 Who is The Cakecelerator™ For?
Â
The Cakecelerator™ is designed for bakers and confectioners who are:
Tired of the custom-order hamster wheel
You’re overwhelmed by back-and-forth emails, late nights, and underpricing — and you're done with burnout.

Ready to transition from creative freelancer to strategic business owner
You’ve built a reputation for quality — now you want structure, pricing clarity, and systems to match.

Positioning their brand for premium growth & premium clientele
You want to streamline your offerings, raise your prices, and attract clients who respect your craft and your time.

Prepping for a storefront, team,or larger vision
Whether it’s a commercial kitchen, or a franchise brand — you’re thinking long-term and want expert guidance to scale smart.
Why Now?
Because you’ve waited long enough to build a business that actually works — not just for your clients, but also for you.
The Cakecelerator™ is only accepting a small group of founding members for this round. That means:
-
You’ll receive direct coaching and attention from Michele & Team
-
You’ll help shape the future of this program — and be the first success stories it’s built on
-
You’ll receive bonuses, private support, and access that future rounds won’t include
-
And you’ll start 2026 with vision, clarity, and a strategic plan — not just more hustle
You don’t need to be more ready. You just need to be willing to begin.
We're Not Playing Hard to Get...
We will only accept up to 12 founding members — not because we’re playing hard to get, but because we’re serious about transformation.
The Cakecelerator™ isn’t a mass-market course. It’s a curated, hands-on experience with a small, intentional team — led by Michele.
With a tight-knit cohort and a compact team, we can give you:
-
Direct support when you need it
-
Personalized feedback and guidance
-
Real connection, not copy-paste coaching
This founding round will be the most intimate version we ever offer — and if you're in, you'll even help shape what comes next.

Meet Your Instructor
Michele Bezue
Founder of The Business of Cakes & Confections
I believe business is one of the most powerful ways we live out our God-given purpose.
As a confectioner and creative entrepreneur, I know what it’s like to pour your heart into your craft — and still feel overwhelmed, underpaid, or unsure of what comes next. But I also know what happens when you align your work with clarity, conviction, and faith.
Through building multiple businesses, launching luxury brands, and coaching bakers from burnt out to booked out, I’ve learned that sustainable success starts with stewardship — of your time, your talent, and the vision God gave you.
That’s why I created The Cakecelerator™ — not just as a business accelerator, but as a space for transformation. A place where you can strengthen your strategy, own your worth, and build something beautiful without compromising your values.
If you’ve been praying for a clear next step,
for a coach who honors your ambition and your belief,
for a program that sees your gift as a calling —
You're in the right place.
Let’s build the business you were called to create — together.
