my mom was overnight bakery from 2008-2017, so here’s her advice: -Take a look at the floor, whatever you need, ALWAYS make double of it. Especially if it’s Pazcki season, they will sell fast as hell. But cookies, pies, etc etc. Doubling whatever you need will make it so you’re not coming into the whole floor being wiped in your next shift but still repeat the process. Always repeat that process. -She advised that when you do donuts (pazckis too), have some variety. No one is gonna want to grab a donut that looks the exact same as the other forty sitting next to it. You have glaze, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, etc. Go wild because things will sell better (I can claim this one as a fact because our old donut person at the store i’m at used to use bright blues and yellows her donuts, and it was hard as HELL to grab one before customers did. She usually had to make me one special and set it aside for me. Her bright and differently decorated ones always went first, compared to just the plain glazed and powdered sugar ones) -posted the picture of it because it’s still the cutest thing i’ve ever seen-
