For Home Bakers Who Love Baking, But Don’t Want to Figure Out the Business AloneÂ
Hi, I’m Michelle!
I’ve been running my home bakery for over 17 years. And let me tell you, loving baking and knowing how to run a baking business are two very different things.
I’ve underpriced, I’ve overworked, I’ve said yes when I should’ve said no.
I’ve laid in bed wondering if I was doing any of it right.
And for a long time, I thought everyone else had it figured out except me. They didn’t. And neither do most home bakers. That’s exactly why I created
The Baker’s Library.
You’re Not Behind. You’re Just Doing This Alone.
Most of us started our bakeries because we love to bake. Not because we had a business degree.
So we figure it out as we go.
We Google.
We overthink.
We compare.
We question our pricing.
We wonder if we’re posting too much… or not enough.
We worry about competitors.
We try to do everything at once.
And some days we just wish someone would say, “You’re not crazy. This is hard. And you’re going to be okay.”Â
The Baker’s Library is that place.Â
“Just joined… What was I waiting for? Love the deep down honesty!”

What The Baker’s Library Is Actually About
It’s not just a pile of videos, it’s a room full of bakers who are asking the same questions you are.
The same struggles and asking the same questions:
“Should I raise my prices?”
“Why did that not sell?”
“How do I grow without burning out?”
Inside the Library, you’ll find:
On-Demand Video Trainings
Real conversations about:
- Pricing
- Competition
- Social Media
- Venues & Pop-ups
- Wholesale
- Boundaries
- Balancing Home and Bakery Life
- What To Do When You Mess Up (because you will)
No fluff. No hype. Just real-life experience from someone who’s been there.
Guides and Worksheets
The things I wish I had when I started:
- Pricing help
- Marketing tips
- Farmer’s market checklist
- Freezing guide
- Common scams
- Tax write-offs home bakers miss
- Selling tips
- Photography help
- Venue planning tools
- Bakery supply list
These aren’t pretty-for-the-sake-of-pretty PDFs. They’re practical.
 Recipes That Actually Sell
Not just “cute recipes.”
These are the recipes that sold for me at coffee shops and farmer’s markets — with the tweaks that made them work.
Because what sells in real life is different than what looks good online.
The Quarterly Meetup (My Favorite Part)
Every quarter, we meet live. You bring:
- Your questions
- Your wins
- Your frustrations
- Your “what in the world do I do now?” moments
And we talk through them together. Not in a scary spotlight way, but in a “bakers around the table” way.
You’ll also hear from two guest speakers each quarter and honestly? They inspire me every single time!
Every guest reminds us:
- There is more than one way to build a bakery
- You don’t have to copy anyone
- You get to build something that fits your life
Binge It or Go Slow
Some members join and binge everything in a week, some watch one video a month.
Both are right!Â
This isn’t homework, it’s support when you need it.
What Changes When You Join
You won’t suddenly become perfect.
But you will:
- Feel more confident about your pricing
- Stop second-guessing every decision
- Save time because you’re not reinventing the wheel
- Feel less alone
- Start building a bakery that works for your family, not against it
And maybe most importantly? You’ll realize you’re not the only one figuring this out as you go.
This Is For You If…
- You love baking but feel unsure about the business side
- You want real answers — not just internet opinions
- You’re tired of comparing
- You want encouragement without sugarcoating
- You want to grow the right way
This is not for someone looking for a shortcut or overnight success. This is for bakers who want to build something solid.

Why I Created This
For years, I felt like I was doing this alone. And I don’t want other bakers to feel that way.
The Baker’s Library is everything I wish I had when I was:
- Raising kids
- Running markets
- Baking wholesale
- Trying to set boundaries
- Learning how to price
- Figuring out how to grow without losing myself
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
