WHAT I DON'T BAKE

I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T BAKE FONDANT or NOVELTY CAKES.

I unfortuantely don't bake custom, vegan or sugar free cakes. I only bake the cakes on my cake menu.

The cakes on my menu are ON POINT. I promise a flavour experience like you've never had before 🙂

The first 27 years of my life I was anxiously & vi

The first 27 years of my life I was anxiously & violently striving to be perfect. "Flaws are embarrassing. Mistakes will ruin you. Failure is unforgivable.⁠"
.⁠
No one says these things out loud. But we FEEL them, right?
.⁠
From my very first memories in my "physically impaired life" I can recall people looking at me funny.⁠
.⁠
"Why is she walking so weird?"⁠
"What's wrong with her arm?"⁠
"Why is she standing so skew?"⁠
.⁠
Flaws are embarrassing.⁠
.⁠
Therefore I, as a person, was embarrassing.⁠
.⁠
This dark belief haunted me for years. I tried to hide whatever I believed was imperfect about me in the hope that I'd someday convince people that I'm NORMAL.⁠
.⁠
I was trying to hide my external, physical imperfections. Meanwhile the real imperfections I was desperately trying to hide were actually INSIDE me.⁠
.⁠
In the process of hiding my external "flaws", I was hiding my true self as well.⁠
.⁠
And there's no life down that road! There's no future down that road!⁠
.⁠
Dear friend, we weren't born to hide.⁠
.⁠
It's 100% possible to miss your life's purpose because you're so busy trying to hide yourself & pretending to be like everyone else.⁠
.⁠
Your imperfections are part of your TRUE self.⁠
.⁠
Your imperfections are a VITAL part of your uniqueness. And it's your uniqueness that's your greatest superpower for meaning & success.⁠
.⁠
Please don't hide who you really are.⁠
.⁠
Because when you do, you'll forfeit the GRAND ADVENTURE and GLORIOUS FUTURE you were made for.⁠
.⁠
Your real LIFE will reveal itself on the path of being your imperfect self and sharing who you REALLY are with the world.⁠
.⁠
I'm not perfect. At all. Not my body, not my knowledge, my experience, skills or personality. I'm not perfect. And I'm proud of that.⁠
.⁠
I'm proud of being a work in progress and NOT having it all together.⁠
.⁠
How about you?⁠

"I put it off building my WEBSITE for over a year.

"I put it off building my WEBSITE for over a year... but I decided to just buck down and do it. Here's what's happened..." Keep reading to find out what's happened to Tiffany @therapie.llc 's Home Bakery since she's built her WEBSITE?

It's DAY 5/5 of my Home Bakery Mini Series and today's all about: 🌟WEBSITE TIPS🌟 👉TIP 1: "Isn't an Instagram or Facebook page like a website? WHY do I need a website?" No a Facebook or Instagram page is NOT like a website. The only thing that's "like a website" is a WEBSITE.

And here's why you NEED a website:

Have you ever been in a conversation where you tell people about your baking biz and then they love it so much that they ask for your business card... but then you don’t have one with you?! 😳

It feels embarrassing, doesn’t it?

Well, NOT having a website is the 21st Century equivalent of that!

Having a website communicates to clients that you take your Home Bakery very seriously and that you take them & their needs seriously as well.

Having a website communicates to people that you mean business! You absolutely need a website to get more sales & grow your business. 👉TIP 2: It's actually EASY to build your own website.

I totally understand that building a website feels overwhelming! But want to know a secret?... It's actually SUPER EASY. You can honestly create your own, FREE website in one afternoon!

Not kidding.

You can use this amazing online program called WIX. Wix is one of the most user friendly programs I've ever encountered!

There's a great tutorial on YouTube that shows you HOW to build your website step-by-step. DM me if you want the link! 👉TIP 3: Spell out your rules CLEARLY on your website.

We often get so frustrated when clients ask the same questions over & over again.

But if you want to save yourself HEAPS of time, spell out this info on your website so that there's ZERO confusion for your clients.

