Cupcake bakeries are one of the hottest new small business ventures and it’s little wonder that women are jumping on the band wagon to open both home-based band traditional cupcake bakeries.

Baking cupcakes is one of the happiest jobs you can do today. Who doesn’t like cupcakes? They come in all sizes, flavors and with icings flavors as vast as the stars in the sky. For the past 25 years I have said there is nothing more enjoyable that feeding the masses; and although the culinary field is rarely fair to the women in the industry, professional cooking and baking is still one of the most sexist professions around, the emergence of cupcake and cake decorating shops may be just the niche many women need and want.

Why! Well, a cupcake bakery allows you to develop your life work around the needs of your family; and for many women that’s a big deal…

1. Bakers are allowed to be happy in the moment. Creative work that puts a smile on the face of your customers equals instant reward!

2. Bakers now have time to appreciate their friends and family. They can set their hours, bake as much or as little as they like and be their when their children get home; this is sometimes the case with a brick and mortar bakery since most bakeries open and close early.

3. Baking is a dream come true job. You literally get to have your cake and eat it too!
