| Strawberry Chiffon Cupcakes with Champagne Buttercream Icing |
People always ask "what did you do for your birthday", this year I affirmed that I am ready to take hold of my other passion.
Baking , I love to bake. It's a stress reliever, it's a creativity release, it's how I show my appreciation. Baking is a beautiful science. Many of my friends don't understand how I can just go in the kitchen and experiment with baking. Trust me, it's been a process. As I tell people who compare my feasibility as baker versus engineer; You must keep in mind I've been baking since I was a kid, almost 20 years. Wait till I've been engineering for 20 years, it'll be unbelievable, lol.
But I digress,
I've been wanting to sell my baked goods as long as I can remember and now it's a possibility!
Thanks to AB1616 I can sell home-baked goods. Planning is in progress.
Starting small is key, the types of goods I want to sell are:
- Cupcakes
- Muffins/ Breakfast breads
- Cookies
- yeast breads
The name? Obviously "Engineered Cupcake" precisely baked goodness. This is seriously hard work, I kinda knew it would be but I never imagined. I've learned alot from my nearly 4 years of working in restaurants hotels, country clubs, and for caterers. Lessons that I keep to heart.
Right now is mostly research and development. Development of the menu, pricing, finalizing the logo. Development of the menu of course means lots of taste testing. In a stroke of irony, one of the most popular cakes seems to be chocolate. It's ironic because I personally don't really go for chocolate cake. That's probably the reason I bake chocolate goods so much, I don't eat too much of it. lol.
The other thing is knowing my local demographic, so vegan and/or gluten free are a must. In the past week I've made about 5 batches of chocolate cake... mercy. I think the vegan gluten free chocolate mini cupcakes I baked for my birthday celebration are pretty near "the one".
I figured my birthday was a perfect time to taste test some recipes with my friends, etc.
Baked
Ideally I'm hoping to have my license in the next 2 weeks and aiming to sell at March's Art Murmur.
Stay tune for all the exciting things to come!
Happy Friday,
Jasmine
