The role of a baker is equivalent to that of a creator. Bakers literally create beauty out of 'powdered raw materials' and that is something to be proud of.
I challenge you today to hold your head high and be the proud Baker that you truly are❤

𝘿𝘼𝙄𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙐𝙎𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎!

Yesterday I said I will start posting daily business affirmations on my Stories from today. Well, I'm putting up the first post on my feed so everyone can see it, subsequent ones will be on my story.

If you're into business and intentional about your business, I'd love you to go through my stories every day, so you don't get to miss out from any 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 word for you and your business. It might seem not to be working from the beginning but with time, it'll drive negative thoughts from your mind and replace them with words that'd always help you take action.

Thank you for reading through and acting.

Do have a lovely Day!

I've been on Holiday away from town since the close of the Session(so you dunno I'm a student?😎)
I needed time and space to cool my head off from the stress associated with the session and business(this particular one stress gan).

I couldn't do business since I was away, fortunately for me, my lovely customers understood and are all waiting for me to come back so they can choke me with their orders😂

𝐃uring my stay in the house, I became intentional about the words I consume and profess...I'm a perfectionist so I tend to talk myself down whenever I don't do anything to my satisfaction. Gradually I started unlearning them, instead of condemning, I criticize and give myself room for improvement and it's been mentally satisfying..my business means so much to me and I don't take chances with it because I want my customer to always feel the love while consuming any of my products.

𝐈've had this idea of posting daily words of Affirmation on my story to always keep me on track. In this our present economy, trust me you don't want to be going through series of mental breakdown..I will start posting from tomorrow and I hope you go through them everyday because they'll really help keep you on track.

It's Saturday today and I'll be teaching us how to make the popular African Buns Snack.
Get your pen and paper ready!😍

Buns are popular snacks all over Nigeria.
I like to call them quick snacks to "puff puff"(another popular Nigerian snack) because of how fast they are been produced unlike the regular puff puff that takes time.

Buns are deep fried just like Puff Puff but do not absorb as much Oil as the Puff puff.

Buns are so delicious when served hot or at room temperature.
They can be served in parties, breakfast, anniversaries etc.

Ingredients

2 Cups All-purpose Flour
3 Tablespoon Sugar(or to your taste)
11/2 Teaspoon baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Egg(optional)
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Milk
A pinch of nutmeg
3/4 cup of water
1 Teaspoon Milk Flavour
Vegetable oil enough for deep frying

Instructions

1. Mix the Flour, Sugar, Baking powder and Salt together in a bowl.

2. Add the butter and mix together until combined

3. Create a well in the middle of the bowl and crack in your eggs, the liquid milk and mix together...then gradually add your water till you get a "not too soft" and "not to hard" consistency.

4. Knead on a dry surface for 5mins(if you want to get a smooth buns) if otherwise, knead for just 2mins..put the dough back in a bowl and let it rest for 5mins.

5. Use your hand to mold the dough in form of little buns.

6. Deep fry in a pan with oil with minimal heat until Golden brown.

You can multiply the recipe if you want to make in large quantity.

1. It can be served as breakfast with hot tea/coffee
2. It can also be eaten as a snack with your favorite soft drink/smoothie/ yoghurt et al.

It's TASTEMoney Time!!

My Journey as a baker wasn't pre-meditated/planned, I just became it and it has been one the best decisions in life.

The science and art of baking is fun but it's funner(if there's such word😎)when I get reviews from my customers without even asking..It encourages me to do everything within my power to give them the best always!!

Thank our beautiful customers for always getting our back!

Astroflavo Loves you!♥️😍

The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight...

Breadmaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells... there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of
meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.

M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating

This quote is everything about bread making, I felt every single word in my bone marrow😂

The Art of bread making is therapeutic!

We bake bread right!

TYPES OF BUTTERCREAM.

Buttercream, also referred to as butter icing or frosting, is used for either filling, coating or decorating cakes. The main ingredients are butter and confectioner sugar. Buttercream is commonly flavored with vanilla. Other common flavors are chocolate, fruits, among others.

There are different types of buttercream but there are three common buttercream recipe namely;

• American buttercream
It's made with powdered sugar, butter and liquid. Very sweet, creamy and the most stable in warm temperatures due to the high amount of sugar

• Swiss-meringue buttercream
It is made by combining meringue with whipped butter and extracts. This buttercream is not very sweet and very light. Can be very soft. Most professional bakers use this.

• Italian-meringue buttercream.
It's made by pouring boiled sugar into whipping meringue. This produces the most stable and light buttercream frosting but is a little bit trickier to make.

Hope you got value?

As a beginner baker,there are things we just naturally don't do right because we're still looking out for customers..
This will help you in your journey, so avoid the mistakes.
1. Underpricing your product works very well at attracting customers especially when you sell quality products because customers like awoof and don't care if you're loosing.
2. Letting your customers dictate for you how you run your business will only lead you to frustration.
Map out things like your pricing list, delivery days, ordering days and time, so they don't overwhelm.
People respect an organized business.
3. Don't say you will know how to calculate it, your brain is not a calculator..you have many things running through that brain so start writing those sales, profit and expenses now to know how profitable your business is.
You can also open a different account for your business.
