Mortgage saving, debt reducing food ideas are not new. Women and men have been baking, making jams, jellies, hot sauces, barbecue sauces, pickled watermelon rinds, corn relish, apple butter and a multitude of other products for many years. These are the food innovators that not only produce little gourmet goodies for their friends, family and community but as a way to make ends meet.
If you are not familiar with Angela Logan’s story it is one worth reading. It describes the length someone will go to in order to survive. Living in Teaneck, NJ and a stones throw away from losing her home to foreclosure, Angela stepped out of faith, threw away her pride and figured out a way to save her home. The solution would be to sell 100 apples cakes for $40 by her foreclosure deadline.
When she decided to step out on faith and reveal her need to the world, the world opened up and embraced her.
Many bakers who want to sell their special products are tenacious and ready to take control of their life situation. They possess the same dogged determination possessed by Angela Logan. Look let’s be real, disparate times call for disparate measures and today we all need to have some sort of part-time gig, particularly with jobs being not only scarce but almost non-existent.
The key to creating a successful home bakery is not what you bake, or what but whether you have the fearlessness to step out and work your plan; learn what you need to learn to make your venture a success. Starting a small bakery business is not rocket science but does take commitment, determination and a willingness to fall and get up.
