    Good for you Lily! "You have to pay yourself, and you have to pay the bills." There's nothing crass about running a proper business!

    ... I've seen you from time to time. As an amateur baker, all I can say is: "You've gone a good way, in every respect." All the best for the next years... from Germany

    Congratulations for your small business !!! I could see you are a successful entrepreneur!!! Whatever business request so many sacrifices. Have you already tasted what we call brioche in France and Baba au rhum. It's really delicious!! This doughs are very close to the bread except there's some butter on the brioche and Baba. In plus the baba is wet with a sirop made with Rom, (Rhum), sugar and water.

    When you're filming yourself, remember to have a light source on you so the cam is able to focus better. Cam catches light that your body reflects...
    Thank you, again for your insights! Greetings from Serbia!

    So many people and so many channels jumped on the "sourdough" bandwagon over the past few years. And the majority of them have all dropped off. To them, it seems it was just another fad. To you, it is a life. Your life, to be exact. Your bakery is your culture in the jar. Thanks for cracking the lid, and sharing🙂

    Hi Lucy, can you give some advice on doing a stage in a bakery - how to go about getting the opportunity? I'm British living in Portugal but interested in doing a stage in a UK bakery (or a number of them) :)

    If you’re only planning on selling at the Farmer’s Market. How would you suggest going about planning a baking/prep schedule where you can maximize goods produced and still have a relatively fresh product? Our farmers market opens at 7:30 am which means realistically I’d need pretty much everything baked the day before. Thanks for any assistance.

    • @LilysLoaf
      @LilysLoaf  2 месяца назад

      hey! that's a great question - I'd recommend having a balance of long life products (aka granola/ cookies/ jams etc) that you can prepare a few days in advance and package up. In terms of the bake, I'd suggest preparing all of your dough 2 days before the market and then maybe baking throughout the night (before the market) depending on your oven size etc; that way your goods will be fresh still and you will have a balance of products without overwhelming your schedule! hope this helps!

  • @gw7372

    That dough that you are dumping while speaking about number 4/5 what is it? Sourdough?😮

    Hi Lily, very happy to come across your channel just what I need now! Starting my first ever farmers market this coming week.
    A question, what is the method in pricing your items? Like how do you base the profit based upon? If not any direction where to look? Many thanks!

    • @LilysLoaf
      @LilysLoaf  8 месяцев назад +1

      hey Tomm, my pleasure! Best of luck to you - I'm not sure where you are based but I work off keeping 20-25% as my cost price of ingredients, and work out my retail prices (multiplying cost price by 4/5). I have a few other strategies from other bakers/ business owners based in other countries in my online course which might be helpful to you: 033888-2.myshopify.com/products/how-to-build-a-micro-bakery-business
