We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Cambria Ford. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Cambria below.

Cambria, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I went to culinarily school. I attended Kingsborough community college (KBCC), & New York City college of technology (City Tech). This is where I learned the craft. In order to advance my skills I practice new techniques & watch videos to learn & educate myself.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Cambria Ford, owner of CammieCakesNY. It is a home business at the moment. I also work alone, I started CammieCakesNY in 2017. I specialize in cakes and other treats such as cake pops, cupcakes etc. I do all parties, weddings, showers, retirements etc. I also make vegan cakes and treats as well. I am only on Instagram at the moment @cammiecakesny_ .

Being an artist is what inspired me to become a cake decorator. I used to draw and paint & I really loved it. This made me decide to take my art to another canvas, it just happens to be a more tasty one.

I think what sets me apart from others is that I offer a huge variety of treats & not just cakes.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

The best source of new clients for me would be Instagram & word of mouth. Many of my clients & friends refer new clients to me and that is how I offer gain my clientele. I also advertise my business pretty much anywhere I go.

How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?

So I do have a full time job which is what helps me fund my business. I am able to get all of my equipment & pretty much just anything I need.
