In my opinion, YES.  The majority of folks who’ve had any type of food made with fresh, quality ingredients can taste the difference.  Particularly if their taste buds have become accustomed to top-drawer cuisine.

There is a noticeable difference in the taste of a dessert/pastry made with:  pure butter vs. margarine or shortening, pure vanilla extract vs. imitation vanilla and fresh eggs vs. frozen or powdered.  The hang-up for most bakers is the difference in cost.  Pure butter, pure vanilla extract, fresh eggs, quality chocolates, etc. almost always cost more than imitations or inferior products.

I think most of us, including our customers, would agree that there’s no substitute for quality. This goes for ingredients and workmanship.  By the way, when you produce a top notch product, it’s expected that the price will be comparable to the quality.

So, if at all possible, position your products in the marketplace as:  freshly made from scratch with high quality ingredients.  It’s worth the extra cost.  You’ll be rewarded with happy, repeat customers.

Happy Baking!

When I decided to start this blog, I pondered for quite some time about what subject would be most fitting. After much thought, I decided to start at the beginning. At the point where you’re

considering whether a home-baking business would be a good choice for you.

I can say from experience that starting and operating a home baking business can be simple, but not necessarily easy. On the brighter side, this business can be fun, creative and profitable. It’s the kind of business that requires passion, dedication and a willingness to learn.

Join us. Get started today with creating your own experiences. I look forward to reading your comments; and I wish you much success!
