Most Bakers Are Taught Recipes — Not Business
Hi, I'm Marcia — I ran big-box retail for 21 years, then went all in on baking
I spent 21 years running operations for big-box retailers — Big Lots, Bed Bath & Beyond, Rickel's. Managing teams, reading the reports, running the systems that keep a real business profitable. Baking started as a part-time passion on the side — I even spent time working in two bakeries, which shaped how I run my own business today — then 19+ years ago I went all in.
When I started, there was nowhere to learn the business side. No pricing guides, no how-tos, no channels — just Duff and Cake Boss showing you cake could become edible art. Beautiful and inspiring, but nobody taught you how to actually run it like a business. So I used everything I'd learned in retail and figured it out myself — the slow, expensive way.
I've been where you are: undercharging, overwhelmed, saying yes to everything. That's exactly why I built SweetTube Academy — so new bakers finally have one place to find the real, valuable info I never had. Pricing, systems, and the business know-how that turns a hobby into a profitable business. Consider me the mentor I wish I'd had.
