Sell Like a Cake Rock Star

Here’s the thing. It’s official. Apparently, we suck at sales.

The 2021 GREAT BRITISH CAKE SURVEY found that UK Cake Businesses were least confident in the areas of sales & pricing.

Now, that’s just not right. Not if we want to be paid what we’re worth. So, we decided something should be done.

This is your personal invitation to serious sales confidence!

The day will include practical, non-cringey, transformational training to help you up your sales game, hosted by Christine Jensen.

Is this for me?

This is a place where you get to be you.

Our cake business gatherings are not for fake folk. Feel free to leave your Instagram self behind. We do real. Real is better than fake.

We’re a cake tribe that support and encourage each other. 

If you enjoy seeing other cakers fail, we’re not for you. We’re don’t just talk about community over competition, we actually live it out. It’s healthier.

Our business content is gold. 

It’s also pretty down to earth. Stuff has to genuinely work in real life before we come close to sharing it. You’ll gain properly practical approaches, techniques, ways of thinking. Cake business savvy you can put to work immediately to benefit you, your profits, and your cake business for the long haul.

We’re richer together. 

People are amazing. Yes. You. You bring a lot to the table. You make life richer.

It’s why we value gathering, and being real. There’s nothing like meeting other hard working cake makers who understand the juggle. Yes it might take a bit of bravery, and, you might meet your new best cake-friend! Face-to-face helps reduce the isolation and stress of running our own businesses. We’re genuinely happier together

Meet your Host

The day will be hosted by Christine Jensen, co-founder of The Cake Professionals, Peboryon and Black Box Cake. You might have seen her and her husband Phil’s work on Channel 4’s Extreme Cake Makers, or Food Network, BBC1, or her TEDx talk.
