I am very keen to specialise in wedding cakes, and as more often than not I personally transport the cake to the venue and set it up, it made more sense to try and form a business relationship with a local venue.
Thornbury Golf Club has a lively vibe and is conveniently located on the approach to the lovely old market town of Thornbury. The room used for wedding parties is situated on the upper floor of the club house and overlooks the beautifully kept grounds.
Just by luck, the first person I bumped into as I walked through the door was on old school friend named Gary Eaton, who is now the Bar manager at the club.
I had a very informal and friendly meeting with veronica and several other members of staff, and plied them with samples of my orange and poppy seed cake sandwiched with orange buttercream, and also my chocolate truffle cake sandwiched with chocolate ganache buttercream. They appear to have done the trick, and I can now proudly say that I am Thornbury Golf Club's newly recommended Wedding Cake Specialist.
I am going to be returning to the club in a couple of weeks time with a dummy wedding cake for them tyo display on a table that they have permanently set aside to show potential clients. This morning however, i just took along a few dummy cupcakes to show them the quality of my work.
