The jars and the bags are a great idea! The jars in my opinion would be great for Holidays wrapped with a ribbon since the jars are more expensive. The bags would be great for everyday Farmers Market packaging. Most cookies are sold in bags, so the bags would be so profitable for you in my opinion.

[@madiruiz3814]

I agree.. the jars make a cute gift and the bags are great for a larger amount of cookies.🍪

[@yashicax5565]

Also counting out the cookies per packaging helps alot too when calculated the price (s). Great idea! Thank you!

[@TheStationBakery]

Oh that’s perfect because that will help make production easier and not consistent. Thank you!!

[@DonnaGreen-pu4po]

I really like the jars and the bags! They look more professional!

[@lynetteburnett4671]

I’m soooo jealous of that awesome pantry! You have wonderful ideas!

[@TheStationBakery]

Aww! Thanks so much! 😊

[@marquitaarnold4908]

@@TheStationBakery do you need a new virtual assistant??

[@arleneperry9899]

You have a good-sized pantry. I am so jealous. LOL. You might consider putting a lock on the pantry door to keep your son out of it. You don't want him to pull stuff down that might hurt him. I love the organization, and I am getting many ideas.

[@Atayrmy]

Same lol, it’s so pleasing to see. Mine at the moment is hectic 😵‍💫

[@elkedrayton6057]

I love the Jars with the Cookies and the Bags as well. Decorate the Jars with Ribbons that would make great " just because" Gifts while the Bag is for Home use. I like the Idea for hiring a Baker, People always looking for side kicks. You don't want a Baby Sitter you want a Childcare Person who interact with your kids and do fun Projects and things ( can't you tell I am a retired one 😂). One thing on your Buttermilk, it's never gets bad because it's already fermented. I learned this from Ben Starr the Ultimate Food Geek on KZbin. I love all the things you do. If I wouldn't live in Colorado I definitely would apply for these two Positions since I love to Bake and educate. Follow your Heart in everything you do and let God guide your Vision. Be blessed and be hugged.

[@TheStationBakery]

Wow! So much value in this comment! ❤️ True! I need someone I can trust on both ends Baking and childcare. I would love to have your help if I could. I didn’t know that about buttermilk!! So interesting! Thank you so much 🙌🏽

[@libbydaniely9808]

I like the jar and bags. You can present the jars as "gifts" with a bow and charge more.

[@DulcesSweets]

Great idea!

[@TheStationBakery]

Love that idea!

[@molove3408]

This video was very informative. Thank you😊.

[@paulandbenny]

I learn so much from your videos! You're making me want to sell at the farmers market. I didn't see anything when you said look at the bar under the screen though.

[@arleneperry9899]

I love the bag for the cookies

[@TheStationBakery]

I know! They look so good! Thank you!

[@MzJoJocooks]

I love the jars all the containers for the cookies

[@TheStationBakery]

Yes, I decided to go with the jars!! They were loved!

[@jenkenpo808]

I love your pantry and work space! Wow! Every baker's dream 🤗

[@TheStationBakery]

Thanks so much! 😊

We love you❤ We are inspired by you.

[@jacquelinep9340]

Hi thanks for sharing your journey and Ideas I would go with the bags and jars I know you will do what works for you and thank you because you inspire me to keep going with my business I'm the opposite I'm not a cake person but want to learn I'm a cookie person Lol!!! good to see you again

[@TheStationBakery]

Hi! 👋🏽 I decided to go with the jars. They were a hit and sold out. Yes, keep going and adjust as needed until you have created the business of your dreams! Ooo I need some pointers from you then! 🙌🏽

[@madewithlovebymari]

Those cookie ideas are great! The issue with them is they take longer as far as man power to get to the completed product. I know you will figure that into your prices. Congrats on your Farmer Market success!

[@TheStationBakery]

Yes!! They take a long time but I saw someone say to roll it out, then cut the circles 🤯

[@kayanderson1088]

Love the bite size cookies. How did you get the portioned so evenly?

[@teegraham]

I love the jars and the bags. Have you thought of playing with a chocolate chip cookie base or a peanut butter cookie base? You could sub out some of the butter for cookie butter in the chocolate chip version and swap out the peanut butter entirely for cookies butter. The butter pecan cookie looks awesome! Love baby boy at the counter, reminds me of having my nieces and nephews in the kitchen with me!🤗❤

[@TheStationBakery]

Hi! Thank you so much! I hadn’t thought of that, but that sounds like a perfect idea! Thank you for sharing with me and watching ❤️

[@joannc-joannscreations]

Baby boy is getting so big🥰

[@joannc-joannscreations]

Hi Koko How are you and the family like always love your videos 🥰

[@JenniferSummers-qq3cl]

Are those jars airtight? If so, they would last longer than the bags

[@emonmcmillon6185]

I have purchased bags for this same reason Walmart does carry the bigger bags in pack of 13 in white and the brown

[@TheStationBakery]

Such a good idea!

[@bridgetteshelton881]

Sweetheart God Bless You❤️I think You Are AHmazing keep doing what you do!! My hat goes off to You!! You're doing an incredible job!! Don't be so hard on yourself as you said 'stuff takes time!'

[@queenkitsune4864]

Inspo! Love your work

[@TheStationBakery]

Thanks so much 😊

[@queenkitsune4864]

I’m currently in test kitchen stage and it’s feeling a lot like analysis paralysis. The process of finding the right recipes can be VERY long!

[@TheStationBakery]

I know! It can take a lot but it’s all gonna be worth it. You got this! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@aliceedgington7]

What if for the mini cookies you rolled out the dough into a long rod and then cut medallions?

[@TheStationBakery]

That is such a smart idea! Thank you so much!!

[@Ladylately]

I would go with the bag because at a fair i wonder if they would just throw the jar away. I dont like plastic in the trash so im kinda thinking at a event the bag would ne better.

[@TheStationBakery]

Great points!!

[@TorriaSparkmon]

It's a pleasure watching your journey! I believe the farmer's market will be a success as you are well-prepared. I enjoy baking in my leisure and for holidays. Are you looking for a new virtual assistant? I'm available!

[@dyneshagreene-williams3243]

Cookie Jars!!!!

[@TheStationBakery]

Yep! Customers LOVED them and thought they were so cute! Loved the play on a mini cookie jar ❤️

[@MzJoJocooks]

So how much would you charge for both?

[@TheStationBakery]

These are just round about prices and I would have to crunch the numbers for sure but for the tubs I would do $8-12, bags and jars $6-8

[@TheStationBakery]

Those are just my initial thoughts!

[@weavermonya3195]

Nice

[@TheStationBakery]

Thanks!

[@emonmcmillon6185]

The jar looks better

[@TheStationBakery]

I went with the jars!
