• Cling wrap
• Food colouring
• Dishes
• Washing those dishes... and then washing them again 😅
• Cake boxes
• Cake boards
• Dowels and supports
• Ribbon and decorative trims
• Cake toppers
• Sprinkles and edible decorations
• Piping bags
• Baking paper
• Foil
• Electricity for mixers, ovens and fridges
• Gas (if you bake with gas)
• Water
• Delivery and fuel
• Vehicle wear and tear
• Recipe testing
• Last-minute rush orders

The cake isn't just flour, sugar and eggs. It's packaging, electricity, cleaning, planning, shopping, decorating, delivering, and years of learning wrapped up in one delicious box. 🧁💕
