There are days when life feels like this overflowing table: flour everywhere, unfinished tasks, and me in the middle of it all, trying to be enough for the whole world… and it’s when you’re alone that you feel most capable!

The weekend arrives, but rest doesn’t… The hours keep passing even after work is over, and I must keep moving too, because if I stop, nothing moves.

No one sees this side of me: the weight on my shoulders, the silent exhaustion, the smile I force (sometimes) so that everything around me doesn’t crumble.

But here, among cake tins, rolled-out dough,
and the warmth of my kitchen, I rediscover myself.

Here, my tiredness has a purpose, my solitude becomes strength, and my heart, even exhausted, keeps creating.

Being alone isn’t easy, but in this sweet and imperfect chaos, i remember: I can do it.

I always can 🖤

I don't know if you had already thought about this, but the fact that the price of the cake is €100 doesn't mean that I (the baker) will earn that €100. Why? Because this price encompasses several components and is not all profit, quite the opposite!
Let's analyze everything that encompasses the final price of a cake:
→ Cost of ingredients (this is the most obvious one to deduct);
• Expenses on electricity, water, gas and internet (yes, I need it to communicate with customers and make quotes, so it is included in these calculations);
→ Cost of packaging, labels, ribbons and other components associated with packaging our cake;
• Labor (number of hours worked to make the cake);
→ Taxes on purchased products;
• Costs associated with transportation (if necessary);
→ Profit;
As you can see profit and labor are only a small part of what they pay for the final product.
And labor can be interpreted as a cost (when we have other people working with us).

So, the next time you receive a cake design quote, you already know that it's not just a cake, there are all the logistics associated with it.
And even more so because
We are talking about personalized service!

Pastel de Nata 😍

O clássico croissant francês 😍
Famoso pela sua textura leve e folhada, é feito através de um processo cuidadoso de laminação que forma 55 camadas, 27 delas sendo de manteiga. Esse efeito é alcançado através de uma técnica que envolve uma dobra francesa seguida de três dobras tipo carta. Se o número de camadas for menor, o croissant tende a ter uma textura mais mastigável e menos definida. Por outro lado, um excesso de camadas pode resultar na fusão da manteiga com a massa, alterando a sua estrutura única. O equilíbrio entre essas camadas é o que confere ao croissant o seu sabor e delicadeza inconfundíveis.

Sonhar, realizar, mostrar resultados!

Unfortunately there are people who cross our path only to show us how poor in spirit they are, they just come into our life to show us that we don't want to be like them!

Happily my talent and my skills are not measured by anyone's words, but rather by my ability to show what I'm worth with the type of work I do!!!

And this is me… professional, competent, resilient, honest and humble… knowing that no one should diminish anyone for being inferior to us is character, the most valuable piece a person can play in this game of life!

Graduated with merit, excellence and proud of myself because I didn't need to step over anyone to be where I am!

Thank you to all the people who already work with me and are happy with my art! 🖤

Anitta Branco, the Pastry Chef!
