a month agoSo true, starting small takes all the pressure off. What was the first thing you ever sold?
2 months agoI think the word “launch” makes starting a home bakery sound WAY more dramatic than it needs to be. Suddenly you think you need: A perfect logo. A website. Professional photos. Custom packaging. A huge menu. 500 followers waiting for opening day. A countdown on Instagram like you’re releasing an iPhone. 😂 You don’t. Once you’ve handled the legal requirements where you live, know your costs and have a way to take orders and payments, you can start SMALL. Post a weekend menu. Set a preorder deadline. Set a pickup date. Take a manageable number of orders. Bake. Fulfill them. Then look at what happened. What sold? What did you make? What did it cost? What was annoying? What would you change? Then do it again. Your first weekend doesn’t have to prove that you can build a six-figure bakery. It just needs to prove that someone will pay you for what you make. Then you build from there. And if the pricing, business setup or backend tech is the part keeping you stuck, that’s exactly why I’ve created resources for new cottage bakers.
