My Baking Journey

Are you a baker? Do you run your own cake business? Ever wonder if you're going about it the right way? Or perhaps you're thinking of taking the plunge and looking for an alternative to that career you're getting tired of? If so, this podcast is for you! We sit down with some of the brightest stars in the baking world. Chatting about how they got into baking, why they love it, and why some days it's the last thing they want to do. It's about what drives them, what makes them successful, and how they manage their day to be a star baker. It's not all rainbows and flowers though. As you'll hear, these bakers have worked hard and pushed through some trying times to create the magic they do in the kitchen. This isn't about baking tips, but more about finding ways to build your business, get customers, grow your social media, and look for inspiration. Our guests have pretty much been through it all at this point so come along for the ride and enjoy this podcast from your friends at OLBAA.Who is OLBAA? We make the best packaging for bakers around. From tall cake boxes to luxurious cupcake boxes, we strive to develop packaging for bakers designed by bakers. Learn more at www.olbaa.shop

E26 - Cake Makers Collective - How 4 bakers came together to share their diverse knowledge with the baking world.

August 07, 2023 • OLBAA • Season 3 • Episode 9

We’re doing something completely different today as we’re speaking with FOUR amazing bakers who collectively have over 40 years experience behind them - the Cake Makers Collective.

Sally, Jess, Charlotte, and Danielle all met late last year through a cake school and instantly become huge friends through their own whatsapp group. They all have their own cake business and they all have their own specialities.

Danielle actually runs her own cafe in Kent. The girls are placed around the UK so this WhatsApp group was the main way for them to communicate but it didn’t take long before they realised they could pool their expertise together to develop a virtually-based, community-focused, training platform - the Cake Makers Collective.

We wanted to know more about the collective and how it came about. It’s an affordable, and bite-size approach to 1:1 training for anyone at any stage in their baking career. This is not in-class training as there is definitely a place for that. It’s a very different approach and we found the diversity of experience the girls bring and their approach made us feel we should chat with them.

So, are you starting your baking journey? Do you need help but live far away from any training centre where you could get help? Well, keep listening as this may be what you’re looking for. On with the show….
