Once upon a time

Greetings from a bakery far far away…nestled in the woods down a long dirt road in Lancaster SC  you will find a sweet little cottage/bakery called Debs Sweet Cakes. Walk down the stony path , open the pink door and waves of sugar cookies and cake scents will overwhelm your senses. Inside you will see Deb up to her neck in dishes, sugar, flour, and racks filled with hundreds of cookies to ice and cake pops to dip and cakes to decorate.

Sounds so romantic and dreamy doesn’t it????

Well, I for sure don’t want to come off negative because I am BLESSED beyond measure for God to give me this sweet business adventure. BUT I am thinking of doing “life and a day of a cake designer, baker, business owner ” video. I get all the time..” must be so nice to play in sugar all day and never a work a day in your life!” I think I wanna rip my hair out when they say that….if you know..you know. If you don’t, well you sound foolish!!

Doing what you love means you eat and sleep your job. It never ends! If your not physically working, your trying to tend to text messages, emails, phone calls, and then making sure you aren’t forgetting something..Did I order what I needed, did I run that errand to pick up?  Then you hop on socials and try not to worry your not doing too much, or Lord forbid not enough. Customers are driven by trends, visuals, and now to add to the mix,,COST. How much is it? People are wondering if they like you or not by your price. Listen I GET IT!!! We all are in a very complicated state of choosing wisely where our money is going.

If your still reading,  what I want you to know is I have always and will remain to the best of my ability to give you the best product for the most reasonable price. It has to taste yummy and look good! I am HUMAN and I made mistakes, sometimes I have to change things to keep relevant, but I am very consistent on my ingredients. I have not changed a thing in 14 years no matter the price increases on the goods I use.

I always always appreciate all the people who support small businesses! You are the ones that help dreams of doing what I love a reality..even if we are working and times hustling all the time.:)

 

Last year I started to make bread, a refresher for my Culinary/Baking school along time ago !  What I learned back then was for commercial baking not small batches..so I have now gotten to the place I don’t even buy bread ( rarely) because fresh made is easy and TASTES SO MUCH BETTER! Lets not get into cheaper, healthier, ect. I could come up with 12 reasons, on why to make your own bread.

Sour dough of course is all the CRAZE. I am so sick of seeing 101 ways to do it in tic toc and Insta. Lord have mercy..drives me nuts! Confuses people so much are they even trying it for themselves???

I want people to bake bread..oddly its become an passion for me..I want people of no experience and little experience to feel the JOY and satisfaction of making bread the EASY WAY! So in August I am doing a class on BREAD! Im very excited!!
