Know Your Worth, Pricing For Your Home Baking Business
One of the most difficult aspects of starting a home baking business is knowing how much to charge. When you first start out you may not have the knowledge or the confidence that someone with more experience has, and you may feel as if you shouldn't charge what you are worth. Let's explore the pros and cons of pricing in the baking world. First, know that you cannot compete with a commercial bakery or big box store prices. If a potential customer comes to you with an idea, or wants something for below what it costs you to make it, then let it go. I will gladly tell customers with budgets below my pricing that ...

The Kentucky House of Representatives and HB 263
This week I and other Kentucky Home Bakers went to Frankfort, KY to be there when the house voted on House Bill 263. First, we had a great group show up on Tuesday. I drove for 4 hours from Paducah to attend. Our home bakers gave cookies, cupcakes, and cake pops to be passed out by the house pages, and then we all patiently waited for the house chamber to begin. A few minutes after the proceedings began the house went to a recess. Our group was then informed that all bills on consent order would be postponed until Friday of this week. Sadly, I drove 4 hours home with no vote. Today, February 23, ...

There are several steps involved for a bill to become law. This week, on February 15th House Bill 263 was heard before the Health and Family Services Committee. They voted on our ...
