In this video, I’m sharing with you 5 things you should know about owning a brick and mort bakery. When I started my baking business from home 12 years ago, I wish someone told me these 5 things I'm sharing with you because I would’ve done things a lot differently.

I recall years ago being in the kitchen with an older russian woman while baking and I kept saying, "i do that! I use that! That's the ingredients I use....."
She turned and looked at me and said, "you think you're the only one who bakes like this?"
She had about 40 yrs on me and I never forgot that. There are thousands of bakers out there and though we love to pretend "we have our own secret recipes" I guarantee you, they are also using alot of the same ingredients, measurements..
Lastly a cookbook author once told me, "don't ever be stingy with your recipes. Don't be that lady that no one wants to talk to because you think everyone is going to screw you over."
Ouch
Thank you so so much! You are so appreciated ❤
Nice advice. Thanks for the info
Well done
As a home business, how did you decide to price items, bulk orders or negotiate with local businesses to provide the baked goods for their location? Starting out and would love to understand how to generate customers and grow. Thank you!
I never did bulk or negotiated with local business because that's basically wholesale. I have an entire video on why I hate wholesale especially for small business owners/home bakers but if you're just starting out the biggest thing I would recommend is leveraging your network and then leveraging your friends, familiy, co-workers, church, PTA networks. The biggest thing is getting your products and brand in front of potential customers. I would also get involved in community events, pop-ups, farmers markets, etc.
Janelle, love your videos! Thank you it very helpful for me
Glad you find them helpful!
Thank you for sharing. Your videos are always very informative and helpful.
Glad to help! Thanks for being here!
Thank you for your video I really appreciate this. I will be watching your other videos.
Glad it served you! I'd love to hear what else you have questions on and how I can serve you!
Love it thank you 🫶🏼
Would love the backstory on how you got started in 18 months😊
Hey there! Have you seen it!? ruclips.net/video/BeG9AUr8eE8/видео.html Let me know what you think!
It's always been my dream to own a bakery, a dream that apparently was shared by my dad's family
They owned a bakery until it burned down, so I think it would be almost a continuation of my family
Totally!
Loved the leadership part!
Facts! I LOVE talking about leadership
I'm interested in how you started
Hi Janelle, it has been a while since I have seen you. You look amazing and thank you so much for this information. I will use every bit of it in my business.🥰
Awww thank you for the love! I'm so glad you found me and I hope the information you find is helpful!
@@TheCakeMamas Yes it is, and will be in the future. I just got started literally. Some days just trying to figure it all out is a lot. So thanks again for all your help.🥰
How do you stay in shape when you’re running a bakery?
Yes I would love to hear how you started. I'm starting from home
Let me know if this helps! ruclips.net/video/BeG9AUr8eE8/видео.html
I would like to start from home. Could you talk about what that looks like and if it's worth it.
Do you have any advice for cottage food baker?
Can you share a sample process with me! I’m writing mine now.
Do you recommend any book on leadership?
You forget to add the importance to make rotation of the ingredient for example you need to use the last bag of flour before using the first one of the new batch
Exept for that your video is very informative i love it
There's LOTS of things I can share that no one tells you about owning a bakery but for the sake of this video, I only shared my top 5! Great tip!
Thank you so much! Definitely helpful! I would like to know what the expenses look like operating a brick & mortar bakery. Again, thank you so much! Wow!
Great idea! I'll definitely do a video on this!
Gave up my job as a chef due to risky pregnancy. I would love if you share the back story on how you overcome everything. Please do make a video. 😀
Great idea!
How much can I realistically expect to take home every month if I am getting like 10-15 orders every week and I’m a premium priced bakery? As in, I focus on quality ingredients etc. I just need a ballpark number to know if this is even a realistic route for me. And is 10-15 orders a week a lot to you? That’s the number I have in my head for me to be maxed out
I would love to know how you started from home. Thank you in advance!
I actually have a video up on my channel now about how I started my home bakery and opened my storefront in 18 months!
Off topic. You are very pretty🖤
Oh thank you!
Hi there! Wonderful video!!! So helpful. Any chance you can do a video on startup cost for a storefront ?
Absolutely! Thanks for being here! And thanks for the suggestion! I'll get on it! Be sure to subscribe!
How do you determine your demographics for a area when selling normal baked goods that are not specified for a certain group
Good question! You wanna look at the income level of the cities you are accessible too. As well as the demographics like race, is it primarily families, etc. You have to do the research. You can normally find this information by a simple google search.
What do you think about the online bakery model? How did you decide to go brick and mortar vs just keeping it online?
I started from home 14 years ago so an online business model wasn't really thing then so getting into a brick and mortar was the obvious next step. I honestly OUTGREW my home financially. I couldn't keep up with the orders that we're coming in and with the profit we were making I was able to afford getting into a brick and mortar. As far as the online bakery model it has pros and cons like every other business. You don't get the foot traffic from a Brick and mortar so it's heavily reliant on pre-orders and launches. If you do go with the online bakery model, my question to you would be how are you getting your physical product in the hands of potential customers? I would suggest still doing pop-ups, farmers markets, etc.
Hi, how do I prepare my staffs for an grand opening for the sandwich shop as far as running the back serving sandwich taking order and serving boba I'm not sure this subject is in your field but just asked anyway appreciate your time😊
Hi! This is actually a HUGE passion of mine! I'll make a note to film a video on this later but the one tip I would recommend to you is to continuously practice LEADERSHIP! I would make sure you're training your staff well ahead of time and equipping them with the knowledge they need to know. I would imagine you have created some processes and systems before signing your lease so I would make sure to train them on the processes you created in advance.
What major equipment do i need to run the bakery? And how do you know if something is nsf
Great question! I'll answer this soon, but THIS is a great video to check out! ruclips.net/video/vLqyYE6vUlE/видео.html

Hi Janelle! Super great content. Not sure if you even want to go back to edit, but it's spelled efficiency. :) My guess is that you'll opt not to fix it - not very efficient use of your time. ;) Keep the great vids coming!
I have never seen a bakery channel that doesn't do much baking it seems. Where are all the actual banking videos? WTF.
Hi, I love your video information! Thank you so much! I wold like more information and I would love to have a contact phone # or email that I can talk to you.Again, thank you so much!
