Take a tour of my bakery she-shed!

[@bfblind1]

Just beautiful! You transformed that shed into an extremely functional and beautiful workspace. Kudos to your husband. I am so jealous.

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Awww, thank you so much! I am surely enjoying it! I hope you get yours soon, too! 😘

[@sarawalker5127]

Crystal, outstanding design, decor and color. Your work space is as eloquently designed as your gift of making fabulous cakes for any occasions. You are blessed with skills and talent, and an exceptional husband. 🎂

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Wow, what kind words! Thank you so much, and I have to agree about the exceptional husband! 🥰

Awww, thanks, Geneva! It's been fun (most of the time) and rewarding! 😃

[@foxeygirl]

It has been so fun to watch your business grow. I love seeing blessings come your way! I can tell so much thought and planning went into this space and it's gorgeous! Adam loved watching this with me and we were ooh-ing and ah-ing over your tool chest island that has all of your decorating tools!

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Awwwww, thanks, Amy! You have been such an encouragement to me along the way! It made me smile so big hearing my sweet boy, Adam got a kick out of the video! Love that kiddo! ❤

Thanks, Mrs. Kathleen! I sure have been enjoying it! 🥰

Add more under cabinet lights on your refrigerator side- lots of shadows show up in the video. To help with heat exhaust, add a roof vent (or two) with a thermostat to help cool your kitchen on the hottest days. Your kitchen looks beautiful! I've been entertaining this idea to make a shed into a bakery. Thanks for the additional inspiration! Blessings!

[@jenniferzgodzinski4107]

I’m so incredibly proud of you!!! You’re amazing. What a great team y’all make. You designed a perfect space!

Awwe, thanks Jenna! I am so proud of it and absolutely loving every minute I spend in there! I tell my husband that almost every week! 🥰

[@sandraskalnik387]

I am thrilled to find your video!!! I have literally been begging my husband to build a new house just so I can have a bakery space. A building like you have is the answer for me too. I can already envision the place to set it up in the yard that will put the door to the building very close to the door coming from the house. My husband was very interested in checking out the types of buildings that we could purchase. Thank you Thank you………

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Awwww, I am so happy to hear that you found my video useful and even happier that you'll soon be starting on a space for yourself! I'd love to see it as it's coming along, or answer any questions that my be helpful! Best of luck, Sandra! 😘❤

Oh, wow! Congratulations on starting your bakery she shed! I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed! I just had to focus on one task at a time to keep on track. Once it's finished, I promise it will be worth all of your hard work! 😊😘

4:58 Im in Florida too. I thought you have to operate a cottage food law business out of your primary residence, no outbuildings or sheds? Have the laws changed, is it by the county you reside in? Thank you for your time to respond. 😊

[@nancymorales7074]

You guys did a beautiful job! So inspiring!!! How much did you guys spend on it? I am looking to do something similar. ❤

How much did it cost ? Im not sure if she said or not. Lovely

[@nigarifrit]

Hi Crystal just came across your channel, love the bakery in new shed, I run my bakery in Pennsylvania and I rent a commercial kitchen bc I have pets at home, I am planning to move to Florida next year, and I figured I can run bakery out from home I don’t need license. But a garage can’t be used as home bakery. Do you have any advice and suggestions? Are you using the shed as a home bakery? please make a video on this topic. Thank you

[@antoinetteheaton4856]

Love it!!!

[@user-mr2eo9we3n]

How are you after Hurricanes Helene & Milton? I love your she-bake-shed 😊❤. I’m in NWFL I’m wondering HOW you got legal in a shed? My county doesn’t allow sheds. This would be perfect for me to startup a business and be able to take care of my elderly dad and disabled family members, and still earn an income for myself 😊

[@bettyelixson4686]

Love It ❣️

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Thanks! I figured I'd post a video since you haven't come to see it yet! 🤪😘

[@CarmenMartinez-jr3hu]

Such a beautiful space!❤ Congrats! Could you give a ballpark figure of the total cost? Thank you!

[@allynmarin]

I love this! Are you located in a winter climate? What kind of heating system did you install?

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Thank you! I'm in Florida, so a space heater (or just running my ovens for a few hours) does the job for me. I'm not sure which options would be best in a colder climate. 🤔

[@perrywilliams9226]

I love it:)

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Thanks so much, Perry! 😀

[@biancascustomcakes1069]

Love! What is behind the fridges? Is it an office space? Where do you keep things like boxes, cakeboard, etc.? I have a HUGE shelf just for that stuff! And… do you think two people would be able to work comfortably in this space?

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

So, the area behind the fridges has a washer and dryer and a little storage space for non-cake items, too. I store my boards on one of the shelves up against the entrance wall. For my boxes (which I find to be the biggest challenge to store) I actually have a cabinet space that I put dividers in and different sized boxes have their own compartment. I wish I could attach a photo to better describe it.....

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

And, tonyour question about two people working.....Yes! There is so much counter space that would not be an issue. :-)

[@paintingwithtastefromcanva7165]

Do you have a mop sink?

[@fulltimeweeb]

How much did everything cost? I want a shed just like yours for baking! It's beautiful

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Thank you! I didn't keep close track of every expense, but probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $20K, including the purchase and delivery of the building. I hope you get your baking she-shed soon! ❤

[@pamlunsford5316]

If you don't mind me asking, what was the approximate cost from start to finish? Just a ballpark cost? Thank you and I loved your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Awww, thanks so much for your kind feedback! ❤ I did a very poor job of recording keeping but if I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of $18-$20K including the purchase of the building, moving it, and finishing it out along with the appliances/countertops and whatnot. Hope this helps!

Was it certified and approved by the health department. I want to do this for my foodtruck business.

[@crystalthecakelady1313]

Where I live, there are allowances made for "cottage bakers" (people without a storefront that sell baked goods from their home). I'll bet the laws are different for food trucks, and probably vary from state to state. That sounds super exciting, though! I think a cupcake food truck sounds like a dream! Best wishes to you in your venture ❤
