🌀 Lessons From My Late-Night Bake Adventures 🍞✨
So I recently tried the Yudane Japanese method of making milk bread for my cinnamon rolls — and wow, the dough turned out so soft! I don’t put a ton of cinnamon (not everyone’s a fan of strong flavours), and I keep the frosting light — just a tiny bit of sugar, because honestly, most frosted bakes out there are sickeningly sweet.
If you’ve seen my reel, you’d know I baked these in the wee hours of the morning — in true bakery style 😂 Who knew baking would turn a night owl like me into an early bird? (Barely though, coffee still required ☕).
Here are a few things I’ve learned so far — both about baking and about people:
1. People eat with their eyes first.
The Oreo and Biscoff rolls sell like crazy because they look so cute 😍 Meanwhile, my personal favourite — the pork floss cinnamon roll — barely makes it out of the house because my kids keep fighting over it 😂
2. Timing is everything.
Just because something’s fresh out of the oven doesn’t mean people will buy it right away. Turns out, the magic hour for cravings is between 3:00 and 4:30 pm — that’s when I usually sell out!
3. Shelf life matters.
I learned how to freeze the dough properly so I can bake only as needed — keeps everything fresh and helps me manage stock better.
4. Apply the 80/20 rule.
80% of profit really does come from 20% of your products. So next time, I’m focusing on the flavours people actually love. Sorry walnuts and raisins — you’re great, just not everyone’s favourite 😅
5. Be prompt and make customers feel #1.
Quick replies go a long way — it shows people they matter.
6. And lastly, don’t always follow the recipe.
Sounds odd, I know. But sometimes you’ve got to be brave and make it your own. Like how I balance sweetness with a sprinkle of sea salt on cookies — that’s not me forgetting to sift, that’s me doing me 😉
We’re not for everyone — and that’s perfectly okay. 💛
