Blog 13: Senior Project 2-Hour House Meeting #1

1. My first answer for my essential question (What is most important in owning a successful bakery?) is having a variety in baked goods in your bakery.

2. Most consumers get "bored" of the same type of bread and other baked goods, such as the ones that appear at supermarket bakeries. The baked goods found in these bakeries are rushed, and poorly baked, and barely any variety in them.

3. One of my sources for this is this website: http://www.bakeryguidebook.com/ I found it amazing, it has so much information in what you need and suggest more sources to check it. It's a Guide Book told in a few paragraphs, and state many key facts and tips.