Oh and remember Tiffany @therapie.llc? Right now (during COVID-19) she has "So many online sales that I am exhausted from working so hard!" So YES, it's WORTH IT to build a website!! That concludes the Home Bakery Series, thanks for following along friend! 😊

Should you lower your prices when COVID-19 is over

Should you lower your prices when COVID-19 is over?? That's today's topic in Part 3 of my Home Bakery Mini-Series.⁠
⁠
So far we've covered:⁠
⁠
Part 1: How to not lose heart in these tough times.⁠
Part 2: How to get more clients & sales.⁠
⁠
It's SO important that we talk about your Home Bakery POST covid-19... Because that day is approaching FAST!⁠
⁠
So many people have lost their jobs and money is tighter than ever. So HOW do you handle this in your Home Bakery??⁠
⁠
I'm sure we can agree that cake is mostly considered more of a "luxury" than a "necessity", right? So does that mean that our services are LESS necessary now?⁠
⁠
NOT.⁠
AT.⁠
ALL.⁠
⁠
Friend, people need comfort & joy more than ever. And that's what we as home bakers bring to the people. That's our role in society.⁠
⁠
But giving discounts won't help your customers >> before you stone me, let me explain.⁠
⁠
1. As soon as you give discounts you're communicating to your clients that your baked goods are now WORTH LESS MONEY.⁠
⁠
2. When ANY food gets discounted, the human brain automatically assumes that it must be OLD or something else might be wrong with it.⁠
⁠
3. When you discount you're training your clients to wait for discounts before they buy from you again.⁠
⁠
BUT... that being said there's something ELSE you should do...⁠
⁠
GIVE MORE VALUE.⁠
⁠
Include some complimentary goodies when someone orders. Or do a buy one gift one special. Or do a giveaway.⁠
⁠
"15% off" communicates LESS value and wanting more sales for your own gain.⁠
⁠
But "get this extra thing FREE" communicates MORE value and generosity.⁠
⁠
Does this make sense?⁠

Today's all about getting MORE CLIENTS & SALES! Ye

Today's all about getting MORE CLIENTS & SALES! Yes please!

This is the 2nd post in my Home Bakery mini-series - right here on my Insta posts 😊🙌 Before I tell you what strategies ARE working for Home Bakeries right now, I GOTTA tell you about strategies that ARE NOT working.

Bakers tend to view business in a very outdated way. I did too at first!

They believe that there are 2 things you need to do to build a successful Home Bakery Business; bake the BEST treats & advertise them. This strategy may have worked in the 90’s, but it doesn't anymore!

Down that path the inevitable happens… no matter how hard we try, we just DON’T get more clients & sales.

It sucks!

And then we assume that the reason why it’s not working is because we:

A] Aren’t “good enough” bakers or
B] Aren’t spending enough money on advertising.

This is TOTAL GARBAGE my friend. You’re a victim of totally outdated information!

First of all I want to tell you that businesses don’t struggle because their products aren’t good enough. They also don’t struggle because they don’t advertise enough. And they definitely don’t struggle because they don’t spend “enough money” on advertising. 🌟 Truth is that if you’re baking DELICIOUS treats and aren't getting clients you have a MARKETING problem. NOT an advertising problem.

Advertising and marketing aren’t the same thing.

MARKETING is about the things you do to ATTRACT people to your business.

When you understand marketing and apply it effectively to your business you’re essentially turning your biz into a high-intensity MAGNET that attracts your ideal clients to you on autopilot.

But ADVERTISING is like deep sea fishing. You go OUT and hope to find clients. It’s stressful. It’s risky. And it gets expensive very fast! 👉 Honest truth: My Home Bakery has been fully booked 98% of the time (sometimes for 3 months in advance) with ZERO advertising. 👉 So if you want more clients & sales, learn about MARKETING asap! 👉 If you want me to point you to helpful marketing resources, send me a DM - I'd love to help! 😊

Tune in for the next post in the Home Bakery Mini-Series on 04/10: SHOULD BAKERS DROP THEIR PRICES AFTER COVID-19?? xxx

Oh come on, just be honest... You know it's true!

