and finishing, a single cake can take 4 to 5 hours of skilled work. Like any profession, that time needs to be paid fairly.

When you order a custom cake, you’re not just paying for ingredients. You’re paying for experience, skill, food safety, reliability and the peace of mind that your cake will look and taste as it should for your celebration.

I know not every cake maker will be the right fit for every budget, and that’s okay. But pricing isn’t about overcharging. It’s about running a sustainable business and valuing the work that goes into every order.

If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s absolutely fine. I truly believe there’s a baker out there for everyone.

And for those who choose to book with me, thank you for valuing handmade, small business work more than you probably realise.

If you haven't seen Stranger Things, like me, then these cupcake will look like a strange combination of random things, but after a bit of research I managed to give the customer what they wanted, Stranger Things themed cupcakes. I even managed to bring the theme together using red.

A buttercream birthday cake they are calling these vintage cakes nowadays. That makes me feel old as that is the style I used to do when I first started but then it was done in royal icing.

Just tried Ai adjustment on a cake photo. I think this is a way forward as I have struggled with cake photography. Ai on the left my picture on the right. Not modified to make it look impossible but just enough to see the cake clearly.

A Happy 8 year old who was having a gaming bus to his birthday party. Delious chocolate cake in the shape of an eight and a rice Krispy game controller.
