So, call me a weirdo but I've been binging your home bakery series. I love to listen to you talk about how many hobbies you've had and micro skills you've picked up and how they've helped you in this, because I'm very similar. A few months back I started as a pastry chef after having a love of baking, so I guess I just wanted to say please don't stop making these. You're awesome at what you do and you've inspired me to start small with my own business, thank you ✨

Wow thank you Zoe. Seriously though someone told me like 7 years ago that all those little skills amount to a really unique skill set that you’ll be surprised by what you can accomplish with them. Really changed how I viewed my hobbies and interests. Excited to share how my business is growing with you!! Big things happening 💗

Started my home bakery a few months ago and you're definitely an inspo to me, thanks for sharing your process and letting us see you work your magic 💖

Joe didn’t kill love! She went off and started a home bake

As a kid I'd put jam on old cornbread and pop it in the microwave... it was delicious. It's what I imagine the corn sponge with raspberry compote would taste like and I'm here for it!

The pretzels! 😂😂😂 I love this channel!

this is my comfort video

I feel relaxed watching cake decorating.

THESE CAKES WERE DELICIOUS

It’s actually pretty easy to make your own tall cake boxes. As long as the cake can fit in the box and it has a detachable lid, you can make it as tall as you want. Also, your flavors seem interesting. P

My girrrrrllllll, I enjoyed your video more than I should have (; Does that mean we are friends now? lol

First of all, just found your channel and love it! I have to make a lot of gluten free and dairy free desserts due to family allergies and your channel is so relatable and fun to watch! I make cakes and cookies right now as sort of a side hustle and I love your cake box idea! If you don’t mind me asking, what platform do you use to sell them/advertise flavors for that week? I really only use word of mouth for business now, but want a more widespread and professional way of getting business! Thanks!

Hi Brooke that’s so cool! I use Instagram! I’ve been using a shopify website now but it took me two years to get up to really needing it to keep things organized. Good luck!

YOUR BEHAVIOR IS….just like mine. 😂

You remind me so much of my daughter! Your so shabby Chic! 💗

I love how you start off the video slipping onto the couch 🤣🤣🤣

Love your channel! I just started my home bakery…Mostly cookies but getting into cakes. Question: if you frost while the cake is frozen does the icing change as the cake thaws?

@LaurenMcGowan

2 жыл бұрын

That’s a great question. There’s really no change to the texture or taste of the foregoing. Sometimes if it’s very humid and you don’t mix your food colouring into your icing throughly than the colour can bleed. Usually only happens with dark colours!

#inspiration 💗

How do you go about know what to change? I’m new to baking and have people wanting sliced but I have no clue what to charge them. 😊

Thanks for sharing! Lovely cakes. Can you show us how to make a flour blend for cakes?

Hi I love your channel! I was salivating while watching you taste test your cakes. How do you come up with your cake ideas? Especially the cornbread and raspberry. Also I bake by sheet pans because I can't decorate at all. Do you think they can sell as well.

@LaurenMcGowan

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you! I read a lot of cookbooks (especially the flavour bible!), follow a “if it grows together it goes together” philosophy, and just try stuff out. I think your cakes could definitely sell but decorated cakes do sell for higher amounts. You would want to go for a higher quantity (which isn’t too hard when you’re not spending hours decorating)

Heyy! I am so much into bakery business but one thing bothers me alot. Is the income worth it from ur experience?

@LaurenMcGowan

Hi! Really depends on what you’re selling. Breads and cookies are on the lower end. Cakes and pastries have higher margins. It’s become really lucrative through social media.

I love watching your videos, unfortunately I live in N.Z so can't get any, but they look good. I feel using gloves can be dirtier and more unhygienic then just washing hands as you don't feel anything on a glove and are more likely to cross contaminate and wash your hands less
