Do you make cakes or cookie?

[Covax]

Hi there all cake enthusiasts,

My name is Paul and i am a cake maker but finding it difficult to get my hands on sugar craft items locally.

I was forwarded a survey with just 10 questions (see attached link) from a friend of who also makes cakes, and we both agree that this survey would indicate that a cakecraft shop is needed in South London, and the proposed areas are; SE5, SE17, SE22, SE23 & SE26.

You do not have to disclose your personal details, and there is also a chance for you to receive ?20 just for your participation.

To participate, simply click on the following link: http;//www.surveymonkey.com/S/VQYCYBS

It would be fantastic if this proposed store could open up in Dulwich, as I can only get my cakecraft materials from Kent or online.

Happy cake baking folks!

I didn't see any such chance offered. Was that because I answered No to question 1?

Do we now look forward to an ad about you and Paul opening a local cakeheads' shop?

It does sound like it doesn't it? A list of postcodes sounds suspiciously like a contractual restriction in a franchise application.

Doesn't get away from the fact that cake baking is a sound enterprise, and well worth the support of a local supplier.

Paul, you know there's a WI locally? They're very young, attractive and outgoing - but into things like cake and judo.

Incidentally,

There is a good cake shop doing all the craft stuff and sugar flowers etc. Joannes cake heaven.

It's next door to Bellingham station, so there is a chance that you might find some of Huguenots cake as well.

I love cake....Iceland do nice ones if you can wait for them to defrost >:D

[PeckhamRose]

So does PeckhamRose if you can wait for her to get UP.

And not to rain on anyone's parade, a former employer of mine, who has a large supermarket on Dog Kennel Hill, launched a range of baking stuff (a lot of it only previously available from specialist cakecraft shops) earlier this year, so I do wonder just how specialist this stuff has to be to find a niche. And if it's that specialist, whether there's a market to sustain it.

But what do I know: I don't even really like cake.

I make cakes professionally and I travel to Bromley, Kent to get my supplies - www.cakecraftworld.co.uk

Ebay is fine for some things but you can't hire novelty cake tins from ebay and if you were to order multiple items the postage & packaging costs wouldn't make it worth it.

I would love to see a local cake craft shop & I am sure it would be useful to home bakers too if they wanted to

delve into the world of baking a little further.

It never lets me down & is full of cream

Mind you it is a bit filling

There is a Lakeland shop in Bromley.

I like the Jane Asher shop in Chelsea, and they're very good online as well.

Having said that, I would absolutely not turn down the opportunity to have specialist cake supplies on my doorstep! Though it might prove detrimental to my bank balance. And my kitchen is already covered in edible glitter...

Boxes for cakes, I found that Rye Pac are really good. I think you can find them on google. They have a show room too. Packaging for all sorts. I love it and deffo reccommend it. :)
