Hello!

My name is Adrienne

I am a Cottage Baker located in Hampton Roads area of Virginia

I have been baking off and on since 2003.

My baking business just turned 6.

Butterbase has the potential to be everything Bakers need.

A 1 stop shop for all things for our businesses. I’m just glad this came across my TikTok fyp.

The most recent thing I baked was our often request Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies. I made my own into an Icecream sandwich

Hi! I’m Jessie, baking from my home in Michigan. I love baking breads and pastries, and I am obsessive about a good bagel! I’ve been hobby baking and dreaming of a bakery for years; my cottage bakery is new this year and I’m excited to see it grow! I’m hoping butterbase can help keep me organized as we grow, and help me set prices based on actual data rather than vibes alone ( my current process). Fun fact: I teamed up with a friend and we took a leap of faith and joined our small city’s farmers market for the summer!

Hi, I’m Jada! I’m based in South Jersey, and I love to make cupcakes, cakes, and cookies. I am currently just a hobbyist, but I think Butterbase could provide what I would need to turn it into a small business :smile:

Hello, I’m Will,
I’m a cottage baker from the state of Michigan and the process of starting a business legally as an LLC .
I don’t really specialize in anything cuz I’m just starting off I mostly make cookies right now.
I’m between a hobbyist and a professional I love baking but I’m turning this into an actual business.
I’m hoping butter base helps me keep track of my expenses and prices for everything and help me keep inventory if possible.
I just created my first what I call a flirt muffin or flirt cake it’s a what is called a “Slutty brownie” but it’s in the shape of a muffin with homemade vanilla buttercream, and I’m not a big fan of it’s original name so I’ve renamed it to flirt cake

Hi! Amny here. Baking in Canada, I specialize in cronuts! I have a diploma in pastry arts and have been in the field for 7+ years.

I suck at costing and it feels like such a chore. Butter base seems so simple and straight forward so I’m exciting to start as a starter and hopefully jump into a higher tier when I get the ball rolling.

Fun fact! I have a hairless cat, named boots!

Hi everyone,

My names is Beks - I’m from England (I live in a little village in Buckinghamshire)
I specialise in gluten-free baking
I’m a hobbyist in the process of setting up a honesty stand (bread shed) outside my home
I’m hoping Butterbase can help me with pricing my products so I’m making a decent profit as gluten-free ingredients tend to be more expensive, and also there’s not many people providing gluten-free options (the supermarket gluten-free bread is rubbish!)
I’m currently loving baking gluten-free focaccia

What is up?

I am from Texas. Mainly like to bake some simple cookies. Still a noob. I discovered this website from a Facebook comment. I already like that I can log items and recipes and easily scale them up. Maybe it will help me start a small business. Hope everyone enjoys baking.
