I was let go this past week and am honestly thinking about pursuing a baking venture. Has anyone here ever started baking to sell directly to consumer, from your personal kitchen?

I recognize I need a Level 2 Cert to account for legality, but I’d love to hear from you.

I love it. Pursue your dreams! There were a lot of people who did similar things during Covid. Maybe reach out to one and see if they’re willing to chat.

You can do anything you put your mind to,
just do it strategically.

A business can take a while to stand up and make a profit. It you don’t have a lot of $ saved up to seed the business and afford rent while not making a profit, then get a full time role and start with weekend baking. Also consult with a tax advisor.

You can also look into “Cloud Kitchen” , a ghost kitchen concept already certified that you can rent and they deliver your goods with Uber eats. (Not sure how much it costs)

You can be the next baked by Melissa! Listen to her story.

Are you very good? 😄😄 I will order some.

You should totally do it! I would just say be prepared to do a lot of non-baking work in order to be successful, and know you’ll prob need some kind of catchy story hook to really do well in a city that has amazing bakeries left and right.

A friend of mine is a former consultant who quit her job to run a burrito business. During the pandemic she and her partner started a burrito business from home, constantly selling out. Eventually started working out of a bodega kitchen, and now they’re doing a food hall residency at a market in Chelsea. It’s amazing, but every star had to align (big social media personalities, a really great and highly differentiated burrito, having monthly order drops like supreme so they get $ up front, good PR, etc.) they’re @forsythfireecape if you want to check it out!
