    I have recently started making cakes from home as well. Some people try to talk you down in price and dont go so low that you are losing money. You need to remind the customers that these are homemade and not premade frozen cakes. I recently saw a customer who bought a cake from sams club cheap but the decorating on it was very sloppy. You get what you pay for. You can always have cake parties and have people sample your cakes, also local restaurants, which has been mentioned above. I have actually started building a portfolio of every cake I've made that is worth putting in my portfolio to show people my artistic ability.
