kitchen tour! how i turned an apartment into a microbakery

kitchen tour! it's finally happening chickens! I know I've been putting this off for months but it was for good reason! In October I moved my home bakery into a new space. I cannot afford a commercial lease so I worked it out with my landlord to use this apartment to run my tiny bakery / microbakery whatever you want to call it. I've been here for 3 months now and i'm finally figuring out the space.
I'll try my best to answer your questions in the comments!
Thank you for watching ♡

you are who i want to be when i grow up. I am freshly 18, and in the research phase of maybe kinda starting a business selling handmade and *a e s t h e t i c* cookie boxes. It is so fun to see someone living my dream, and this kitchen is absolutely incredible

[@jody-anncrossley3988]

Lol 5:44-5:50 😂😂 love it great bakery .

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

you have a gift for perfectly capturing the energy of a weird thing someone said, à la the dakota johnson limes. not even the first video ive noticed it lmao. i have this theory that everyone has a small set of quotes or soundbites that took up residence in your brain the moment you first heard them and you like repeat them to yourself for the rest of your life, i feel like youve shown us a couple of yours so thank you lol 💗 my kitchen colours are also pink and green 🥺 not as gorgeous and painted as yours, i just get the pink or green option when im buying some new little tool or plates or whatever but one day i WILL have the green tiled kitchen i want.. the broccoli oven mitt is on my wishlist if ikea figure out how to have more than two things that i want in stock any time soon. EDIT OMG I JUST NOTICED YOUR LITTLE GREEN CAT ON THE INGREDIENTS SHELF. ok this is going to sound insane but do you have uh any information about the cat or its origin? my friend has been collecting them for over ten years now (when i say collecting i mean just buying any we come across in thrift stores) and weve never been able to work out if theyre manufactured or homemade bc some have details that look like they just had to have been handmade, but he also has found at least 7 or 8 of these dogs and cats, and one really large goose that he didnt buy so we're not sure if some person is just making these decoupage animal statues and leaving them in value villages all over southern ontario lmao. ive always wanted to know more about them, its one of the great mysteries of my life tbh. yours is such a lovely colour! wow you also posted this on my birthday! ok ive never left a weirder youtube comment im sorry. love your channel

[@LaurenMcGowan]

Tbh I have 1000s of sound bites, references, lyrics stored away. Maybe some milk echolalia but things just stick in my head. Green kitchen tiles are also my dream. I’d love to paint the cabinets but I can’t be bothered to repaint them if my landlord doesn’t love them when I move out. Edit reply: yes! I have collected a few as well. As far as I can tell it was a mass-produced figurine in the 1980s that you could paint, collage, découpage, whatever. My grandmother used to paint them. I love it because it you find them every few years and get to see different peoples styles. So cool. Thank you so much for watching and leaving long comments 💗

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

@@LaurenMcGowan I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful than green tiles in a kitchen or bathroom tbh.. my bedroom is also thematically very similar to your filming setup, it seems like we have a lot of decorating overlap lol 🍭🌈🐚 you have no idea just how wide you’ve blown the decoupage cat mystery with this comment omg. Even googling them now turns up many sale listings that look exactly like my friends cats, which was not true ten years ago when I initially tried learning more about them. But them being a mass-produced little kit that people then made themselves makes so much sense, wow… I still haven’t found any references to the kits themselves or how they were made so all that remains is to figure out how they can be made today so I can make my own little floral guys

[@julijulibobooli]

I just found your videos and I love you! You like Downton Abbey too 😮😊and THE PRECIOUS?! lol obscure references abound!

[@kautiamarie6475]

Did I already watch this one? Yes. Am I gonna watch the reuploaded video to see the clip inserts? Also yes

[@ajfilms]

haha the missing clip inserts miiiightve been my fault 😅

[@LaurenMcGowan]

[@EarthAngelIndigo]

Omg your so funny haha I love it 🥰

[@marinasoto5015]

Love this video! How do you get by with the health department ? I would love to do the same. I can’t find a commercial/commissary kitchen where I live 😢

[@lesherbivores3732]

Your space inspires me, I just might make an illustration and send it to you! ^-^

[@LaurenMcGowan]

I would cry 😍

[@taraciric8844]

the cut to google sent me

[@LaurenMcGowan]

me too! AJ makes sneaky funny edits.

[@Ad-wr8bt]

Are you using that oven for your cakes?

[@suzilahlah]

I love your space, love your vibe. Wish I lived close by, I’m about to start my own cookie business from home & would’ve loved for you to see it. Can you swim to Australia?

[@LaurenMcGowan]

I can try!

[@han-oz2fo]

i'm so terribly late to the party, but omg is that a heart of the ocean necklace lol???? if not that's such an ethereal lookalike

[@hannac9029]

Where is your kitchen island from?

[@valentinarusso3034]

Do you.. live here too? Or is this an extra apartment you're renting

[@gabrielanavarro5228]

I swore you were going to say “this is the ISLAND of misfit toys” with baited breath

[@LaurenMcGowan]

I’m so mad that I didn’t tbh

[@antoniahughes5332]

The exposure is so so super high and it makes it difficult to watch but I love your videos so much 😫😫
