You all know how much I love Craftsy classes and stand behind the quality and instructors. If you can't get to a live class for whatever reason, then Craftsy is the next best thing! The newest class on the roster is no exception! Now, I have long wanted my own Craftsy class, and it is still something I hope to do sooner than later. But until that dream comes true, I am ecstatic (actually over the moon) to share that a Canadian has broken onto the Craftsy scene!
That's right! In just 5 short days, Craftsy will launch "Small Cakes, Big Business", starring none other than my BCF, Chrissie Boon! I can never sing Chrissie's praises enough - a wife, a mother of 3 (including the cutest 6 month old I've ever seen), an award winning cake designer, a successful entrepreneur (her store Icing Inspirations is my favorite place on earth as you know), organizer of the upcoming cake event of the year - Cake Carnival, and now Craftsy instructor! And I should throw in she is also the bestest friend a cake dude could ask for!
Now, Chrissie can't share any video with me until class launches on September 25th, but she was able to give me the lowdown on what this class is all about. It is a decorating class and business class tied into one - and you all know I love a 2-for! Chrissie understands our struggles with customers who want custom cakes but don't wanna pay custom prices - and we all have em! In "Small Cakes, Big Business", Chrissie will teach you how to supplement your cake income by building a line of cakes that are not time consuming for the decorator, but still offer customers somewhat of a custom look. This is something I can't wait to include in my cake offerings - it is an awesome idea!
Yes, I know Chrissie personally, and can attest that what you see is what you get. She is as nice in person as she comes across on screen, and she really does want to see her students and customers succeed! She is one of the biggest advocates for squashing the nastiness that is often prevalent in our industry, and I commend her for that! In her own words, "there is enough cake for everyone" - words that have resonated with me since I interviewed her for the blog a few years ago. Chrissie wants you to succeed so much that one lucky reader will get the chance to win her Craftsy class for free along with a $25 gift card for Icing Inspirations. All you have to do is click on the link below and you will be entered in the contest. But hurry - Craftsy will pick one luck winner right before the class launch Wednesday!
If you want to learn how to grow your cake business and maybe finally turn a profit, then "Small Cakes, Big Business" is the class for you! Mark your calendars, and get the class September 25th. And if you want to meet Chrissie in person she will be at Toronto's Baking & Sweets Show next weekend, the Montreal Cake Show October 19-20 (where we are both teaching), and will also be hosting Cake Carnival (where 4 other Craftsy instructors will be among 6 of the world famous intructors) November 6-8.
Until Next Time,
Happy Caking!
