- Being a stay at home mom and running a home bakery business...whew!
I have 4 hours in a day when my girls are at school to get all of my work done. Or at least I try to! If you're a parent, then you know the struggle and know that plans don't always go as expected!
But, I try! As the owner of my small business, I believe in work life balance and I strive to create that environment for myself and my family every day!
Come along as I bake cakes and get them prepared for this week's cake orders in my cake business.

I love that you share ALL aspects of a home bakery business- the good, bad, and ugly. And you show us how to move forward if things don’t go as planned. I’ll take truth over the perfection that a lot of videos portray.
Thank you! I’m always happy to share and help where I can. I hope to inspire other bakers and give a real life look. Thanks for being here!
@@TheStationBakery As for your baking strips, you can use wet paper towels wrapped in foil. That way you can make them the exact size of your pans.
hahah i'm the exact opposite!! i LOOOOVEE the prep + bake part and the decorating part is so daunting 😅😅 i usually keep it minimal and let you decorators do the elaborate fancy theme cakes!
SAME!
Oh my goodness I love your videos so much!!!! I love watching your videos while I bake, super motivating!💕🧁 and your giggle is so contagious😭
Thank you! I love that you bake and watch at the same time! It’s like we’re virtual baking besties ❤️
I use Cake Strips on everyone of my cakes. I don't use tall pans though. Maybe strap 2 on to fill that space. You have to squeeze out some water, I notice yours were dripping. Once you get the straps the size of the pan, slide that unattached loop to the end to hold the extra piece of strap down so it's not flapping and burn. They will start to turn brown but doesn't bother them. I have used mine for a year.
Thank you so much for helping me with this! 🙌🏽 I didn’t know the loops could move and that would have definitely helped.
And I considered using two straps but thought it would be ok…it was not 😂
Yes!! What Mitzie said... I dont know if you will need to use 2 or not b/c your pans are 3" tall but for sure you do ring them out so they are just damp and slightly cool. Not ice cold. Not sure what temp yours were. I like the cake strips but I dont think they are hugely necessary when using a fat daddios pan. I also wabted to add that when you get the fat daddios pans they suggest that you bake at 25 degrees less than the usual temp b/c they are anodized pans. So that also may help ya a bit if you didn't know that already. I just assumed you do b/c you are so knowledgeable in the baking field.
@@jamifitz thank you so much Jamie! I actually did not know about baking at 25 degrees lower when using fat daddios ! I actually did try to bake 25 degrees lower a while back but the cakes came out weird and I didn’t want to spend the time to figure out why so I just went back to the normal temp. I am going to experiment more with it lower. Thank you so so much!
I use the 3in tall fat dadio cake pans and only ever use 1 strip.
I love watching these types of Home Baker blog videos because it really does help me understand how I should be structuring my day in order to accomplish all that needs to be done! Thanks so much for all the help!
I’m so happy to hear! 🙌🏽 that’s the goal!
I just binged on your videos. You are so talented! I have double ovens. I only use it at Thanksgiving. You will get your double oven soon. I am sure you enjoyed your respite. Your baby was patting you on the shoulder. It's okay, mommy!
I only use my baking strips on sponges, they work really well. Love your videos, binge watching your video’s 😂
❤️
Yesssssssssssss!!! The baking drains me!
I know the struggle of balancing that work/mom life. keep up the great work👏🏾👏🏾🖤
I love how you share a part of your life you help me so much thankyou
🙌🏽 I’m so glad! Thank you for showing up!
I love cake strips! But I also use 2 inch cake pans. I remove excess water. Not sure if it helps but I soak them in hot/warm water. Idk why but it made sense to me. Kinda like ban Marie. 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve also taken breaks this time around and being more selective in the cakes I want to make.
Thank you for sharing those tips! Yeah the holidays pile up and I can be a lot
Life of kids....Fun
I think maybe you need smaller strips, those are more for 8in and larger. I have both the smaller ones and the bigger ones-I love using them.. And I think your lemon cake looked funny simple because of the acid in the lemon🤷♀️. I hope you find a style your are totally happy with! Sending you good vibes and support from a fellow Texan😊.
Thank you so much! I didn’t know there was a smaller version. 🤠
I agree, I purposely didn't take orders during Valentine's and I'm not advertising for Mother's Day. I just need a break, but have still been busy with creating Treat Tables for events/parties and also running my 360 video booth business.
Yes! Sometimes we have to pull back, analyze and restructure! How cool you have a 360 booth!
Whooosa! moment.
Peony... Yep been there. Also teal? Aqua? So many different shades and if it's a wedding 😳🤦
You are so real. I’m looking for that lemon cake recipe. How long have you been in business. Best of luck
Dollar tree has some beautiful flowers
Thank you! I was considering checking them out to see!
You can do it:).
Thank you 🥰
🥰🥰🥰
I love the idea of using fake floral on cakes but I have trouble finding info on how to properly do so, like how to clean them and do you need to wrap the ends or can you stick them in the cake. What’s right and wrong. Maybe one day you can share your tips! Thanks 💕
I show how I do it in this video ua-cam.com/video/__I2INw8bfE/v-deo.html
Hey. Great video. Where did you get your tall cake pans from?
Hey!! Thank you! You can get them here! My Favorite Cake Tools and Supplies by The Station Bakery a.co/9s0ByWY
Did you soak the strips? If sinking in the middle maybe adjust temp down.
soak, wring out and put on your pan.
🥰love your videos 🥰
Thank you!
How much cake mix do you put into the cake pan to make sure it doesn’t run over? For the cake that you didn’t use the cake strips?
It depends on the recipe but usually about 3/4ths full.
@stationbakery do you ever use or make sugar flowers?
I don’t! Considered it, but not ready to put in the time to learn. What about you?
I feel how baking can exhausting I get so frustrated it take me so long to do 4 orders
