About your kids, people are too quick to judge. Even if it was a one-parent household, mums have a tendency to know their children. It's a beautiful blessing to be able to work from home and watch kids grow.
You are blessed and highly favoured!
Amen amen! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you so much! Yes, we mamas got this 💪🏽
My Son's Girlfriend loves to cook and bake, and it's her birthday 🎂 this month and I have bought her a stand mixer, I told my Son and he said " that she will do a backflip in excitement " 😁from Manchester, England 💐
One thing I want to share with you is wrapping your cakes about five minutes after they come out the oven and freezing them is how I do it. All the moisture gets trapped in the cake and the cling wrap works as a shrink wrap. Don’t wrap them super tight though or it will distort the cake. It’s worked out really well for me.
Yes! Thank you for sharing!
I love how raw you are, very rare nowadays. I am new to your channel, and I watched a couple of your videos. Loving it, and I am very new to this baking thing too. Thanks for the baking soda tip, never thought of that. We traveling with you hunnie, do your thing and put Father God 1st. You will be GREAT!
Welcome!! And thank you so much! Glad to have you on the journey 🥰
@@TheStationBakery it's a pleasure to be here, thank you for the welcome. Looking forward to new uploads, and learning from you.🤗
❤️❤️❤️
I use convection for baking everything. Especially cakes. I turn it down to 325 though. And watch your times because it cooked faster. It is essentially a fan that keeps the hot air circulating around your pans so you get less hot spots. I love it. Give it a try and figure out your oven cause every oven is different . 😊
Oh thank you so much! I’m going to try this week! Thank you for the tips.
Girl yes. I have a Meyer lemon tree. I just wished it produced all year long!! They are so delicious.
Same!!! This year I’m going to try squeezing the juice and freezing to have year round.
@@TheStationBakery you can also make lemon curd with them that is simply amazing. I’ve used it for filling in my cakes or even flavoring my buttercream and it freezes well too.
@@Brandi_the_Baker mmm that sounds delicious!
I am a new baker, watching you from the Island Jamaica 🇯🇲. Buying in bulk would be a waste of money for you hun, because you don't have that much orders (thats needed for that amount)as yet. Notice that I said as yet😂😅 I am believing God for you and your business to grow. Keep working mama!
Hello!! 👋🏽 🇯🇲 Yes I agree! Thank you!
@@TheStationBakery You are welcome 🤗.
My least favorite part about making cake is making the buttercream, especially when I have to make multiple colors, multiple flavors. Next, I absolutely hate filling, stacking and frosting a cake. It has been my biggest struggle to get a smooth cake. I have tried all the tips and tricks. I have practiced and practiced. It just takes me so much time to get it right.
Oh wow! We need to partner because we’re the opposite! Have you seen my quickest way to ice a cake video? That may help or a hands on class so you can get a feel for the right angles and pressures to get it smooth.
I feel your pain 😞
Wow. Those seem so essential to cake making.😅 What is your favorite part?
@@nca4794 decorating
Love it. Watching how other bakers do their things is so much fun!
So glad to hear!
I jumped on the bandwagon and got my subscription for labels. They are so so cute and easy to work with! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
@@lorieschroeder3999 oh yay!! So glad they’re helpful!
I’ve been subbed to you I think for almost 2 years. I miss your videos. So happy to see this video!! Thank you 💜💜💜
There are so many bakers and chefs that don’t even measure anything!!
There are many recipes i don’t measure a dang thing and it turns out great!
Folks are so quick to judge and not try to understand why the person is using a different method.
You keep doing you and all will be well. 💜😊
Wow, thank you for being here for 2 years!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope to produce more for you! Yes, every baker has their way that works for them. That’s all that matters!
I have been feeling so discouraged with my little business and your videos are so helpful
Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes! I love videos like this. Do more if you are able. Also, you do not need to explain yourself or your business. Do you & live your life. ❤
Thank you so much! So kind ❤️
I agree your children is not anyone’s business. I love your channel and the content you bring. I don’t see these trifling comments when it comes to other content creators. Please keep your wonderful content coming.
Its so candid 😊 really happy to see you baking... Really like these vedios too....love how orginal and how open minded you are.😊❤
Thank you! I hope to share more!
I'd rather buy smaller sizes than bulk. I feel it is fresher in smaller size . Love your videos!
I've been binge watching your videos & I love your content
Glad you like them! More coming soon!
I love these videos, keep them coming. I wrap my cakes & freeze them too, it works easier to put together & decorate 😊
For sure! Thank you so much. I hope to have more coming your way soon!
I love this type of videos! Glad to see you back, keep going and continue to be encouraged and blessed! I bake and wrap my cakes after I bake them also!. I love to bake the cakes, it’s the decorating I’m not a fan of … lol it’s so time consuming and people don’t seem to understand that and want something for nothing! Luv u be blessed you and your family!!!
