How do you come up with recipes and learn to decorate your baked goods? What are the price points? And SO much more!  🧁 How to wholesale. Once you’re ready, what steps do you take to get started? What logistics should you consider (like registering with the Department of Agriculture)? What’s the shelf life of your items?  🧁 What private labeling is. How can you do it to give your customers a customized experience? How can it bring in more revenue for you?  🧁 How Jennifer has grown her bakery business despite significant challenges. What made all the difference for her through 2020 (and beyond)? What is her store known for (hint: it’s something fun they can watch through a window!)?
