How She Reinvented Herself as a Cake Artist in Just 2 Months 🎂✨

I recently had a call with one of my students, Shenaz from Ghana and her story is an inspiring one - In just two months, she went from feeling scattered and unsure about her cake business to becoming a Pro in Buttercream floral art.

She has even started a business selling Buttercream Floral Cakes - Shens Floral Bakes

The best part? She’s achieved it all while working just one day a week.

1. Fixing a Day and Time That Works for Her
The first change Shenaz made was simple but transformative: she set a specific day and time each week to dedicate solely to her cake business. This meant no distractions, no other commitments—just pure focus on practicing buttercream flowers and refining her business strategy.

By having a consistent schedule, Shenaz was able to make real progress without feeling overwhelmed. She didn’t need to work every day—just that one dedicated day was enough to see massive results.

2. Cutting Out the Overwhelm
One of the biggest challenges for many cake artists (and creatives in general) is feeling like there’s so much to do, it’s hard to know where to start. This student took a step back and simplified the process. She stopped trying to learn every technique at once and focused solely on a few selected flowers every week.

By honing in on one area, Shenaz was able to build real mastery quickly—and in a way that felt enjoyable, not overwhelming.

3. Feedback from Her Mentor (That’s Me!)
Every week, after practicing her buttercream floral techniques, she would send me photos of her work. Together, we would review what she did well and what she could improve on for the next week.

Having that consistent feedback loop helped her make adjustments, fine-tune her techniques, and build confidence week by week.

In just two months, she went from feeling stuck to launching her business selling beautiful Floral Cakes.

Shenaz's story is proof that with focus, structure, and the right support, you can achieve incredible results in your cake business without feeling overwhelmed or overworked.

I love sharing such stories, shows the incredible transformation thats possible in just couple of months. Hope you are feeling inspired :)

My best wishes,
