Got Questions? I've Got Answers!
Let be start by saying, "you are absolutely right."
However, do you have hours of extra time to:
- Watch videos, research information on websites to find out what supplies are essential to starting out decorating cookies.
- To trying to figure out the best cookie and icing recipes. Remember, you will probably have to make a batch with each recipe and taste test it.
- Research how to start a small, home-based cookie decorating business
If you are like me, you just don't have extra time in your busy schedule. When you purchase the Cookie Academy, you get step-by-step every step of the way from someone with a PROVEN track record of starting a successful, home-based cookie business.
Let me ask you, how much of the weight of your "plate" is financial worry? Wouldn't it be worth the time commitment in order to earn some extra income as a result.
If you sold just 6 dozen cookies at $3 each, you would more than pay for the course!
Well, have you seen all the memes going around how much dessert and alcohol consumption is on the rise during the pandemic? One thing that never goes out of style is our collective love for sugary treats, especially when we are stressed out.
Absolutely!
For our international customers, I have added metric versions of the recipes this year.
Also, there is helpful information on home-based food businesses for additional countries (UK, Canada, Australia).
Plus, the expense log has a handy vehicle mileage log so you can track you business miles to deduct on your taxes! Links are provided for the vehicle expense allowances for the UK, and Australia!
As of now, the recipes and lessons are all in English.
The original version of this course did not include a business section. However, I realized that many people were interested in how I started my own cookie decorating business, so for this year I added a new module covering it!
In the business section, you get information on all the important topics you need to know regarding starting a home-based cookie business, including:
- Cottage Food Laws
- Accounting/Bookkeeping
- Pricing
- Marketing
- Packaging Your Cookies
The accounting and pricing section have material prepared by my husband, who is a CPA that has done my bookkeeping.
He has included several tools to help you on your journey to start a business. These tools include a:
- Sales Log
- Expense Log
- Vehicle Mileage Log
- Cookie Cost Calculator
I am committed to your success!
After purchase, you will be invited to enroll in the Cookie Academy Facebook group. I will set up a once weekly meeting for the first 3 weeks to go live on Facebook to answer any questions.
As always, you can message me, or leave a message in the Facebook group and I can answer any questions you have!
