Challenges in the kitchen are my thing! Finally, the "fog is clearing" and the mountains of questions that arose before starting to bake sourdough bread are now clearer.
Finally, I enjoy the process and see countless advantages in this experience!
My gut are already thanking me!!!
To my family and friends - you are a wonderful support team, thank you for enjoying it together❤️

Listening well and correctly feel the needs of the customer is my first and very important step. Without it, I do not take any further action and if I feel that something is missing between us, I do not take a risks. Sorry,maybe I'm just not your cake artist.
Because my goal is not a material profit! It's way more...
That feeling when they trusting you as a creator, hearing your insights, value your advice, not asking you to repeat the look of another confectioner work - is more valuable than anything!
And that final stage, when the general table decor and your creation meet's is WOW!
And I can confirm, our vibe is a match, this pictures is a real proof ❤️

Imposible practice before - you just take it and do it, follow the picture created in your head, the details you've seen before.
Touch by touch- steping back, thinking, again I touching carefully, because I can't ruin it! My hands shaking, from excitement and fatigue, steping back again for a moment.
It's such a big responsibility-
Will they like the taste? Will the overall look will meet their expectations?
After all, they entrusted me with creating everything!
My reputation, the loyalty I've cultivated by years and the remaining relationship depend on it!
And for myself - either you do it well or you don't do it at all!
Little details make a large portrait! ❤️

I've heard it many times: we don't eat the cream that covers the cake!
Wait, what?
And then the answer is: - it's very fatty, just butter, sweet and a lot of it!
Let me tell you why I agree with you 100%, because I know why!
It's either a bad production technique or a bad recipe.
Yes, my covering cream is from butter, but it is not fatty and extremely sweet, and it is always eaten, no one is willing to throw away any scraps of it, because:
*The cream is whipped for 30-40 minutes to get a light, fluffy and not at all fatty butter-like texture.
*I don't use powdered sugar, only condensed milk, so the cream is light, soft, and the fat content, your taste buds can feel, is reduced to a minimum.
*To get the whitest cream possible, I don't use bleaching dyes, which are already banned due to their harmful composition. I beat for a long time until the butter loses its yellowness and turns as white as possible.
*My cakes are not covered with a lot of cream to get more weight which you will pay for it cover "mistakes"-like nobody gonna know. I would!
I spread it in thin layers, freeze, spread it again, freeze and spread it again in millimeters until I cover it the way I need. Usually the cream layer reaches only 5mm, and this process takes an hour or more.
Well and the final decoration is a separate story, maybe for the next time!
Know what you are paying for and the master, you trusted to bake- your special dessert for a special day!

with Love

Know what you're paying for!
Of course, I could have bought ready-made dough from the store, baked it, greased it, and you would have hardly noticed any difference.
You know the prices of products these days, after all you visit stores, and small businesses don't buy in bulk to reduce the cost price.
Honestly? Products alone eat up a third of the price you pay for it!
And where are the other expenses: fuel, water, tools, electricity, packaging? Oh, I forgot about time and knowledge - but these usually remain tax-free.
I've said it many times, I'm a poor businesswoman, but I'm a pretty good and very honest confectioner!
I'm standing for hard manual labor and quality. If I bake, then only with love and like a mother bakes for her child, like a daughter for her mother, like a sister for her sister!
A cake is much more than eggs and flour!
Thank you for everyone who came to me, who feels the same way as I do! ❤️

I wish that at least every second of us would learn to give without the goal of getting back.
I have never learned to sell my talents, and I probably never will, maybe because my goal is emotion, not financial gain?
I never say never, but today is definitely not the time.
The "little treat bag" is my frequent companion, inside it is an expression of my love or gratitude.
Thank you in return for an open conversation or for a messages: how are you?
For a dayly morning smiles and hugs at the school gate or for "illegal" discounts in my favorite store☺️
O just because other day you looked for me bit sad❤️
For many reasons,I'm counting every single good and bad gesture😉
Love can be in various forms, my love is handmade and usually sweet, but not too much, so that it remains more natural and down to earth,just like me ☺️
