To the lady who had a question about the cake recipe to buttercream ratio, my cake recipe is based on 12 servings. My buttercream recipes as written are meant for 4 batches. So you would quarter the buttercream recipe for one batch of cake.
Thank you for the quick reply. Is there a way to contact you via email/wesite, etc. regarding “specific” questions regarding the recipes?
Getting help is definitely difficult for me. I’ve always wanted to do everything myself. 😬
Great video, I love the labels!! 💜💜💜
Yep. It’s really hard, but it’s even harder to struggle unnecessarily and stunt your growth! Gotta dip your toes in at some point!
You should put some kinda plastic in between cake slices so they dont touch each other and mix icings
Just a heads up about a Guillotine Paper Cutter, after a while the cut becomes a bit warped - so you have to keep an eye out for that. It will curve out from the bottom - hard to explain, I'm sorry :) I worked in offices for over 40 years and unless you get a very expensive one, you will eventually run into that problem. Something happens to the "straightness" of the blade after a lot of use. And the blade does dull so either you replace the machine or try to sharpen it - which was a nightmare for me, lol.
Wow awesome. I don't need any labels but I use to have a love for baking and eating all the goods. I see that you're very knowledgeable great work on the templates. I like watching your video's when i have time. Keep up the good work 😊
Aww thank you! I appreciate it!!
Thank you for all your teaching I can’t wait till I
get my business off the ground and buy your labels , keep inspiring us ❤
Happy to share! Can’t wait to see you shine either! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🎉Greetings from Germany. The last cake I baked was 5 years ago at least 😂 I've seen one of your shorts and have been watching the videos ever since. You are simply a very sympathetic, friendly and authentic person. I enjoy your content, thanks 😇 I think videos like this are the core of youtube "broadcast yourself" - people doing what they love.
Awesome! Thank you!
YES, IM INTERESTING!! PLEASE!! THANK YOU SWEETIE!! ❤❤❤❤
Got it! 📝
You have helped me so much in the short period of time I met your channel. Do you have packing for bread (banana bread, & brownies)?
I am so excited.
I wish customers would understand how expensive baking is overall, so the pricing is very important and depending on what we baking/the amount of customers we have. As you sahred in your last video. The more customer you have, you can buy in bulk.
I would definitely love to be in the class.
Thanks for encouragement, and I appreciate your time and honesty. God bless you amd the journey 💞 🙏
Thank you! So glad! I don't have any specific packaging, but I have ideas depending on your need like the kraft paper bags or a box. My labels can be used to label them.
Yep, understanding our pricing and making sure it makes sense for us and our customers is vital to running a successful business!
I appreciate you and your engagement so much! It means a lot!
I'm definitely interested in learning how to go about choosing an assistant
I have two questions: In the label membership, do you have links to the packaging you use, so that we know that the labels will fit correctly? Also, I don't understand the reasoning behind using Walmart cakes for your promo pictures. Don't you want people to see YOUR cakes in your packaging? What you make won't look like that, so I'm not understanding why you do that. Thanks for another great video. And yes, I would be interested in finding out how you found someone to do your digital promotions, questions you asked, what is a fair rate to pay for it, how you pay (is it per video, per product, etc)?
Hi! Yes! Each label type has packaging suggestions except for my rectangle, square and circle templates because those can go on anything!
Great question! I’m using Walmart cakes for promoting my LABELS. The purpose isn’t for people to buy my cake, it’s for people to buy my labels, so I think not using my actual cakes is ok. If I were promoting the actual CAKE product for sale I would FOR SURE be using my own cakes to show what the customer would actually get. 100%.
Hope that helps. That was a really great question!
@@TheStationBakery Oh, dang, I never thought of that! Haha, but it makes perfect sense! Love watching your videos! How are you enjoying the new house/city?
It’s all good! I appreciate it. I’m still getting adjusted. The home is great but I find myself missing our old home ❤️ the friends we’ve made has been awesome, but just still haven’t settled into our new home.
💛💛💛💛💛
❤️❤️❤️
Hello I love your channel, very inspiring.
I am a pastry chef here in Kingston jamaica. ? What type of printer do you use and is it on Amazon. Keep up the good work.
I saw something about a written recipe for buttercream. How do i fine it. Love your videos
Hi! Thank you!! You can grab it on my website www.thestationbakery.com
I wish i can buy it looks so yummy!! 😣
♥♥♥♥
Hi there.. love your NJ purple girl. 💜 💜
Heyyyy!!! 🥰🥰🥰 thank you Veronica!
Came on here to ask your advice on packaging cookies? What machine or tool can I use to seal them?
A heat sealer!
Wait are we sisters? 😅😂 I know what you're talking about, I know I need help, but I love to get things done my way. However, I am letting go & learning to accept help, and allowing others to help in their way. I am here for you and praying for you and your business. Regarding the cake slices, what if you make your own taste boxes (you did something similar) so that they have an idea of your cake, what it tastes like and not the other company?
In our hearts ❤️ and thank you so much! And yes, that would make more sense for when I am ready to sell the cake tastings. But this was just for the purpose to show the labels, so using the store bought cakes was quicker and cost effective in my mind.
