IMO as I say, you need to either close it off properly and take the hit or close it off properly with an IP and pay the fees to do that, you can’t have your cake and eat it I’m afraid Good luck

Cake decorators are always looking for interesting new things to put on cakes. You could make ones that have little chocolate balls in and when you put it over a fire the marshmallow and the chocolate melt I personally wouldn't buy marshmallows as a snack, as I wouldn't for cupcakes (£2.50 for 1 cupcake I saw the other day!) but I think cake decorators would, along with people giving them for ...

There is also the car show in the NEC.

At the moment I'd start off small and work your way up, I actually have a few clients that run similar businesses (such as wedding cake makers) where we manage their websites/flyers etc. and most of them are very small but successful businesses.

Look to grow your business outside the template of your shop. Local business buffets, parties, wedding catering etc... but above all, as above, plan plan plan - oh - and get the basics right, know your stuff, learn to be a CEO, accountant, buyer, HR manager, repair person, caterer, barista, counsellor, pighead all rolled into one!
