I've ordered from Brownie God as a gift for someone and then someone ordered me one as a gift. Both my experience as a customer and a receiving as a gift were amazing! They taste UNREAL

True say, what do women actually want? Stability and freedom

[buzzytrombone]

This is a good example of using the talent you have to the world wide web and staying on the safe side with it.

[AmiyaKyu]

Seriously I salute her for telling her mom that she want to bake.. because I still can't even have a good conversation with my mom about my future in a good way..

[lazypanda]

It's good to see a tik toker with actual talent getting paid for her hard work n not for just standing n making faces

[halimaaargh]

Aww good for her 🙂 I wish her and her mother all the best with the business. Baking can be arduous, and decorating even more so- and it's a competitive business!

Great story and motivating too but just want to point out that not everyone is this lucky to getting such a big following, I know so many bakers who market themselves well online, have delicious bakes but they don’t make enough to live off that money and they most definitely don’t bake every day. Sometimes they have to turn orders down because they are so exhausted from baking and decorating. The video mentions working long hard hours at the start before it all picked up even more, be sure to remind yourself that working hard long hours doesn’t always = results when it comes to baking and selling your own bakes. Working smart is vital rather than working hard.

So although the idea of freedom coming from baking from home and doing your own thing is great and TRUE, baking is definitely NOT a get rich quick scheme. It’s actually SUPER hard since supermarkets are your competition as well as local bakers and when you start you are pretty much your own photography team, research team, marketing team, social media management team, one baker, one decorator, own accountant and ALL of that. You have to be making a certain amount to then hire an accountant or get a unit, and then even consider a baking assistant etc., and sometimes you just won’t be able to pay another a living wage from what you make. BURN OUT is a real thing too so although making so many X items and X price will get you this much money.... you will pretty much be overly exhausted when working alone at the start. Also if you bake you will know how expensive baking can be and then decorating equipment and rolls and all those ‘small things’ add to all of that too. If you see this and get inspired, go through with your dream ♥️ but do NOT fall in to the trap of thinking it is EASY because nothing usually is. 1. Your bakes could be delicious 2. Your photos might be great too and designs but 3. Social media algorithms don’t work based on your bts hard work, 4. There’s a system online for who’s account gets more attention but half the time it’s pure luck on tiktok. Be sure to do RESEARCH before you suddenly start a business and have CLEAR GOALS with an action plan to actually reach those goals! If social media works out then great but don’t rely on it entirely as it may not work out. Remember followers DON’T = paying client. 👍🏼
Hope no one feels disheartened by reading this but wanted to point out that it’s not as easy or simple as this video may make baking for a living appear. ♥️

Btw I DO know successful full time local bakers who bake for a living and use social media, but have also seen the other end of the spectrum as well as the in between where baker friends have SHOWSTOPPING cakes and bakes but their followers are minimal but their real life customers are regular and they’re doing well, as well as those who’s bakes are great, photos are great but the following is average and there’s repeat customers but not enough to make a living out off. Be sure to have a realistic PLAN in place if you give this a shot and don’t be intimidated, the food industry is LARGE but there’s a space for everyone depending on what they have to offer. 💪🏼♥️👩🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳

Ps. For anyone wondering, YES I know all this since I have my own small business in Blackburn @zofis_cakery working from home where I bake part time alongside my full time job at school. Similar info like this should be available on Quora with various people’s own expeiences with various perspective, one person described being self employed almost being like ‘self inflicted slavery’ because of the EXTRA hours and NOT enough pay... that hit home as I realised how much I’m working and now I’m working less and being now kind to my body since the body NEEDS rest. I mean sounds cool saying you are a boss right? But you can even come to hate your small business if it makes you overly stressed and tired and takes too much time away from your life especially if you are doing it all ALONE. Another advice I would give is, maybe make a LIST of WHAT is important to you before you start up e.g. family time, going out with friends, time to just rest, breathe, peace, minimal stress levels of anything you can think of so you can work on YOU, your LIFE as well as your business without one taking over the other. BALANCE is key here even though at first that may be difficult to achieve.

Hope all those reading can benefit from this essay I wrote hehe. Got a little carried away when I saw this because I thought ‘ oh gosh unless you are a baker, you will NOT be able to see the not so glam side of it as well.’

And for those throwing hate on this video being a show of, don’t be sour, it is most likely a reflection of your own personal feelings/satisfaction with life which is more common than you might think. If other people being happy/successful triggers you, that’s a YOU PROBLEM and you need to be thinking.... WHY is this making me want to say this/feel this way, it isn’t good for your heath to be so bitter as you can increase your stress and you’ll walk around feeling miserable when you could be enjoying and appreciating things you already have in your life .
Well now, have a lovely day all ☺️💜

Just found out today she's muslim, makes me happy to see how well her business is doing😁

[dunkyourdonuts]

When she disclosed her following number I was quite surprised because it was actually lower than I imagined (I mean some meme pages and pages who just steal this kind of content and reupload them have over millions) but props to her, I know some local Bakers who started like her and now have multiple stores across the country. To be fair though, a career like hers might sound really appealing, but when you own your own business especially f&b- you literally don't have time to live a life, you work long hours, the baking and decorating starts becoming tedious, and all the money you earn goes back into your business anyways, it's not something you'd wanna do unless you actually have a passion for what you're doing.

[marymojsovski]

Tell you passion in life and having parent back you up can be what you want in life

[amelarmeliana]

Stability and freedom. Yes!! That's my goals too.
