#BURNT ORANGE AND BURGUNDY WEDDING COLORS HOW TO#

Since I run my business by myself, I’m the only person who answers messages/takes orders, figures out what ingredients I need and goes to the store to buy them, bakes the cakes, spends the time figuring out how to execute a design and decorates the cakes, packages the cakes, handles the orders/takes payment at pickup, posts content/manages social media platforms, delivers and sets up wedding cakes, and my personal least favorite-cleans the kitchen after it’s all done.

The hardest thing to realize is that I’m not just a girl who makes cakes and sells them. Although it’s true that I can make my own schedule, decide for myself when my work load is full, choose which products to sell and how to sell them, I was not prepared for how demanding it would be to run a business from top to bottom. Now that I’m 3 years deep in my business, I’ve realized that being a business owner is not exactly what I imagined as a little girl with big dreams. I knew at a young age that I wanted to be my own boss, it always seemed to make the work-home life balance easier.

When I was growing up, both of my parents and many other relatives had small businesses. Have you ever wondered that yourself? Maybe you can talk to us about a time when you felt this way? It’s rewarding, but most business owners we’ve spoken sometimes think about what it would have been like to have had a regular job instead.
