I am new to this forum and I would love to hear your ideas on my idea for a business. I got into decorating cakes after watching the cake shows (lol, yeah I know!). Although I like doing it, there is no real need for it in my area (No one wants to pay the price for a custom cake). So, my other thought was, how about a "one bite fits all" approach to a dessert shop.


My intent is to offer bite sized or miniature desserts allowing people to choose more than one thing and not feel guilty or deprived.

I also wanted to add to this - Candy & dessert Buffets for weddings & events (kind of as a side thing along with the mini desserts).


I am open to suggestions, criticism, etc.

Thank you so much!

Pretty good idea. I love samplers. I would enjoy eating a bit of everything! It would be a bit more labor-intensive but I definitely think it could work.

Thank you. I'm working on the business plan now. Hoping to make it a reality by the end of the year. Laughing

I like the idea. I travel constantly and I have come across several specialty dessert shops that stay packed nd o ferry well. They are upscale and a little pricey, but the crowds still flock to them.

Dessert shops that are nice and cozy are very popular nowadays. If you can make delicious products, people will surely come back for more :)

Thank you! I'm glad to see that my idea is something that could be well received. I am in an area that does not offer anything like this, so my hope is that it will take off and I can grow continually over the next few years. 

I do intend for the boutique to be more upscale as well. I would like to be known as the "go to" dessert shop!

Thanks again!
