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!

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,

?

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.

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...

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