Oh come on, just be honest... You know it's true! 🤣⁠
⁠
I watched an Instagram live yesterday where Claire Saffitz (@csaffitz) interviewed @chefclaudiaflaming (author of The Last Course recipe book).⁠
⁠
It was such a fun conversation! And at one point they spoke about the simple beauty of a block of chocolate after a meal... And how NO meal is really complete without it!⁠
⁠
SO TRUE!⁠
⁠
For me it's usually a cookie 😊⁠
⁠
Whoever said dessert is only for after dinner can't be a very happy person.⁠
⁠
That's my 5 cents anyway! 🙌⁠

What's your favourite breakfast dessert??⁠

Need some encouragement & hope today friend? It's

Need some encouragement & hope today friend? It's DAY 1 of my Home Bakery Pop-Up series! We're kicking things off by talking about... 🌟 HOW TO NOT LOSE HEART IN THESE TOUGH TIMES.

Today I'm going to share my (very) personal perspectives with you. It might not be for everyone.

But if it's for YOU - I hope it blesses you 😊

Do you remember how all of us said (not too long ago) "2020 is going to be the BEST year EVER!"? So far things are NOT turning out as any of us expected or hoped they would, right?

It's a year of uncertainty, confusion and fear. Pretty sure those aren't ingredients for the "BEST year ever!" You may remember that about a week ago I was also feeling quite down. I felt scared & numb... The global COVID-19 stats and all the loss is just HEARTBREAKING. And as a Christian I just wasn't sure what FAITH looks like in a situation like this... Up until I was about 26 I thought that FAITH was about psyching myself up to be positive 24/7... If that meant ignoring my TRUE feelings in order to be positive, then so be it!

And if I can't manage to do that then God isn't going to come through. Resonate with this one?

One of the most valuable conversations I ever had with my late sister was about FAITH. She told me something that changed my life forever.

She said: "Faith means completely LEANING INTO God." Blind & forced optimism is NOT what God wants from us at all.

Look at David in the Psalms! He was HONEST with God about his anger, frustration, pain, shame... All the mess of reality. He shared it ALL with God. He didn't wait to "have it all together" or be "optimistic" before he went to God.

In all his doubt and mess, he LEANED INTO God's compassion and shared it all with Him.

And when he'd packed off all his inner turmoil at Gods feet, he leaned into GOD'S CHARACTER. He reminded himself of who God is and what He's done in the past.

THIS is faith.

To lean into God with all of your messy, brutal emotions... and then to gaze on who He is. In this place we are calibrated again. We become whole again and can once more function in a healthy way.

This is how we don't lose heart in tough times.

What do you think FAITH is, friend?

It's fascinating how your baking style can change over time. And honestly, MOST of the time it's been because something went WRONG and I had to improvise!⁠
⁠
Swipe to see my older to oldest versions of this same cake. EXACT same recipe, but the finish has evolved over time 😊⁠
⁠
Just last week the grocery store only had tiny strawberries, so I had to improvise and rethink my usual strawberry arrangement and you know what >> I like this version better! What do you think?⁠

With COVID-19 escalating you can FEEL the tension

With COVID-19 escalating you can FEEL the tension in the air. This past weekend my husband and I went to the V&A Waterfront - it was packed with thousands of people.

Usually you smell delicious food and the ocean at the Waterfront... now you smell hand-sanitizer and you can feel the underlying stress in everyone and how everyone is thinking: "Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to go out today... There are so many people here!"
and "I wonder if he has it... Or if she has it..." Here in South Africa we still seem to have a "bulletproof" mentality. We're already dealing with so much crime, economic and electricity issues that it makes us think that "surely COVID-19 won't be piled on top of all this?!" Just to paint a picture for you: between April 2016 - March 2017, over 19,000 people were murdered in South Africa alone. It's tragic and most of the world doesn't even know these facts.

Our beautiful country with its beautiful people deals with SO MUCH loss on a daily basis. I think we just can't fathom a world with EVEN MORE loss to be honest.

That being said, panic is rising.
Hand sanitizer and other essentials are also sold out here.
Schools are closing.
Public gatherings are being banned.

