Today l am in conversation with Krissy from the baking business lounge.

We spoke about finding confidence, going full time in the business, pricing and using fresh flowers on cakes.
Also in this episode l reflect on the month of May in my business and how it’s been a challenging time for aspects of the business. I also discuss what's trending (or rather the lack of a clear cake trend in May
