Thanks for watching this week’s UA-cam video! I’m curious; what are your thoughts about making baked goods in advance? Comment down below! Get my time management tips here 👉 philosophyofyum.com/tips-boost-baking-productivity/
Love your cat!❤ He is so cute and he sounded like he said "hello." I do have some questions though. What are your thoughts of freezing chopped fruits for preparing the ingredients? Or do you think they will keep just fine in the fridge after chopping them? Also, I read that pets need to be kept out of the kitchen when making cottage food for sell. How do you keep your cat out? Just lock him in a cat room when you are baking?
Hello Katelyn, thank you for your sweet comment. 😻 Doing as much prep work as possible will always be helpful for your home bakery, the only thing you should be careful about is some fruit when frozen absorb a lot of water which in turn will affect your recipes, so be mindful of that. Your public health department is a much better place to get the direct answer to your question about pets. Laws vary by state/localities. Luckily my cat stays clear of the kitchen when I would bake for clients. All the best!
If you buy flour in bulk, just either repackage it into smaller containers or wrap the bag in plastic (plastic wrap or just the grocery bag - you are just protecting the bag from tears) and freeze for up to 2 years. When you are ready to use it, let it come back to room temperature and then just re-sift it. Directions are from Gold Medal brand flour. Where I live flour can get expensive, so when it does go on sale, I do buy it in bulk. Been doing this probably 10+ years. But then I also have 2 chest freezers...
Hey Jessica! I honestly don't know because I don't sell cake pops in my home bakery. The only way is to test and see :) I recommend freezing about 4 and testing 1 each week (for 4 weeks) to see how they handle the freezing.
Thanks for the videos. You have a new Subscriber! I have a question for you. Do you know how to make Chocolate chips to have a shelf life of at least 1 month once they are baked? if yes, what conservative should I use to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your response :)
Thank you so much Walder! I do not know how to make items baked with chocolate chips to last that long unless you freeze them which I am not a big fan of doing - except for raw cookie dough! 💖

Thank you so much, you are the best, I almost got in the trap of buying flour in bulk.
I guess eggs also fall in the buy when you need list?
Blessings
You're welcome! I'm so grateful to hear you ended up not buying flour in bulk! Yes, eggs you should also only buy as you need them :)

What about cake pop balls? Think that can be pre rolled and stores in deep freezer?

But should you not freeze cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for 24 hours before shipping across America?
