We have almost a month left before one of the biggest holidays for desserts arrives, so it's time to get prepared. πŸ¦ƒπŸ—

 I always recommend buying your ingredients in bulk ahead of time. Don't be that one person looking for butter, and all you get is that off brand margarine that tastes like old refrigerator. 🀒

I listed the most commonly used ingredients that I buy for holiday baking, 

What do you usually buy?
Here's what others aren't telling you...πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

The reason why your macarons keep breaking at the slightest touch is because you over folded the macaron batter. 

For more macaron tips and tricks, comment the word: TIP, and I'll send you my FREE macaron troubleshooting guide: The Macaron Blueprint 

When you over fold, the meringue in the macaron batter breaks down, and it causes the macaron batter to loosen and spread during baking. This leads to fragile or wrinkled macaron shells. πŸ˜”

Here's how to correctly fold the macaron batter: 
After you have gently folded the dry ingredients, continue folding until it looks like a fairly thick cake batter. When you scoop some of the batter up and it falls from the spatula at a steady pace without it breaking, STOP βœ‹πŸ½ πŸ›‘ folding immediately.

You can also use the figure 8 test; if you can make one figure 8 in the bowl when the macaron batter falls from the spatula, it's ready to pipe.

Just keep practicing. You will get it eventually. 

As always, if you have any questions, please ask. I'm here to help. πŸ₯°
How does someone go from hating work to loving a passion? πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

4 years ago, I was stuck at a job for 10 years, and I absolutely hated it. And even though I started my passion for baking as a side hustle while working, I still felt frustrated that I couldn't just quit.

Then, in 2020, I lost the job that I hated and pursued a career that I loved. 

It's not just about the delicious treats--it's about the science, the creativity & how it can truly transform your life, like it did mine.

Now, I'm here to share everything I've learned along the way. Whether you're just starting out or have been baking for years, I'm here to help you grow your skills and fall in love with baking all over again. 

Let's bake something amazing together. ❀️

I have created beautiful dessert tables for many events over the years, but weddings are my absolute favorite. πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

Since I set up a few hours before the event, I usually see the bride after the wedding, or I get a quick glance at her when she's taking pictures.

This time, I was able to see the brides facial expression when she saw the table, and she was thrilled with the outcome. πŸ₯° 

The venue provided the stunning rustic themed table decor, and I set up the desserts. Together, our creativity gave a long-lasting memory for the couple on their wedding day.

Thanks so much @katebarker97 for letting Elegant Impressions Bakery help you celebrate!

I'm completely mind-blown that some bakers don't know this.🀯😳

Share this with your baker friends who are way too nice..πŸ™ƒ

Honey.. It's ok to say no! It's impossible to take everyone's order, and please stop feeling bad when you say the 2 letter N word because a client is asking for something your baking business doesn't offer.

☝🏽 Here's an idea, let's say "no" without saying "no." 

Check it out. Say these replies instead:

βœ…οΈ "Unfortunately, we don't offer those services. However, we do offer this" (here's your chance to talk about what you do have, maybe something similar to what the client is looking for)

βœ…οΈ "It would have been my pleasure to provide desserts for you, but I don't offer (whatever it is they need), but I can recommend another local baker that does." (One of my favorites, you can pass the job on to one of your baker friends. Most likely, they will do the same for you. And it saves the client time  from looking elsewhere)

βœ…οΈ "My apologies, I am not available on that day due to another scheduled event. However, I am available on (another day), and I would be more than happy to assist you then." (This lets the client know that even though you are busy that day, you still want to help them in the future).

It's all about communicating, having good customer service, and remaining professional. That will really help your business in the long run.

If you are a baker who is tired of the long process of making multiple macaron batches for different colors, this is for you. 

You can actually use the same method for more than 2 colors. Use the same process of measuring the weight of your mixing bowl with and without the macaron batter and subtracting those amounts from each other. 

Take that amount and divide it by the number of colors you will be using:
βž—οΈβž–οΈ Here's an example of the math:

Bowl measurements without batter: 789g
Bowl measurements with batter: 1359

1359-789 = 570g
You need 3 colors:
570g Γ· 3 =190grams

You need 190 grams of macaron batter in 3 bowls to make 3 colors.

