Birthday Cakes

Question

Hi all,
I wish to start a business of themed birthday cakes but unable to find stores that sell supplies such as cake boards, pipping bags etc. Can anybody advice where I can find them?
Thanks in Advance.

There are loads of online stores where you can buy those things - but I would say there are quite of few of these businesses already operating in Brussels ... so you might find the market quite crowded.

And do you have all the necessary authorisations in place? The mere fact that you are having to ask where to buy basic equipment suggests that you may not.

With plenty of competitors out there, if you are working in the black it won't take long for the authorities to find you.

Hi,

No-one who knows where to get stuff like this cheaply will tell you where to get it. They either are in business buying the stuff or are about to.

A suggestion, leaving aside legalities like registering yourself officially.

Find some-one in the UK who is already doing what you want to do and talk to them. They may be open to the idea of a franchise. It's good for them, increased purchasing power reduces prices. good for you, recognised brand. Don't compete, co-operate and have territorial distinction.

Thank you all…..
If its a small home business do I need to take a professional card?

Yes indeed, "a small home business" needs the correct authorisation, see this for some info:
