How I started my own baking business – a blog post

Hi everyone! My name is Lia, I'm fifteen, and I live in Modi'in. This is

my first blog post, so I want to tell you how a hobby became a small

business.

It all started during the summer holidays last year. I was bored, so I

began baking cookies with my grandmother's old recipe book. My family loved

them, and soon my parents' friends were asking for them too. One day, our

neighbour asked if she could order forty cookies for her son's birthday

party. She paid me 120 shekels. That was the moment I thought, "Maybe I can

do this for real."

Of course, starting a business at fifteen is not simple. First, I had to

talk to my parents. They agreed, but they had three rules: school comes

first, I must keep the kitchen clean, and I can only bake on weekends. Then

I needed money for ingredients and boxes. My dad lent me 500 shekels, and I

promised to pay him back in three months. (I did it in two!)

Next, I opened an Instagram page called "Lia's Kitchen." I took photos

of my cookies and brownies in natural light near the window, because my

friend said it makes food look better. She was right. In the first month I

got twelve orders, mostly from people in my neighbourhood.

Not everything went well. Once I burned a whole tray of brownies an hour

before a customer came to collect them. I had to bake everything again very

fast, and I was almost late. Another time, I forgot to write down an order,

and a customer waited for nothing. I felt awful, so I gave her a free box.

Now I keep a notebook with every order and its date.

Today I bake about sixty cookies every Friday. I've saved enough money

for a new mixer, and I'm planning to try cakes for the holidays. My advice

to other teens? Start small, be honest with your customers and don't be

afraid of mistakes. I made plenty, and I learned something from every one of

them.
