InterviewTell me about this custom cake company, Thin Slice, that you are starting?I have been making custom cakes for a number of years. It started just for friends and family, if someone were having a birthday, I would always make the cake. People always told me that I should do it professionally. Therefore, when I decided to go back to school, it made sense for me to take Entrepreneurial Management and pursue baking. Are you going to stop at custom cakes or will you be tempting people with other baked goods as well?The goal is to open my own bakery and have cupcakes, brownies and cookies. I think it would be great to sell coffee too, and have a place for people to hang out and eat. It would be great if it expanded into a place for lunch as well, then I could offer sandwiches and stuff. People do seem obsessed with cupcakes lately, but really, it is all about the icing. What is the secret to making great icing?To be honest, the more fatty and sugary the icing is the better it tastes. Anything that is horrible for you has to taste great, otherwise what’s the point? There is that show on TV called Ace Of Cakes. Can you make cakes as crazy as that?They made a movable robot cake one time. That would take forever! Plus, who would really want to eat it? The more intricate a cake becomes the less edible it is. I mean there is obviously some type of motor mechanisms in there making it move. I will stick with cake and icing for now. |
