• Hi, I'm Alene Paulk of Zuckerie Confections, cake artist, instructor, and brand strategist. I've competed on Discovery Plus, Food Network, and other platforms, but beyond the cameras, I help bakers turn their talent into premium unforgettable brands.
• What will attendees learn from this session?
• My session elevating your brand in the baking industry, pivoting and positioning into the luxury market is for everyone. Whether you're an established baker or just starting out, this class is all about helping you refine your brand and attract high-end clients who truly value your work. More specifically, the session is for pros who are ready to shift out of hustle mode and into a more strategic high value space. We'll talk pricing, client experience, packaging your work as a luxury offering, and how to build a brand that stands out this year and beyond.
• How did you come to work in the industry or your current role?
• I got my start like a lot of us making cakes at home, saying yes to everything and learning as I went. Over time, I realized that talent alone isn't enough. It takes intentional branding, strategic pivots, and knowing your value to grow a sustainable, profitable business, especially in this ever evolving industry.
