This will help decide on how expensive the ingredients need to be. - Try to identify if the customer has any strong views about flavour or any other cake aspect - if your competitors are offering coffee cake and you know the customer hates it you can stay well away from that and offer another flavour. - For your proposal create some mouth watering imagery of a prototype of your cake - maybe on a crystal glass cake stand with a sprig of mint and a scoop of creme fraiche. Good analogy. So many cake lovers out there. Hi Michel,

I’d add some steps to your receipe:

- Find out what the cake is for – wedding/general/celebration. This will help decide on how expensive the ingredients need to be.
- Try to identify if the customer has any strong views about flavour or any other cake aspect – if your competitors are offering coffee cake and you know the customer hates it you can stay well away from that and offer another flavour.
– For your proposal create some mouth watering imagery of a prototype of your cake – maybe on a crystal glass cake stand with a sprig of mint and a scoop of creme fraiche.

Good analogy. So many cake lovers out there.

Baking is Chemistry; where the ingredients and quantity matters. The challenge to responding to an RFP is balancing art and science. Cooking is Art.
