Do you do wedding cakes? If you do you would want to put your cards anywhere the brides could be shopping. I used to work in a department store that did bridal registries. We would have business cards from photographers, florists, limo service, etc. that we would include in our bridal information. We would just ask that they would hand out our flyer when they had brides come into their businesses. It would be great to try to network with some reputable businesses such as these if you do do wedding cakes.

Kids parties. Doesn't even have to be birthdays. You may have to donate the first few, but what about a cake for the party for the soccer team, dance class, end of year at school?

Sure, why not?

Also, when visiting businesses, you might want to bake some cupcakes in your most popular cake flavor/icing flavor and bring a couple along with your cards. I think people are more apt to recommend something they know.

Best of luck!
