I really want to practice making large cakes, to improve various techniques.
I have the ingredients, but with no-one to make them for, it just seems a waste of time.
I have no brothers or sisters I could make them for, and neither has my wife.
I have made Birthday cakes for a couple of members of my Karate club, including my instructor.
Does anyone else have the same 'problem' ?

I have no experience in this, but if I was doing this, I would ask a café to stock my cakes on a sale or return basis.

I have tried that with a large chocolate fudge cake, but the boss of the tea room I tried to sell it to said she could get it cheaper from her regular supplier

I think the boss should let her customers decide whose cakes they prefer
Try to undercut your competitors or even give free samples until you have killed off the competition.