Heyyy!! Thank you so much! It seems I’m the only one who doesn’t enjoy the baking part 😂 thank you for being here with me!
Hey. Its always good to see you. I hope we get more😊
Hey 👋🏽 thank you! I have videos lined up, hoping to get them out soon 🥰
I just found your channel tonight and I found this style of video to be really relaxing. I didn't bake with you but I did get some housework done while you baked. Thanks for the company😊
I love your videos, you are just so real and honest and it feels so comfortable to be 'with you'
Aww thank you!
I like the longer video format a lot. I like to watch cake videos while I'm baking etc, so it's nice. As far as the convection - you can bake cakes with convection, basically it fans the interior of the oven so things bake more evenly - BUT you have to be mindful because you have to lower the temp from the normal bake temp and usually less time as well. But it's really beneficial if you are baking on multiple racks as there is no "hot spot" where you would need to turn/rotate your cake pans. Oh and as far as all the things other people say that you feel you need to answer to - ignore them! If something you're doing bothers them that much then maybe they're just not your audience
Oh thank you for these tips! Super helpful and I’m excited to try it soon.
These people too much!! Do your thang ladybug! God has you!! Bye to the haters!! Keep up the work 😊!!
Thank you so much!! 🙌🏽❤️
I have found your videos inspiring. I love your tips!
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
I like these styles of videos, too. You keep doing you. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them! More coming soon!
I’m not a baker at all, but I recently started my own tie dye business and I love your videos! I’ve learned from you even as someone who runs a completely different type of business! I love this style video!! 😍
I loved this video style. Seeing the true behind the scenes is always fun!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support!
I too absolutely LOVE this style of video. Please Please pleeeeease keep making them. I'm very new to this business and you have been such a blessing. I plan on ordering from you soon 😊❤️
Her kitchen is my dream! 😍😍
Lemons are definitely great for enhancing flavors!
I love this style video. You are great and I have learnt soo so much from you. Keep it coming 👏🏾
I'm so glad! More coming soon!
I love your videos. They are very inspiring.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
I'm the same way. I don't like to prepare with ingredients I don't regularly use. I also don't like to mix the ingredients I use at home with the ingredients I use for business. It feels weird.😂
Yes!! And it’s definitely best to keep them separated
I just wanted to share that I love your videos. This was more raw and transparent. I appreciate that. You mentioned diversifying your income. As a home baker, I feel I benefit from that. Please share when you’re ready. Thank you again ❤
Thank you so much! More coming soon!
Good for you standing up for the way you do things. You have to run things in how it works for you. For some bulk buying is not practical or profitable based like you said on travel and usage rates. Gotta do you!
Omg that counter space is perfect.. did you get that installed
Thank you! It came with our house 🥰
i love this style of video! it's such a great background video while i'm studying, no need to focus on the video bc it's chill and a hang out style, but it helps w the background noise :)) more like this pls!
i could hear you talk for hours haha
I really enjoyed watching your process.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing ❤I really enjoyed watching the video. Looking for more.
Yay! Did you catch my new video I released today?
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Love your chef's island!
@@DraGnFly007 thank you so much!
Your cakes🍰🍰🍰 look so good
Morning! Your videos are helpful and encouraging. I have a Cafė brand oven that has a convection setting....which is fan assisted....correct me if I'm wrong🤔 im still learning that too. My issue is trying to be efficient on my prep time. I seem to forget how much time it takes for all the little things like making chocolate ganache, prepping my fillings which here in Hawaii, chocolate cakes are the hit filled with chocolate ganache, chocolate chip crumbled cookies and fudge brownie crumbles with vanilla bean butter cream frosting. Thank you for sharing...I love your videos!🙋♀️ God bless you and your beautiful family!!
Hi!! So glad! That’s the exact one I have! I’m trying to get used to it still 😆 I’m going to try the convection setting and see how it turns out. Creating systems for efficiency is so important! Those flavors sound soooo delicious!!😋 thank you for sharing!
Thank you for all advice im very appreciative. I make a lot of cookies, so I'm prepping my dough as I speak (9:07am) and im going to try change settings to convection. Our oven also can be changes to Celsius too....its pretty cool but now I got to figure it out!! 🤣😂🙋♀️☕
How did your cookies come out? I tried convection today and it took a bit of adjusting but I think I got it! 🙌🏽
Aloha! I made the cookies and it seemed to cook pretty even. I wondering if I have to use it consistently at that setting to really get an even bake.🤔
@@mypitpack. I think so because the longer I used it, the better it got. I still rotated the pans though.
Hi!! This was great! I started baking cupcakes while watching and listening to you. I would love to have a successful home bakery. I bake just haven’t tried to sell anything.
Your haters could be fellow bakers just trying to throw you off of your successful game.
