It’s been a long road.
Starting off as a new cake decorator who was trying to get customer orders through a free “website” builder (Blogger) and feeling frustrated that it just wasn’t professional… I wanted to be taken seriously, not just for the quality of my cakes, but I wanted to look like a pro who KNEW what she was doing. I also wanted to earn money with a cake blog while making my cakes. Two birds, one cake.
Now, I’m a DIYer so I assumed I could just get on in and customize my new karascouturecakes.blogspot.com space and make it look fancy like my cake idols.
Nope. And that “.blogspot” part in the middle felt soooooo cheesy to me! And that’s because it was, and still is, covered in cheese. Cheese may be delicious, but not when it’s coating your cake website.
No matter how much I twisted and tweaked and ran around the customization tools I just couldn’t get it right. But it wasn’t my fault - it was the free hosting place.
The key word here is FREE. As you know in cake, if you want a cheap or free cake, you’re gonna get a cheap or free cake. (think cakewrecks…) Same rule applies to most things in life - websites and your online presentation is no different.
