Cupcakery and Italian food?

Question

im thinking about opening a cupcakery on one side of the building, and italian takout out on the other side?? is this a good idea?

or should i stick to one or the other?

please help. anyone?

Answer 1

As long as you feel that you can properly run both sides of the business, I say go for it. If you think you can do it, you probably can. I really like the idea of a cupcakery. Cupcakery would be a cool name.

Answer 2

i think that considering the percentage of failure in most businesses, i think you should stick to one.

and preferable an italian restaurant. there are a lot of bakeries and pastry shops in this country, soyou should go for italian. and not just normal everyday italian food like..pasta and pizza. maybe something a bit less oily (less fattening) and healthy? make it seem like an expensive restaurant

Answer 3

It's an interesting mix. Why don't you just open an italian restaurant but offer special cup cakes as desserts. Like a tiramisu cupcake. Good luck!

Answer 4

Why not make really unique cupcakes that use Italian ingredients in addition to opening an Italian takeout? Ingredients like ricotta, sultanas, grappa, semolina to make standout desserts!

Answer 5

where?? that would be hard.

Answer 6

Why not try it out and see what happens.  People love variety.  Good luck.

Answer 7

Cupcakery ?  Is that a word?  I'm gonna use it every day.

Answer 8

sounds good to me just dont do it in southwest florida, everything goes under in a year down here, and that sounds like a good idea, hope it owrks for youif you need a good cook let me know.

Answer 9

i think that is a very go idea. i would totally go to both of those cuz it two of my favorite things

Answer 10

that's a great idea, but honestly I tihnk you should stick to one and make it bigger, because it will attract more people. Better to have one theme and make it grand than two different things altogether.

Answer 11

Stick with one. You can focus your attention and make the one you choose fantastic. I like the idea of a cupcake shop. You could specialize in selling many cupcakes that are stacked together to look like big cakes. Market as a cake that doesn't have to be cut. You could do weddings, birthdays, all special occasions. Great business idea. Italian restaurants are great, but there's always so much competition from the leading franchises already. Good luck in your venture!

Answer 12

Since I am not sure what your other idea is I know that people love muffins and stuff in an italian store a speciallity store with dinner ready to heat and eat under glass on a bed of lettuce.  Sounds real nice.

Answer 13

I would stick to one or the other at first. I would get really good at the one that I chose, and then branch out. If you have too many "irons on the fire" none may work out.

Good Luck!
