Testimonial from a cake decorator...Peta Chant of Be Enchanted Cakes (now retired)ABIA Winner 2005, 2006, 2007
One day I was looking through a bridal magazine wondering if I was a bride which wedding cake would I pick so I chose one and called the supplier, Karen Hill of Wedding Cake Art. I told her that I was also a wedding cake maker and I thought her work was stunningly beautiful. I told her that I was sorry to be cold calling her like that as I was not in the market to buy a cake. I was upfront and said that I wanted to talk to her as a cake decorator and that I was worried that she would be upset with me wasting her time. I had one question. I asked her if the magazine she advertised that cake in was worth the dollars they were charging. Rather than being annoyed with me, Karen was extremely helpful and friendly. The amazing thing is that even though we were technically in opposing businesses, we could become friends. At a tough time for me when my health was declining to the point when I had to stop doing my own business, Karen came to rescue and took over my orders. I have since retired but remain eternally greatful. To this day it is nice to have a chat with a fellow cake decorator and discuss cake business. I highly recommend Karen to all my friends and family to do the cakes that I can no longer do.
