Hey fellow chefs I had my workout with my personal trainer and he comment on how much the other trainers enjoyed my red velvet hazelnut buttercream cake. He made a comment that I should advertise and have a small sampler at the gym with business cards so if anyone is interested they can contact me to work parties. The better idea he had was to make my own menu with what I can make and have pictures with calorie counts plus prices. This is an idea he had even though I want to have my own business but I guess this is a small step in the right direction.

This is great!

I am sure that calorie awareness will be very important! My recommendation: design and display some calorie calculated (and mouthwatering) menu cards. If you get gym-people to see that you can cater their nutritional needs, I am sure they will order.

As a sampler offer your butternut cake—which hopefully does not contain 2000 calories a piece. Otherwise I would just take orders—no sampling! It is hellish hard to pull off!

And don’t make it ‘cheap’, like most people when they start up: once you have set a price, it’s hard to get off it….

Good luck!
