00:00 The 3 phases to creating a full-time Home Bakery Business.
01:09 Mistake #1: Quitting your day job at the very beginning (or too soon).
02:45 Mistake #1 (part 2): Trying to create a full-time Home Bakery AND working at a full-time day job.
03:44 Mistake #2: Believing you need fancy equipment and a big kitchen.
05:16 Mistake #3: Buying ingredients & packaging in bulk at the beginning.
07:04 Mistake #4: Winging it with your pricing.
08:26 Mistake #5: Basing your menu on what others are baking or what seems popular.
10:07 Mistake #6: Naming your business after yourself.
11:31 Mistake #7: Letting the Licensing process freak you out and then procrastinating...
14:17 Mistake #8: Waiting to FEEL "ready", "more confident", "more experienced".

Hey home baker! You can download the Home Bakery Business Roadmap here 👉 philosophyofyum.com/free-resource-library-for-home-bakers-and-home-baking-businesses/

[@kanaprajwal]

Very good information,

[@swethas5824]

Mistake number 8 - made me so emotional.. I have never ever seen someone encouraging someone who has the potential to bake but not doing so because of these mistakes.. i cannot thank you enough for this video 😢❤🙏

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing. I am so happy to hear this! 💖

[@nicolaslospetros]

Thank you for your video! I also want to share small secret that you can offer your cookies and pastry to local airbnb hosts (and they can include your goods in welcome pocket) or with local coffeeshops. We have 7 different business prior to our "opening" that interested in frequently collaboration. And to start fast better to have any contract, then dont have no contract. We take our first contracts from cortadowitch shop on etsy and our care cards from etsy too. I think that you should not spent a lot of time on administrative work, when you start business, if your business - bakery, then most of the time you should bake or farming customers, not choosing "good name" or planning ideal bakery set up

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Great job on taking initiative in your business! It's so true that you shouldn't get caught up in the admin. Make the best decisions you can and then move on to tasks that will actually get you more orders and income :)

[@Maimbo_Chuulu]

I'm starting off as a home baker and this what I needed.

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful :) I wish you all the best with starting your Home Bakery Business - you've got this!

[@creationsbymichelle]

I did get emotional at the end. I've let the fear of failure, fear of what others will say or think, and doing what everyone expected of me hold me back all my life. Baking/cooking is in my DNA and I've known that since I was little. I am so passionate about it and absolutely love baking/cooking for others. I'm now 45 and a single mom to 3 boys 10 and under. I'm now in the process of getting everything together to start my business. I am under the Cottage Food Laws in my area and as long as I stay under $25k a year I don't need a license or health inspection. It's still very scary because I want this to succeed and make sure I do everything right before I actually start baking. I have a sign with a quote that I keep reading to keep me motivated "Twenty years from now you will regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did".

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Aww, Michelle your comment is beautiful, and that quote is awesome! I am excited for your journey. Be sure to sign up for my free resource library to help you along the way >> Free Resource Library for Home Bakers and Home Bakery Businesses - Philosophy Of Yum Blog

[@bustkateers4]

My niche is essentially "like mom/grandma use to make". Simple but delicious baked goods with simple real ingredients. I don't try to be fancy with things because grandma wasn't fancy. A bite of nostalgia is what I aim for when you eat my treats.

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

That is a wonderful niche! It all starts with choosing the RIGHT NICHE for your business. You need to solve a real problem with your baking. Here's a link to my KZbin video about niching the RIGHT WAY >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH2ZXmCNZaaVa7Msi=uN7lHecUNIP1ojdv&t=102 And then you need to communicate that niche to your customers in a way that makes THEM the focus of your business.

RIDICULOUSLY helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing all of this! 😍 Question: do you think it’s okay to incorporate your name into your business if the name still specifies what your niche is? For example, “Marie’s Muffins?” I am still researching and learning about cottage food, so I haven’t come up with a business name yet! But I was considering ones that involved my name before you advised against it! 😅 I trust your insight and experience!

[@Marie_Garwood]

I watched more of your videos and discovered the answer to this question. 😅 I’ve learned that specifying a certain product is not a niche but a restriction! I’m watching the naming video now! Thank you for all that you’ve shared!

Thank you so much for your clarification on starting a home bakery. I went to the Institute for Justice as you suggested and found that my state, Georgia, is not an easy state to contend with.

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Aww, I am so sorry you did not receive any orders that is very tough, but I am glad this video brought you some healing. Truth is, to become a successful baking entrepreneur you do need to learn a lot of key principles about entrepreneurship, business, and marketing (which deals A LOT with how your CLIENTS think about your business and how to get through to them).

[@chuckgoldberg3656]

You approached it all in a very intelligent, common sense manner, while speaking from your heart. I'd like to get your opinion on my situation: I'm in the embryonic stages at home, with demand spawning for a couple of artisan sourdough breads I innocently shared. I'm open to taking it up a notch from home, but what I don't understand is how I can make any serious money with this, considering all the time and labor involved. There's nurturing of sourdough starter, plus all the proofing time and kneading. This is a far cry from the quick turnaround of pastries. So, it seems like something more suitable for a hobby at most. What say you?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Great question Chuck! Most bread bakers I know managed to turn it into a profitable business by also baking other things like doughnuts and pastries that are less time consuming and more profitable. BUT, also keep in mind that with bread there's a lot of PASSIVE time you can't charge for. It's only fair to charge our customers for ACTIVE time we spend on their orders. So, when you add up all the ACTIVE time you spend on a loaf of bread, it won't be as severe as you might think.

