Home Business Idea: Cash In On Birthday Cake Deliveries

Even college kids enjoy birthday cakes. It might seem like an obvious statement, but the truth is most college kids are also looking to break free from the constraints of their parents, and it's not unusual for them to be embarrassed by their parents outward sign of affection.

Parents love to shower their kids with birthday gifts, but it's especially difficult to find ways to make that day even more special, with a homemade birthday cake, when their children are away at college-whether across the state or across the country. On the flip side, friends often want to surprise their friends with birthday cakes, but dorms aren't generally equipped with a full-kitchen.

If you enjoy baking, then you've just walked right into another excellent business idea: deliver homemade birthday cakes to college kids. This business will require very little overhead. You can go to your local grocery store and purchase cake mixes in brands such as Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines and Pillsbury, to name a few.

Or, you can also bake your cakes from scratch. If you don't have any "tried and true" family recipes you want to use, there are plenty of traditional and unique birthday cake recipes available at your fingertips, simply by doing a search on the Internet. Here are a few to get you started: Birthday Express, All Recipes: Birthday Cakes, An array of cakes, Chocolate Birthday Cake Recipes, Cooks.com Recipes and Chocolate Birthday Cakes from Cadbury.

How will you find customers? You'll want to find student directories from local colleges and universities which you can generally do by visiting the school's website. Once you have the student directories, you'll want to start contacting parents about your birthday cake delivery service.

You can do this in many different ways by using your imagination to brainstorm. You might want to try a few to find what works best for you. You can create a brochure with photographic samples of cakes you offer, pricing and ordering information. Always remember to include your contact information, including phone number, email address and URL, if pertinent. You can also send out flyers or postcards advertising your service.

You can also market to college students themselves by placing ads in campus newspapers.
