They say that good things come in small packages, and well, great cupcakes come out of my extremely small production space! I currently work out of my studio sized apartment. I can't say that it's not challenging working in such a small space, especially with next to nothing storage. As a baker, I go through tons of sugar & flour, and ideally I'd love to buy my ingredients in bulk, but unfortunately due to lack of storage space, I have to stick with the regular sizes. Just like I dream of my perfect cupcake café, I also dream of the perfect stock room! I would kill it with organization! (slightly OCD)
Now that you've seen the size of my kitchen, you can understand why I require 3 weeks’ notice for orders! I've had to turn down orders before because people ask me literally days before. Sometimes it works out that I'm free and able to do it, but most of the time I already have orders lined up, which makes it impossible to tackle multiple orders in that small space with no notice! Having to say no to somebody, is probably one of the worst feelings I've experienced, but at the same time I need to stick to my guns and respect my policy!
