Information about what it takes to run a successful bakery
Cakes have been around since the dawn of time and it will be safe to say that they are not going anywhere anytime soon. If you wish to start your own cake shop Dubai then you must know that there are so many things which you will have to face and overcome while maintaining your quality of cakes. Here are a few things that can make or break the baker:
- Practice
Practice does not mean working at 4 different cakes at the same time. It means to perfect that one chocolate fudge cake which you already know by heart and everyone knows that it’s your signature cake. Slowly bring variations to that cake and make it something new by testing it on your family and friends. They will give you clear insights as to what needs to change and what more can be done. This way, you can surely enhance things while also finding out what else needs to be worked on.
- Choose a niche
Yes there are niches even in the cake business. You need to choose which kind of bakery you want to open. Whether you will be focusing on wedding cakes, celebratory cakes or birthday cake in Dubai, this will help you in determining the direction and give your customers a better know how to what they are getting into. Make sure your niche is well defined for you and your audience to ensure long term success.
- Do your research
You are bound to make mistakes when you first enter any business. Perfection only comes with experience. What you can do is test out different bakeries and sees what they are offering and how much they are offering it for. This will help you in determining which style and flavour of cake people love and what kind of prices they are willing to pay. By time you will be able to set your own rates but to start off, it is better to go with the flow.
- Decoration
Yes we are talking about the decoration of your shop and your cake – both. These both things hold importance so make sure you are creative enough to find something to stand out than the others. Choose the decoration wisely and make sure that your cakes are unique in their own way. Whether it’s a wedding cake or a simple nut cake, its dressing should speak volumes about your bakery.
