Cake/Cupcake Biz Roundtable Fall 2010!

This cake was designed by member Marcos Pena.

We are pleased to announce that Amy DeGiulio, owner, The Sugar Flower Cake Shop, is coming on board as our new Sponsor!

For all of you who want a "nuts and bolts" discussion of what it takes to open a custom cake or cupcake business (and there are many many of you), Amy has agreed to hold a Roundtable and Q&A for us sometime late September or early October.

Amy has been in business for a few years. Besides selling her realistic sugarflowers, she also sells cakes. The Sugar Flower Shop has received much buzz, which includes but is not limited to, Weddings, The Knot, WEtv, Brides New York, and Wedding Wire. She is also a recipient of 2010 Brides Choice Award.

Amy is currently in the process of obtaining retail space, so she is in a unique position to share with us her experiences with up-to-date information on what it takes to open a custom cake/cupcake business in such a competitive market as New York City. Luckily for us, Amy is graciously willing to share and provide tips and concrete information.
