Do you enjoy enjoy baking and decorating homemade cakes? You can do it professionally, whether full-time or part-time. How far you want to go in this field depends on your location, experience and education.
Experience
It may be possible to find a cake decorating job without much experience. You may be given simple tasks, such as icing a cake, while you learn more advanced skills on the job. Personal experience may be enough for some jobs. Depending on your skill level, it may be enough to start above entry level.
Education
Many cake decorator jobs will not require you to have any formal education, but higher level and more prestigious positions will require a degree from a pastry school.
Bakeries
The most obvious place to look for a cake decorating job is in a bakery, catering hall, or any other place that sells whole cakes. Grocery store bakeries are a good place to find an entry-level position.
Teaching
If you have a good amount of experience as a cake decorator, you may want to teach these skills to others. Many stores that sell cake decorating products offer classes. You may be able to work for the store itself or as a freelancer teaching the classes.
Starting Your Own Business
Starting your own business is another option. A business can be a simple operation that you run part time out of your home (check laws in your area about selling food), or as elaborate as opening your own bakery.