[@chuckgoldberg3656]

@@aureliaphilosophyofyum My point is that if I'm concentrating solely on this kind of bread, I don't see how a one-man business can generate enough loaves to be viable.

Hey there! Sure thing, you can read this blog post I wrote a while back - philosophyofyum.com/home-bakery-certificate-and-license/ Every municipality is different though. I've only ever gone through this process (twice) in Cape Town. You'll need to phone or visit your local municipality to find out what their rules are.

Im 74 years old and all of a sudden want to start a baking pies business from home, but not to be subjected to inpections of my kitchen. How can I do this? I know im old but I have always liked baking and for some reason I am passionate about starting this new venture. I liked your video. You were honest and I felt as if you were reading my mind. I have frequently in my life STARTED things and not followed thru. But this time ---- I REALLY WANT TO FOLLOW THRU!!! Fear of failure is very much a part of this.

I am so proud of you, that is so awesome! Every country and city is different as far as the laws go. Here is a website that may help with that if you are in the US >>> forrager.com/laws/ YOU CAN DO THIS! 💖

I'm starting right away but I need oven. Thanks

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

I started my home bakery in my student housing kitchen back in 2012. I borrowed a mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer from a friend. Our student house's oven was broken, so I baked everything at my then boyfriend's (now husband's) house and finished packaging it at my own student house. I did this for a whole year! Where there's a will, there's a way! 💪💖

Thank God I found this video

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Thank you, I am glad you found it too! 🙏

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.

Hi there Aurelia, Thank you for all that you are doing for avid home bakers. You mentioned starting off by baking a dozen items on Fridays and then increasing from there but I wondered, when starting off, how many items should we list on our menus if we only bake one day per week? Thank you!

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Hey Shona! Thanks for your sweet comment :) And great question! This short video will help you understand how to create your menu when you're starting out >> kzbin.infohm4B83xJAJw

@Philosophy of Yum by Aurelia Thank you! Greatly appreciated.

Wonderful! I'm a home-based FLORIST and flower farmer, and I want to merge away from bouquet deliveries (not very scale-able and not nice to continue while aging). I'm the best baker in our large family, so I end up making most things at Christmas, or they complain, lol. I love it. My plan is to introduce my flower customers to my baked goods with flower niche, so that I eventually can merge 100% away from fresh flower deliveries. My floral name is perfect for floral sweet treats! The mark up on chocolate, for my current add-on sales is ridiculous! $8.50 wholesale (just a 80g block), that they say to sell for $11.50 RRP. Customers do pay it! I fell for it because the packaging is a beautiful floral wrap, but I feel bad that the chocolate is unremarkable, and I usually like all choc! Thank you for your advice - I'm fired up!

[@lilacDaisy111]

(by floral name, I mean, the name of my florist, not my personal name, like you said). :-)

Hey, this video was quite helpful. I am a 16 year old student, and I started it well, but then I messed up my home bakery because my pricing wasn't right Any tips?

@@aureliaphilosophyofyum Thanks so much 💗

[@MustangAXF]

Will they let you bake at home and sell online? Can you bake at home legally in the states?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Each state has different laws, look up your state cottage kitchen laws, but most (if not all) states in the US allow selling certain baked goods from your home. Check out this website for more info >>> forrager.com/laws/

[@SSaldanha]

Woops i did that...i quit my Graphic Design job. 😮

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Not to worry 😊 you can always apply for another job - even a part time one will help your finances so much as you start your baking business! You can do this 🎉

I’m in the process starting my home bakery business and I’m struggling to find information regarding home insurance. Will I have to change my home insurance now that I have a business running from it and approximately how much extra would that be costing per month?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

It really depends on where in the world you live. You would need to research the cottage laws in your area. If in the US try this website forrager.com/laws/ Typically you do not have to pay for additional home insurance.

I’m trying to sell my homemade bread and a local coffee shop but have no idea how much to charge for it. Would you have any idea on a loaf of homemade artesian bread?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

It really depends, but I have a blog post about how to price your bakes, which may help >> philosophyofyum.com/cake-pricing-for-home-bakers/

Hello Aurelia. Thank you for your video. Excellent information. I was trying to sign up for your free resources and price calculator. I entered my name and email and shows an 'internal error' message. Is this free resources offer no longer valid? Thank you. 😎🤟💜

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Hey Carolyn! You're most welcome :) I'm glad the video was informative. The Library is totally still open and valid, YES! The "internal error could have happened for a variety of reasons. But I checked out the sign up form and everything seems to be working perfectly. I can also see on the back end that many other people joined the Library yesterday (and today) without any problems. So, all of this considered, my best advice is to just try again. Maybe also try on a different internet browser.
