Client expectations vs. reality
Clients find elaborate cake designs on Pinterest without realizing the skill level, time, and cost involved. You need organized references of achievable designs to guide consultations.
Techniques seen but not saved
You watch a mesmerizing fondant technique on TikTok, think "I should try that," and never find the video again when you want to practice.
Seasonal and trend research is scattered
Wedding cake trends on Pinterest, technique tutorials on YouTube, and design trends on TikTok — checking three platforms takes time you don't have.
