Hi,

I'm Chef Taylor owner of Taylor-Made Kakes! Taylor-Made Kakes was started with a little curiosity, a spark of passion, and a lot of spunk. I began making cakes and confectionery desserts for friends and family nearly 10 years ago as a hobby and its has quickly turned into a thriving business. Over the years I have researched and watched those who were in the Pastry Arts field to discover how I can improve on my natural talent for cake design. Following getting my bachelors degree in Communication, I decided to take a big leap and apply to The International Culinary Center in California(ICC). I was accepted to the Professional Pastry Arts Chef Program and beyond grateful to attend such a prestigious institute where I could learn from some of the best in the business. Upon graduation from ICC, I quickly began to work on building my Taylor-Made Kakes website.

Why IFund Women, you may ask? Well after having an amazing turn around with my website sales i have decided to expand to a physical bakery to keep up with the demand. I am selling my decadent cupcake jars to raise funds to help make this dream a reality.

I will be specializing in my gourmet cupcake jars, cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and other pastries. Attending the ICC has allowed me to hone my skills and greatly expand my baking ability and culinary knowledge to include every aspect of the Pastry spectrum. I aim to to bring delicious and great tasting treats to the Augusta, GA area and one day worldwide.

I am crowdfunding so I can purchase a store-front, fill it with bakery supplies and equipment, order ingredients in bulk, and renovating the space. The funds raised here will allow me to make the down payment on my dream location.

Thanks so much and I appreciate everyone's support of me on this journey!

Chef Taylor

Each 8 oz Jar contains our delicious moist cake and our decadent icing between each layer. Our dessert jars last 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Risks and challenges

The risks and challenges I face to get the bakery up and running are raising enough money to buy products at a bulk rate to keep cost as low as possible and getting a loan from the bank to pay for the build-out costs. However, raising money with this campaign will help me prove proof of concept to the lender.

The funds raised from the campaign will go towards the equipment needed to keep the bakery up and running (Mixers, Ovens, Tables, Coolers and much more).

Some of the big-ticket items needed will be:

Fondant Sheeter $5,500

Convection Ovens $5,000

Vent Hood $20,000

Edible Image Printers $800

Reach In Cooler $3,500

Roll-In Cooler $6,800 ,12 Quart Mixer $5000, 20 Quart Mixer $5,500

Racks $2,000, Work Tables $3,000, Work Table Shelves $2,300

Building Rent $3000
