Comment by Jessica Hishman on October 12, 2011 at 7:21pm: Thanks! I do have an internship with Sweet Sweet Sue's in Staten Island but I am moving back to Rochester, NY where there are very few (maybe two) custom cake places so I am hoping to start up there sometime.

Comment by JoAnn Ramos on October 12, 2011 at 7:15pm: Welcome CK, best of luck!

Comment by Jo Ann Neves on October 10, 2011 at 3:44pm: Hi CK, welcome to the site and welcome to Staten Island. Wish you all the best with the shop.

Comment by Ck King on September 28, 2011 at 12:16am: Hello Fellow Islanders!

My name is Ck; I am owner/baker of a Cupcakery ".com" Company: The Cavity Shoppe "Where the fillings are Sweet" and we are planning on opening a new location here on the Island. Staten Island doesn't have NOT one Specialty Cupcakery from tip to tip and we are keeping fingers crossed that we become the first one!

We will be looking for interns as well as paid workers once we open up our shop.

To Jessica:

My advise to you is to just do a bunch of decorated cakes and take pictures. Even do cake dummies and create a website and utilize all the FREE Social networking that you can to help pass along the word.

It starts slow as anything else but within time you will witness a pick up in orders &/or recommendations. You have to be your biggest fan/customer! You must promote yourself as you've never before. You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain! Good Luck!!! ~Ck

Comment by JoAnn Ramos on September 19, 2011 at 9:07am: I dont know of anyone hiring, but if you are good with buttercream or a whipped cream (meaning you can ice a cake smooth, make a rose and do a border) you can apply for a cake decorator position in a grocery store. You can look on the store websites to see if they are hiring for the position.

Comment by Bonnie DeVito on September 15, 2011 at 6:30pm: Hi...my name is Bonnie and I am new to the site. Just wanted to say I looked through some of your pictures and you all do such beautiful work! I too am from Staten Island and I love to decorate cakes. I took the 3 Wilton courses about 6 years ago at Michael's and pretty much decorate cakes for fun, but I would love to work for someone. Does anyone know of anyone that would be hiring? I am a fast learner and know pretty much all of the basics (working with fondant and Butter Cream). Thanks so much. I hope to learn a lot.

Comment by JoAnn Ramos on August 8, 2011 at 9:05am: Hi Jessica, Welcome to the group. I am also from Staten Island. I am an instructor at A.C. Moore in East Brunswick, NJ and I also teach privately.

A.C. Moore and Michaels in Staten Island Both have Courses, its a way to meet new friends and you have something in common with them. I noticed from my classes that many friendships begin there and some continue to take classes together. If you sign up for a September course between August 21 and August 27th, the cost of the class will be $10.00 (plus cost of supplies)
