  • Being a stay at home mom and running a home bakery business...whew!
    I have 4 hours in a day when my girls are at school to get all of my work done. Or at least I try to! If you're a parent, then you know the struggle and know that plans don't always go as expected!
    But, I try! As the owner of my small business, I believe in work life balance and I strive to create that environment for myself and my family every day!
    Come along as I bake cakes and get them prepared for this week's cake orders in my cake business.

    I love that you share ALL aspects of a home bakery business- the good, bad, and ugly. And you show us how to move forward if things don’t go as planned. I’ll take truth over the perfection that a lot of videos portray.

    I use Cake Strips on everyone of my cakes. I don't use tall pans though. Maybe strap 2 on to fill that space. You have to squeeze out some water, I notice yours were dripping. Once you get the straps the size of the pan, slide that unattached loop to the end to hold the extra piece of strap down so it's not flapping and burn. They will start to turn brown but doesn't bother them. I have used mine for a year.

    • @TheStationBakery

      @jamifitz 2 года назад +4

      Yes!! What Mitzie said... I dont know if you will need to use 2 or not b/c your pans are 3" tall but for sure you do ring them out so they are just damp and slightly cool. Not ice cold. Not sure what temp yours were. I like the cake strips but I dont think they are hugely necessary when using a fat daddios pan. I also wabted to add that when you get the fat daddios pans they suggest that you bake at 25 degrees less than the usual temp b/c they are anodized pans. So that also may help ya a bit if you didn't know that already. I just assumed you do b/c you are so knowledgeable in the baking field.

      @@jamifitz thank you so much Jamie! I actually did not know about baking at 25 degrees lower when using fat daddios ! I actually did try to bake 25 degrees lower a while back but the cakes came out weird and I didn’t want to spend the time to figure out why so I just went back to the normal temp. I am going to experiment more with it lower. Thank you so so much!

    I love cake strips! But I also use 2 inch cake pans. I remove excess water. Not sure if it helps but I soak them in hot/warm water. Idk why but it made sense to me. Kinda like ban Marie. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve also taken breaks this time around and being more selective in the cakes I want to make.

  • @mokiepoet
    @mokiepoet 2 года назад +1

    I think maybe you need smaller strips, those are more for 8in and larger. I have both the smaller ones and the bigger ones-I love using them.. And I think your lemon cake looked funny simple because of the acid in the lemon🤷‍♀️. I hope you find a style your are totally happy with! Sending you good vibes and support from a fellow Texan😊.

    I love the idea of using fake floral on cakes but I have trouble finding info on how to properly do so, like how to clean them and do you need to wrap the ends or can you stick them in the cake. What’s right and wrong. Maybe one day you can share your tips! Thanks 💕
