[@kimberlykumar5826]

I’m having such a hard time with getting orders :/ I make samples of everything, make reels, post the options often, create different options (5) and yet I have no orders for Father’s Day I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I run polls asking what ppl would like and I make my treat options based on that🤷🏽‍♀️

[@aidaminyu7004]

I started off with pricing low and start increasing prices as more people starts recommending my bakes. Hope it will work for you too

[@kennedyvyce2317]

This is exactly what I'm dealing with too. I get sooooo many likes on my pictures and comments, but when I post things for sale...*crickets. It's pretty frustrating

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

It’s really really hard in the beginning. I find stock orders for tricky if you don’t have a customer base yet for custom orders. You can try the previous advice where you price things low at first and slowly increase-this may just help get your foot in the door a bit more! Good luck 🧁💕

Please more cupcake videos 😊 I know most of these vids are about decorating but I’ve been struggling on baking a moist flavorful vanilla cupcake, they’ve either been too dry, or bland, or sink in the middle. I can pull off WASC cupcakes, but nothing from scratch for vanilla. All my other scratch flavors come out great 🤔

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

One of the biggest things I can recommend is finding a recipe that uses buttermilk!!! It changes everything for a vanilla cupcake. If you check out my “make ahead smash cake” video you’ll find one that I like to use there 💕

Any tips to prevent butter cream from melting in hot weather while being sold at an outdoor event ?

[@sheemahussain2249]

Hey thanks a lot for all that you do for us viewers. Really appreciate it ❤️ I had to ask you a question. I recently did an order of vanilla cupcakes to my friend. Everything seemed perfect to the point. But my friend said that the frosting had a bit of a bitter taste kind off. I just don’t understand what did I do wrong. She said that it wasn’t the case with my chocolate cupcakes. And btw, I used American buttercream.

[@kimberlykumar5826]

Did you colour your buttercream? I find with some food colours like chef master, if you add too much it can make your buttercream bitter

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I agree! Some food colourings can make it taste a bit off!

[@lila8672]

Love this video! Btw, is the white thing "best dada ever" sugar paste?

Yes! Fondant

I'm not really sure! I only know how many I kind of started off with when I was stocking my bakery...I would definitely start with the most basic boxes first though because these are going to be cheaper and used more frequently.

[@MerlinBorghuis]

U can just put the fondant in the oven, preheat to 180. Then on some baking paper, put the oven off and stick hem in. They will harden up, dont bend anymore. The inside is still 'soft', so you dont break your teeth while biting in😅

How much woukd these be today with inflation?

I would probably say $25-$27 now!

[@J-FLaw]

So these will cost £14 in UK if to convert $20. Won't pay that much tbh, higher end cupcakes have both more quantity and quality with all fairness & honesty! For example if you are buying Lola's cupcakes or from Selfridge's. Your cupcakes are pretty! Keep up the hardwork 👍

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I don’t know those places! Haha, but I’m sure they’re great. Pricing here for pretty much everything is quite expensive so people do and have paid these prices, but I can see how it would seem a bit jarring. Our “fancier” type pastries run about $8.00 per small high quality dessert. Thank you 🥰

[@goodcookandherguineapigand5122]

$15 would that be to low

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I think $15 could be reasonable depending on the average range of your local pricing!
