I never expected opening a café, bar and bakery to be an easy challenge, but I didn't quite appreciate the rollercoaster ride it would take me on. Some days felt like I'd got it and other days it felt like I was completely clueless. 

It was those days when I really needed some support and guidance from someone that understood what the challenges were running your own baking business.

In today's episode, I talk about the top three things I learnt and how they can help you in your baking business.

Do you feel like you've got hundreds of ideas of what cakes and bread to make for your baking business but struggle to find it really hard to choose?

I remember when I first opened my café, I had lots of ideas of what I wanted to make, but when it came to working out what cakes to put on the counter, I found it really hard to narrow it down. 

I'm a naturally creative person so my biggest challenge was that I wanted to bake everything all the time! However, when it came to baking for my business, I had to learn how to focus my creativity.

On the podcast this week, I share my methodology for working out what to bake for my café and baking business that maximised profit and minimised wastage.

In today's episode, Naomi discusses the power of crowdfunding and how it can benefit a baking business.

In 2021, Naomi ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to open a bakery. 

If you’re unfamiliar with crowdfunding, it’s a means of raising capital by asking a number of supporters to invest money in your idea. 

Moving away from traditional loans and investors, crowdfunding can be a game-changer to get your baking business off the ground as well as offering other benefits.  To make it a success though, you need to have a strategic plan, without this, 75% of crowdfunding campaigns fail.
