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.
