After doing the math, all the hard work we did over the summer was for nothing.
We spent approximately 15 to 20 hours each week baking, working at the Farmer's Market, handling social media (website and Facebook), grocery shopping, customer service, etc. and basically worked for free. Gluten free ingredients are just still too expensive without buying in massive bulk. And unfortunately, we had a lot of people who thought our prices were too high and therefore didn't buy anything.
We didn't really lose any money, we managed to basically break even on the amount we spent for ingredients, gas, and baking equipment. Still, 360-400 hours working for free just wasn't worth it.
We'd like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who supported us and liked our baked goods. As we have time, we will be posting our recipes so that you can continue to eat yummy baked goods. So watch this space for recipes and some gluten free and dairy free baking tips.