Keep up your outstanding work girl!! 🙌 ❤
I love your video. I have started to implement me making cake from scratch because I get more in amounts and everyone loves it ❤. Everything does not work for everyone I glad you said it🎉
Thank you! For sure!
Stacking and frosting are my most stressful parts of the process
Wow! What’s your favorite part?
Decorating
Makes sense! Do you have your own style or do you prefer to have inspiration?
@@TheStationBakery I do like to look at cakes for inspiration
I do buy some things in bulk. Sugar, flour, powdered sugar, and butter. The butter I freeze and the flour I keep in my cake fridge. I say bulk but not really. More like multiples. Like my cake flour I buy three or four at a time. That’s what works for me but my mind is not like yours and I go by the food safety standards cause it can sit on my shelf just like it sits in a warehouse or in a store. I love cake mixes too. People are used to box cakes. I doctor them up a bit with better ingredients.
I’ve seen that about freezing butter! I may try it with a small portion and see. I’m nervous just talking about it lol. And for sure, you have to know your audience because people LOVE their boxed mixes.
Love these kind of videos! I was making homemade french toast while u baked 😂
I love your sandals :)
Haha I know what you’re talking about regarding the silicone spatula. I have a few different ones but there’s one that is my favorite! Lol😅. Love the video! 🇰🇾
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so excited to have found you. I have a home based bakery business also that is growing. Looking for tips
That is awesome! Happy to help how I can!
I agree. I don't buy in lage quality. You're doing well. Thanks for sharing
I love your videos. Finding you have been so helpful. May I ask where you get your big containers?
Yes I use cake mix
🙌🏽
I only convection bake now since I have the option. Cakes come out amazing every time.
I recently tried convection baking. Took a little to get the hang of it, but i need more testing to get it perfect! I’ll be uploading that video in a few weeks, I would love to hear your tips and tricks for making it work.
@@TheStationBakery hold on. I’m watching your part two now 🤣🤣
Do you have a favourite time of day to bake? Also, the lining of of the cake pans, with oil then flour...Ima try that the next time I bake a cake. Do you do this for all cakes and other things
Any advice for making silky buttercream like that if I only have a hand mixer?
How much time on the buttercream?
I bought some new daddios cake pans, i believe 6 ich. For some reason it always collapsed in middle and center doesn't cook! Its mooshy. Even with outside top being browned. I cook at 350. Anyone else have this problem?
Yep. Have to lower to 325. I didn’t know at first but that’s the brands recommendation!
Who's watching your kids is no one's business, like seriously. You must know what you are doing, you seem responsible. Wow, there is always that one person. Let's lift her up "woman to woman" as a small business owner.
I 💯 agree.
Always. Thank you so much!
Always. Thank you!
@@TheStationBakery You are welcome!
I think it's just me I have to wipe all of my groceries down "sanitize" I've been doing this even years before Corona
Also with all the hair you need a hair net "I learned the hard way"
Stacking and frosting are mu most stressful parts of the process
So interesting! Is there anything specific you don’t like about the process?
I'm doing better with baking the cakes slower with a wilton strip so I'm not having to trim cake. My icing is not always the easiest to make smooth...I am having to use the old school paper towel method so I am not able to achieve the crispy edges as they say
Oh do you use an American buttercream? Have you tried cooling the cake then cutting the edges off so they’re sharp?
@@TheStationBakery no never used American Butter Cream I actually use a crisco based recipe I was given years ago
Tell them it none thier business. Just watch the video.
I don't like making the icing
Oh wow! Is it just the process? Thank you for sharing!
Where did you get the containers you were pouring the dry ingredients in?
And the scale?
Containers from Amazon. And the scale from Walmart. Can’t find the exact scale any more though.
Definitely the measuring is my least favorite part and prepping
Baking is one of me least favorite parts. I would say using a scale makes it quicker and easier; I do recall you saying it's not good you. Also, the cleanup, please get somebody else to do it 😂.
😂 right!!
Stick to the long videos. We just watching while baking anyway.
I ordered your cake recipe bundle on 5/4/24, how do I figure out how to make a 8in two layer cake with the recipes in the bundle? I didn’t realize that the bundle didn’t come with any frosting recipes. I want to purchase the “Dream Cream 4 pack bundle. Does your Dream Cream 4 pack come with measurements for frosting cakes and cupcake?
Hi! Thank you for purchasing! One batch per 8” pan. So for 2 8” cakes double the recipe.
Half the recipe for a two layer 8” cake.
I will work on updating both recipes with the proper measurements. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@TheStationBakery thank so so much for your quick reply!!!! Your baking looks Awesome, I can’t wait to try your recipes!!
@@2LuvMe55 for sure! Thank you so much! I would love to hear your thoughts once you try it!
@@TheStationBakery I will definitely let you know. 😊
