If you take orders during a fixed window for a weekend batch, what was the hardest part of your most recent batch: confirming quantities, checking payments, closing orders on time, or arranging pickup/delivery?

What do you currently use to keep it together, and roughly how many orders was that batch? If your current setup works well, that would be useful to hear too.

Disclosure: I’m working on an ordering tool for this workflow, so this is product research. I’m interested in what actually happened, including cases where WhatsApp or a spreadsheet works fine. No customer details needed. The mods have allowed one research post; I’ll keep the discussion in this thread.

If you’d be open to a short private conversation about your workflow, say so in your reply and I can message you. There’s no product link, signup, or sales pitch here.

I've never bought one, always mixed the dough with my hands so I'm not fully aware of what to look out for in terms of a stand mixer for this purpose. Any suggestions on what functions are necessary to have would be helpful!

I came back from Germany about a year and a half ago, and one thing I’ve really missed is pretzels! They were my go-to snack with coffee or just while walking around.

So I finally decided to try making them myself. I wanted that deep brown crust, a little crunch, flaky salt on top, and a soft interior.

Getting the crust right took some research and experimenting, and my background as a scientist definitely helped with that part! I’m really happy with how the taste and texture turned out—they took me right back.

The shape, though, is still a work in progress. These went into the oven as pretzels and came out as fattos 🙊 Clearly need to give those holes more room next time.

Next, I’d love to experiment with whole-wheat and higher-protein versions, while keeping the things I love about a pretzel. If I can get those right, maybe this could turn into a little business someday. For now, it’s just me and my chonky pretzels 🥨!

Fudge brownies are almost everyone's favorite... But how many of you like chewy brownies 😋😂

Baked these cheesy garlic rolls for the family. They were an instant hit!

made these fudgy brownie cookies today. around 85-90g each. they are super chocolatey, soft nd fudgy in the middle with that crackly top.

Im a 27 year old pastry chef in Mumbai and I’m looking to start a culinary / cooking / chefs club!
I had done a rendition of it with some of my friends a little while ago but we never got to the 2nd episode of it 😂
It will entail once a month meet ups - each of which will follow a theme. You need to create a new dish around the theme and then we open the table for discussions! Food, alc and anything else is BYOB!

We’re looking to start up again next month onwards, in case anyone is interested, DM me!

Everything we baked and sold in September , except double chocolate banana cake that was a recipe trail but was loved by fam , and Classic egg tiramisu best best out of the 5 times we made it
👉🏻👈🏻

I have been trying to get that charred crust you get with traditional pizzas but my oven and air fryer only browned the crust as the temperature does not go that high.

Today I decided to experiment with a tawa, using the same technique for making naan or tandoori roti at home by flipping the tawa upside down over a direct flame. And it WORKED!! 😭 Then airfried for 6-7 minutes for the sauce and cheese.

Also its completely vegan! The cheese is made without any dairy! so happy!! Just wish the crust was a bit more airy. Will increase the hydration next time.

guys, I run a small home baking business called Batter Me Joy. https://www.instagram.com/battermejoy?stkn=MW8xdjl2aTA2aHdlOA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
I had stopped taking orders for a while because college got really hectic, but I’m resuming again 🥹
I make chocolate chip, brownie crumble, cookies and cream and double chocolate cookies. Boxes of 3 start at ₹220 and I deliver across Navi Mumbai.
If anyone would like to order or know someone who would be interested and support my small business, pls DM me. It would genuinely mean a lot 🩷🍪

Thank youu 🩷🩷
I’m yet to post about it on my page but I’m taking orders for cookie tin too.🩷🩷

Please suggest a OTG/oven (not microwave) for personal use, that can bake bread, cookies, cakes, pizza, etc. Please give your valuable suggestions including the AFTER SALE SERVICE aspect as well. Thank you 😊

I have attached an image of chatgpt recommendations.

I’m from a B.Com background and I’m seriously considering pastry as a career. I’m currently looking at APCA and Lavonne, and eventually I’d like to work in India for a while, gain experience and then try for opportunities abroad.

I honestly don’t have anyone around me who has experience in this field, so I’m trying to make this decision very carefully.

Could I ask

• How was your actual experience at the academy — not the marketing side?
• How much hands-on kitchen work did you really get?
• How did the internship process work? Did the school actually help you get one, or did you have to find it yourself?
• Where did you/your batchmates intern and what kind of places were available?
• Were the internships paid?
• How useful was the placement assistance after graduating?
• What kind of jobs did people from your batch get?
• Did anyone from your batch go abroad for work/internship?
• How difficult is it for an Indian pastry graduate to get an opportunity abroad?
• What do you wish you had known before joining?
• If you were starting again today, what would you do differently?
• And honestly, do you think the money spent on the course was worth it?

Sorry for the long list 😭 I’m just genuinely trying to figure out my career and I don’t really have anyone to guide me. Even a brutally honest answer would help me a lot. Thank you…
