All ingredients and baking tools are included in this hands on workshop.
Treat Photography

An instructional course on how to design a brochure hand out to leave with potential clients or to send them electronically will follow. You will also learn how to securely package your treats for damage-free shipping.
Customer Growth
Wholesale customers are everywhere around you and David Shovlin will motivate you to step out of your comfort zone to contact them and teach you how to overcome objections in order to receive their business. A balancing workflow will also be taught in order to keep up with supply and demand of baking and decorating treats as your business grows.