Now, the measurements of each bowl may not be exact, but try to get it as close as you can.

Having approximate even measurements can prevent you from over folding your divided batter.

Do this method only AFTER the dry ingredients have been mixed into the meringue and BEFORE you complete the macaronage.

When you try this out, you will save lots of time. I use this method for multiple colors and flavors for orders and farmers markets.

I get itβ€”customers sometimes ask you to recreate another baker’s design or recipe. It can feel flattering, right? ☺️ But here’s why I never copy another baker’s work, and why you shouldn’t either.πŸ™…πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

When you copy, you're not only taking away from your own creativity, but you're also missing the chance to create something that represents you and your style. 

Customers may think they want the exact same thing, but what they’ll really appreciate is the unique touch you bring to their order. That’s what will keep them coming back for more.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Crucial info macaron bakers need to know. 

It's Macaron Monday, and I have a tip if you are struggling with making bright white macarons.

Use these 2 ingredients before the macaronage stage.
1️⃣. A small dab of purple gel food coloring. Put a very small amount  to the tip of the toothpick. Add it to your macaron batter.

2️⃣ White gel food coloring. Squeeze at least 8-10 drops in your macaron batter after adding the purple coloring.

I know you are like, "Dee. That sounds amazing, but how can I keep up with posting to my stories? I don't want to post about the same things every day."

Part 3: Best ingredients to use when making macarons.

πŸ‘ŽπŸ½ I don't agree with using ANY kind of food coloring when making macarons, and here's why...

I've seen some folks use the basic liquid food coloring that you would pick up from the grocery store, and they wonder why their macaron shells are wrinkled and weak. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

✨️ One of the golden rules when making macarons is to NEVER add any liquid to the meringue, especially if you add too much of it. This can cause the meringue to deflate, which is a culprit of macarons. πŸ˜’

πŸ‘πŸ½ So, use GEL food coloring instead. It's a thicker consistency than the liquid food coloring, and you can use a nice amount for the vibrant colors you desire.

πŸ‘πŸ½ Powdered food coloring is a good option as well.

The brands that I love to use for coloring my macs are @americolor and @chefmaster.

Happy Macaron Monday!
Myth: The only way to make more money in your home bakery is to bake more. πŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸ³πŸ§

Truth: Absolutely not. You will experience the bakers burnout before you realize it. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Trust me, I know all about putting that work in and feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated, especially when sales in my home bakery didn't get to where I expected. πŸ˜₯

Fancy friend, this is why I changed the formula in my business: creating less physical products and adding more digital products, which gives me more financial freedom and stability.

Picture this: you are going through a slow season with your desserts, but you aren't stressing because you just made some extra money in your sleep with the digital products that you offer. πŸ’€πŸ˜΄

And you know damn well we need our beauty sleep honey. πŸ’…

So here's how I made an extra $250 in less than 30 days of selling dessert care cards (a very popular digital product). And it didn't require any measuring, mixing, or standing in a hot ass kitchen messing up my feet...

I joined the best digital product course on the planet, Digital Wealth for Bakers, aka DWB.

Digital Wealth for Bakers is more than your average course. It’s a community for bakers built by amazing baking instructors who've made over 6 figures without selling desserts.

 They give you the knowledge on how to:
βœ…οΈ Create your own digital products 
βœ…οΈ Email marketing 
βœ…οΈ Get into Affliate marketing programs with your favorite businesses (to make even more πŸ€‘πŸ’ΈπŸ’²) 
βœ…οΈ Sell your digital products on Facebook and Instagram
AND MUCH MORE!

πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ DWB will definitely change your ways of thinking that you HAVE to come up with more "trending" flavors for your desserts to make more money. This community has helped me tremendously, and I know it can do the same for you.

All you have to do is comment the word "Wealth" and I will send you the πŸ”— to my FREE guide: Make More Dough without Making More Dough.
This guide explains everything you need to know about DWB and how to make more money in your baking business with digital products.

Let's go, friend. We want you to win! See you on the other side! πŸ₯°
