    Baking as a Business

    Backing as a Business


    Baking as a Business lays out much of what I learned when I went into business and opened, Truffes, Inc., my wholesale bakery servicing hotels, restaurants and caterers as well as wedding cakes touted by others as the best in the city. This 116 page PDF with photographs starts with what type of bakery you want.   It goes on to cover, where to find money, equipment, pricing out for profit, licenses, taxes, insurance. used vs. new equipment, layout, paid partners, freezing vs. fresh and more. This is the information I wish I had when I opened my bakery. A Book like Baking as a Business would  have made moving forward faster much easier.  Many photographs are included. $14.95

Even busy people can bake as in many cases, recipes can be done over days. The goal is to make your baking life easier, more enjoyable, with great outcomes on a consistent basis.
