There are several business opportunities which an aspiring entrepreneur could start on a small scale. Businesses whose skills you can pick- up easily from books or online. One of such business is cupcake business.

The truth is that, if you are a baker or even a caterer, it becomes easier for you to venture into cupcake business. This is so because the same ingredients and processes that are used in making the conventional large cakes are the same ingredients and processes that are used in making cupcakes except for the size difference. The basic ingredient that is used in cupcake making is flour, butter, sugar, eggs, frosting and cake decorations.

Beyond every reasonable doubt, a cupcake business is indeed a profitable business because you can operate the business with your family members from your kitchen thereby cutting operational costs to the barest minimum. 

This is one business that wouldn’t take much of your time if you have places where you supply cupcakes. Places such as schools, birthday parties and wedding ceremonies and more. Be sure that you are creative and your packaging is attractive and you will not have to struggle much to make headway with the business.

All that you would have to spend money on is cake baking ingredients and relevant supplies. As a matter of fact, you can start by supplying your cupcakes to small shops around you or even open a small shop / kiosk in front of your house and start retailing your cupcakes.