It seems like the world is changing day by day. And it's incredible how something as simple as going to a restaurant & eating a piece of cake is suddenly a HIGH RISK activity.

I just have 2 things for you to keep in mind during this stressful time:

1. Some of us respond with panic and others with ignorance/denial. Both of them are just the way we cope differently with stress. Please don't judge either response. One isn't "better" than the other.

2. Focus on the things you DO have control over and surrender the rest in prayer to the Father. Share all your anger, anxiety, etc. with the Lord. Be honest about how you're feeling and then turn your gaze towards Him. (Philippians 4:4-7). I'm determined to be alert about the TRUE medical facts (@doctor.mike is awesome for that!!), but to respond to the Father and not to fear.

And let's be KIND. Share your supplies where you can. Encourage and comfort.

We WILL get through this.
Let's take it one day at a time.

Larger body, smaller body and every single size of

Larger body, smaller body and every single size of body in between 👉 NONE of it makes you a better or worse person.⁠
⁠
Weight gain is often such a big concern for home bakers and today I want to speak up about what I believe.⁠
⁠
🍪 I believe that you DESERVE to ENJOY the incredible things you create! And honestly, no one who matters in your life is going to care if you weigh a bit more for it.⁠
⁠
🍪 You love baking and you love eating delicious baked goods, so be yourself and eat the freakin cookie!⁠
⁠
🍪 If we spent our energy and worry on being kinder (instead of being "thinner"), the world will be a much better place.⁠
⁠
How do you feel about this?⁠

If someone told me this 7 years ago I would've SLA

If someone told me this 7 years ago I would've SLAPPED them. Twice. "'You already are the best baker.' Hmpf! What a stupid thing to say." is what I would've thought.⁠
⁠
Truth is that THIS is the message I needed to hear the most 7 years ago...⁠
⁠
I always thought that "the best" is this universal thing. Like there's ONE BEST according to everyone and the rest doesn't matter much.⁠
⁠
I believed I had to bake "the best" cakes before my work would MEAN something to people.⁠
⁠
But let me ask you; Do you love your spouse/partner? Would you consider them "the best" person in the world? I'm sure you do!⁠
⁠
Now since your spouse/partner is "the best" person in the world, does that mean everyone else has "2nd-best" or "98th-best" spouses/partners?⁠
⁠
No!! Of course not!⁠
⁠
🌟 Because "BEST" IS SUBJECTIVE TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON!⁠
⁠
Right now, there are SCORES of people in your town/city for whom YOUR baking will be exactly their idea of "the best THEY'VE ever had!"⁠
⁠
Don't assume that everyone likes exactly the same things. Because they don't.⁠
⁠
👉 There are loads of people out there for whom you ARE the best baker in THEIR world.⁠

"So Aurelia, what did YOU do this weekend?" Truth:

"So Aurelia, what did YOU do this weekend?" Truth: I bought groceries. Did laundry. Played WAY MORE of a cooking game on my phone than I'm willing to admit. I snuggled Kitty. And whistled songs from Hello Dolly while cooking 😬⁠
⁠
I used to think that I need to have this super exciting and interesting life for people to be interested in what I have to say & share. But most of my existence is really quite ORDINARY and well, boring.⁠
⁠
Truth, MOST of us are actually normal and boring!⁠ Most of us have a plain "vanilla" kind of life. And vanilla is GOOD!⁠
⁠
👉 Please don't wait to have a "more interesting day" or "more fancy bake" before you share something on your feed or stories.⁠
⁠
Your talents matter.⁠
Your message matters.⁠
Your baking matters.⁠
Your "boring" life matters.⁠
YOU matter.⁠
⁠
Just wanted to remind you of that today 😊

