How to Manifest for your Cake Business
Manifesting Your Cake Business Dreams: My Journey with the Law of Attraction
One thing you probably don't know about me is I am a HUGE….let me repeat HUGE HUGE HUGE studier of the Law of Attracting and Manifesting. Or the new term that is going around nowadays, Law of Assumption. It’s all the same thing to be honest.
I'm not just talking about casual interest here. I'll literally binge on Mindset YouTube Videos day in and out. I've watched hundreds of videos, read countless books, and applied these principles religiously to my life and business.
It's just something about knowing I have the power to create my own reality, making it happen, see where I can tweak my process, how I can allow my dreams to manifest right before my eyes. That feeling of empowerment—knowing that I'm not just drifting through life but actively co-creating my experiences—is absolutely intoxicating!
My Cake Business Manifestations
Inside my cake business, I manifested some HUGE things…and it really wasn't that hard. When I say huge, I mean life-changing opportunities that completely transformed my business trajectory.
For instance, I manifested:
$35,000 to attend Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts and get my cake business off the ground.
Free Photoshoot of me and my cakes from a professional photographer.
My first cake studio with the exact layout I envisioned.
My Food Network/Cooking Channel Premier that put my cakes in front of millions.
Honestly, It wasn't that hard to manifest those HUGE experiences. I set the intention, took inspired action (which I didn't know was taking action at all in most cases), and they just plopped in my lap like ripe fruit falling from a tree.
Little effort! That's the crazy part that still amazes me. The biggest breakthroughs came with seemingly little struggle on my part. It was more about alignment than force.
When I find myself trying really hard to manifest in my cake business, I know I'm deeply attached to the outcome and I have to make it easy for me. That straining feeling is always a signal that I'm pushing against the flow rather than moving with it.
I've refined my manifesting practice over the years through trial and error, celebration and frustration. The process doesn't always look perfect, but the results have been undeniable in my business.
5 Powerful Manifesting Strategies for Cake Business Owners
So in this post, I wanted to give you some strategies that have helped me manifest my cake desires that I know will work for you too. These aren't just theoretical concepts—they're battle-tested approaches that brought real results to my cake business.
1. SET YOUR INTENTION, BE CLEAR, AND LET IT GO
Intend on EXACTLY what you want to experience in your cake business and get clear on exactly what you want. The more specific, the better! Don't just say "I want more customers"—specify how many customers per month, what kind of orders, what price point, and how these clients make you feel.
Then let go.
Letting go is probably the hardest step in manifesting PERIOD. It can be so stressful, frustrating, and make you feel hopeless, especially when you're passionate about your cake business and eager to see results. But letting go works when I'm not even attached to the outcome.
I think, "I would LOVE that!" then I continue on with my life and not let it consume my mind. It's like planting a seed and then allowing nature to take its course rather than digging it up every day to see if it's growing.
This doesn't mean you don't care—it means you trust the process enough to release the white-knuckle grip of control. There's incredible power in this surrender.

2. CREATE A VISION BOARD
I set the intention to appear on the Food Network Channel back in 2011 right when I got laid off from my job. I put the Food Network Logo on my first vision board and looked at it from time to time. I didn't obsess over it, but I allowed that image to sink into my subconscious.
Same thing with my first cake studio. I knew EXACTLY what cake studio I wanted and I placed the exact floor layout on my vision board. When I walked into what would become my studio months later, I experienced the strangest déjà vu because it matched my vision so perfectly!
Get images of what you want for your cake business and place those images around your house where you will see them everyday. This could include:
Photos of the style of cakes you want to be known for
Magazine clippings of cake studios you admire
Income goals written in bold, beautiful lettering
Awards or recognition you wish to receive
Publications you want to be featured in
The visual reminder serves as a constant, gentle nudge to your subconscious that these experiences are already on their way to you.
3. NOT NEED IT TO HAPPEN
This is all about letting go to the outcome. You have to be unattached to wanting it to happen. When you need something, you are creating a lack energy around not having it. Therefore, creating more lack in your life around that particular area.
Think about it—when you're desperate for a particular client or order, can you feel how that energy pushes them away? It's like dating someone who's too eager; there's something about that neediness that creates distance rather than connection.
Instead, cultivate a sense of peaceful confidence. Your cake business will thrive whether this particular desire manifests or not. You're creating from a place of abundance rather than scarcity.

4. KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN. MAKE UP YOUR MIND IT'S A DONE DEAL
This is where you need to trust that your desire is yours and it will come to you. No questions asked. Doubt cannot exist in your mind around what you want.
Trust that a higher source is working with you and will help you get what you really desire. This isn't about blind faith—it's about recognizing that you're co-creating with forces larger than yourself.
I remember walking around my apartment before I had my cake studio, imagining clients walking into my future space, admiring my display cakes, sitting down for consultations. I lived in that reality emotionally before it physically manifested.
When doubt creeps in (and it will!), gently redirect your thoughts. Say "thank you" for your desire as if it's already happened. Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations and pulls your desires to you like a powerful magnet.
5. TAKE INSPIRED ACTION
When I booked a free photoshoot of me and my cakes, I met the photographer at a networking event for wedding professionals. I thought it was a good idea to go, and it was kinda far from my house but I went along with a friend anyways to get out the house. It wasn't calculated—it just felt right.
At the event, I met the photographer and she told me she wanted to shoot me for free! I never mentioned I wanted a photoshoot for my cakes. It was that easy. The universe conspired to connect us at the perfect moment.
Prior to attending the event, I was looking for a way to feel good (I just broke up with my long term boyfriend then) to help myself be in a better energy state before meeting a ton of new people. That high-vibe energy likely played a role in attracting this opportunity effortlessly.
Whatever your next step is to take action, let that step guide you and not force it. Don't second guess it. This isn't about making detailed five-year plans—it's about following the breadcrumbs of inspiration and excitement.
Ask yourself: "What feels good right now? What small step feels exciting?" Then take that step, even if you can't see how it connects to your bigger vision yet.
