Any suggestions for getting started selling your cakes?

Tweet

I was reminded earlier today how hard it is to get started selling the cakes we work so hard on but love doing. I have sold a few cakes but not many and the method I used was to make flyers and hand them out at the local Flea Market where I am a vendor (some markets don't allow customers to hand out flyers so be sure to check with the office before doing so). I also made some cakes and raffled them off at the market, which did generate a couple of sales. I saw a bulletin board for business cards at a local restaurant today and I am going to make some cards to take up there. Does anyone else have more, possibly better, suggestions for all us cake decorating entrepeneurs out here?
