Quantity of cakes in a weeks work

Hi all
This isn’t really a question as such but another local cake decorator had posted a comment on a page saying anyone who does more than 1 cake a week is not spending the time they should be on it and it won’t be of quality which is why she only does 1. As an owner of a small business in the same area I definitely do more than 1 a week and put a lot of effort into all my cakes. I was wondering what kind of response to give in case I get asked about this from any customers or whether I m just reading too much into it and totally ignore it? Not sure if anyone else has had anything similar.

Well that’s a new one! Sometimes I only do one cake a week and that would be because a) I only have one order or b) it’s a hugely complicated wedding cake! I am going to assume that she has a full time job and makes cakes on the side as I can’t see any customer ordering an 8″ birthday cake and happily paying an invoice for 35 hours work!!

Hi Doodlecake. No she actually does this full time. And I totally agree with you if it was something really complicated I can understand that logic too. And also like you it depends what orders I have a week, sometimes more than others. But I put the same effort into all my cakes, not always the same time as some take me longer than others and some I can do fairly quickly. But they do not lack in quality. I also never post statuses like this no matter what I think as I like to keep my page totally professional which is why I wondered if I needed to or not. Thanks for answering x