"I HAVE to become like Cake Boss to make clients h

"I HAVE to become like Cake Boss to make clients happy."⁠
"My success depends on how well I can copy Pinterest cakes that clients send me."⁠
"Why can't I be more like X, Y and Z baker??"⁠
⁠
These are just a few of the thoughts that used to swim around in my head every day... All day...⁠
⁠
Maybe you get them too?⁠
⁠
We see other bakers' success and assume that the secret MUST be to bake exactly what they are baking.⁠
⁠
The irony was that even though I gave it my ALL to "bake cakes like Cake Boss", the success just did NOT come! No matter how many cakes I copied, I couldn't become those bakers. I couldn't replicate their success.⁠
⁠
>> I may have been putting on a Cake Boss jacket on the outside, but underneath that jacket I was actually still just Aurelia.⁠
⁠
Un-confident, insecure Aurelia who had NO idea who she was as a person and baker. I was spending all my time trying to become someone else.⁠
⁠
I thought the secret to success was to just NOT be ME. "No one's interested in the real you. The real you is BORING."⁠
⁠
These are all LIES my friend.⁠
⁠
Trying to become someone you're NOT has NO END. It will keep you stuck in a circle of misery.⁠
⁠
And truth it that it's impossible to feel confident when you're busy trying to be someone you're not. You can literally only be confident in YOURSELF.⁠
⁠
Confidence means believing 100% that you are EXACTLY who you're meant to be.⁠
⁠
Your BEST CHANCE at success lies in completely being yourself in your baking. The more you become yourself in every area of your life, the more success will follow.⁠
⁠
You are 100% MEANT to be YOU.⁠

"What would you do if someone handed you $10,000 t

"What would you do if someone handed you $10,000 to invest in your business?" I recently heard this question from @jasminestar and it sent my mind RACING!

Do ANY of us have a problem coming up with ideas of what to do with the money? Not at all! 😂

Maybe you're having LOADS of ideas like:
> I'll finally take that Instagram course I've had my eye on so that I can sell more baked goods on social media!
> Its about time to get myself those books on marketing that I know will revolutionize my business!
> Maybe I'll invest in that bigger mixer so that I can mix up more bakes with less effort!

And then the conversation took another turn... She went on to say: "All those things you'd invest in if someone gave you free money are the things YOU should be investing in right now." WHOA! 😲

And then it occurred to me... If we're not willing & eager to invest our own money into ourselves and our business, how can we expect anyone else to invest in us?

I spent the first 4 YEARS of my Home Bakery Business waiting and hoping that someone will see my potential and decide to invest in my baking business!

I had ZERO money to invest in my business. Instead we had $40,000 of student debt and a year of sleeping on single mattresses on the floor during our first year of marriage.

Going back to a job in architecture wasn't an option for me due to anxiety. My home bakery business simply HAD to work.

On several occasions I made the CHOICE to borrow the money I needed to in order to invest in myself and my business. The CHOICE to invest in myself completely transformed my life and my homer bakery... And I shudder to think of where I'd be today if I didn't make that choice.

You don't need to wait for a random millionaire or family members or rich friends to invest in you!

If we're not willing & eager to invest our own money into ourselves and our business, how can we expect anyone else to invest in us?

You don't need to keep waiting and hoping for money to fall into your lap. You don't need external investors in order to be successful.

Be your own best and biggest investor! 🙌

Do you struggle & wrestle with perfectionism?? Las

Do you struggle & wrestle with perfectionism?? Last week I shared a bit about my personal struggle with perfectionism on my stories. I actually took an Enneagram personality test and discovered I'm 99% perfectionist 😳 Oh dear.⁠
⁠
And you know what? It seems like pretty much ALL of us HOME BAKERS are perfectionists in one way or another!⁠
⁠
People tell us all the time how much they enjoy our bakes, but all we can see are the flaws and how we could improve.⁠
⁠
I feel your struggle friend.⁠
⁠
There's one super effective antidote I've discovered though. Here it is: Focus on your CLIENTS. Remember the people you're serving.⁠
⁠
And they don't expect you to be perfect. They're not even 1% as harsh as you are on yourself. They aren't YOU.⁠
⁠
They have no idea when things aren't totally perfect! They just want you to show up and help them as best you can 😊⁠
⁠
Are you going to join me in not letting our own expectations stop us from helping & serving the people we CAN help & serve?⁠
