I’d love more of these Amy! Watching your packaging (which is so pretty and well thought out) and the entire process was so fun!

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

[@akaciaaa]

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

[@akaciaaa]

[@l12klein80]

This is so interesting to see behind the scenes!

[@LondonLovesOlympics]

I love this video, you should do one whilst you're doing a cake❤

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Thanks! I will be sure to film another on Wednesday :)

[@ennykad1]

Thank you so much Amy for sharing your tips 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Thank you!!

[@milissaramlakhan9791]

Really enjoyed this from beginning to end ....thanks for sharing ❤

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Thank you!

[@ShannonDavies1996]

If you can't find caster sugar, just use granulated, it really doesn't impact the bake and is cheaper :)

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Thanks for the tip! I never have granulated in the house as we use sweetener but I can always pop to the shop 👍🏼

[@hannahpayne9063]

Brilliant video as always Amy😊 Thank you. Is there any chance you could let me know where your brown postal boxes are from please as they look ideal.xx

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hey, they're called smartbox on amazon x

[@pantryofflavors3258]

Hi, great video and very informative. Wanted to ask how did you get your 5 star certificate and what did you have to do to qualify . Would appreciate your help. 😁 thanks

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Please watch my food hygiene video this covers all of this 👍🏼

[@naureenskitchenvlogs6047]

I know it takes lots of effort to record while u work, its easy to Vlog but when u are doing work and showing ur routine its a task :) lovely to watch 🥰🥰🥰

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

So true It's definitely time consuming but I love filming them so it's worth it :) I'm glad you enjoyed it x

[@naureenskitchenvlogs6047]

​@@Sweetthingsbyamy i just found ur channel while searching how to pack postal orders and ur channel came up. I have just started my baking business and i am based in Bham so need information and r videos are really informative Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@KB-bq7rn]

heyyy where do you get your foils from? the link isn’t in your description x

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

From ebay they're 7.5 inch trays, the link should be in recent videos :)

[@jenniferrivera8627]

Love these videos. Wondering what size are your shipping boxes

[@Emmalou86xx]

Love this channel. So great how you are willing to help others 👍🏼

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Thank you! I do try as I remember it being hard to find advise when I started :)

[@StopHatingStartLoving]

@@Sweetthingsbyamy another fantastic video idea. So glad I subscribed 👍🏾

[@reemel-turk5438]

Hi Amy! Your videos are amazing. Would you mind telling me what you use before you close the box to protect the brownies? Is it some kind of bubble wrap. Apologies but the video was so speedy during that bit. Thanks!

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hey, yes bubble wrap :)

[@inspiredbysase]

you are doing a great job, well done you inspire me

[@sherriefish7423]

Thank you very much !! What is the size of your tray pls ? Thank you x

[@yazyazmine]

Hiya just wanted to ask where did you get your delivery boxes from please ? That's the perfect size that I need for my cinnamon buns😍 much appreciated x

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

They are 'smartboxes' from amazon :) Linked in my packaging video

[@l12klein80]

A fun BTS would be of taking photos for your instagram!

[@haleherrine1451]

Hii! Thank you for an inside look! Where do you get your boxes for your orders from? Also do you package then in another box when shipping? TIA🤗

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hey! boxes are from amazon should be linked in the video, no extra box for shipping just mailing bags :)

[@ericawhitmore8398]

what postage do you use for your postals? do you get each postal box weighed? x

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I just use 1st class but some used tracked or 2nd class, I’d recommend looking in Royal Mail at the specifications of each. Yes when you take them to the post office each item is weighed which is why some use tracked because if it weighs less it won’t cost as much to post x

[@sarabensalah9869]

What size postal boxes do you use for your brownies

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Here’s the link Boxes - www.amazon.co.uk/Smartbox-211107825-225-Econ-Mail/dp/B01JARB8J0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1VPJX6OC06LHJ&dchild=1&keywords=smart+boxes+cardboard&qid=1614807706&sprefix=Smart+boxes+%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-5

[@rhianna6306]

Can someone explain how you get your own labels and mailboxes and all of that stuff like

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I print my labels by buying postage online, not sure what you mean about mailboxes? I have one local to me but I drive to the sorting office to post parcels :)

[@hollyevansss]

Do you grease the tins you bake the brownies/blondies in? X

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Yes for both foil trays and metal trays (where I remove them and cut them up) x

[@hollyevansss]

Do you find it better to grease with butter or butter and flour xx

[@a.w5552]

How well in advance can you. Bake the brownies and all postal treats?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I’d say it depends on the recipe, I would make a tray then leave it for a week to 2 weeks and see when they’re best. That’s alright thats I did as some recipes are dryer than others. I bake the day before postals so that if their are postal delays they won’t get them after the sell by x

[@fatimaa.farhat4004]

Thank you dear very helpful content👍🏻 keep it up

[@ayas_chaos]

Hi Amy what size business stickers do you use? ❤️

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hey, they're from banana print and I believe they're 53mm.

[@ayas_chaos]

@@Sweetthingsbyamy thank you really helpful I just really didn’t know Which size to order ❤️

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

No worries, they are big enough to be readable on a big box but not too big to take up too much space :)

[@catherineaga7249]

Hi what size of pan you use? Thank you...

[@hissoka]

What kind/size pans do you use?

[@itskits7104]

Loved this!

[@felipebr55]

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

[@s_roi]

where do you get your foil trays from? every one I look at is either too deep or too shallow

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

They're linked in my packaging video :)

[@kemilowo3988]

Wait if you sell occasion cakes how do you ship them?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I don't ship anything other than brownies, blondies and chocolate slabs. Cakes and cupcakes are collection only :)

[@charmainbryant]

How do you deal with the legal side of the business. Like environmental health in a home kitchen.

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Please watch my 5 star rating video which explains the inspection

[@nicolesmith8136]

What brownie recipe do you use

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Sorry, i don’t share my recipes

[@a.w5552]

What size foil trays and boxes do you use?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

The items are linked in my description

[@soumaiaadam8521]

Can you please share the recepie of your brownies?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hi sorry, I don’t share my recipes as I share so much other information about my business 🙂

[@soumaiaadam8521]

No worries

[@akaciaaa]

what is a blondie?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I think of it as a savoury brownie :) its vanilla based without the cocoa powder, perfect for putting biscuit toppings in

[@akaciaaa]

@@Sweetthingsbyamy ohh okay

[@DaegustD-y3y]

Hai I’m here, if you want me to leave just tell me but I think you are pretty without makeup, I’m sorry if I’m annoying you

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

Hey! No everyone’s always welcome here! That’s really sweet thank you, I try not to wear it when I’m home to help my skin :)

[@premgrewal]

You always seem so rushed and stressed! Do you enjoy what you do?

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

I love what I do but the reality of running any business on your own is that it’s not always glamourous and that’s what I want to show you. I create cakes that I am proud of and I may be stressed occasionally but it’s worth it. Ps if this is stressed my accountancy job was 10X worse! 🙂

[@hindmhamdabouloudani9141]

You speak a lot and show and do less ! Not interesting

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

You’re welcome to have a opinion however there are others that enjoy these. Please don’t watch In the future 👍🏼

[@debbielockhart7762]

Rude comment. Nobody is forcing you to watch.
