"Did we just spend $40 and an hour getting ingredients to make waffles?", I turned to ask rhetorically as I held 3 large plastic bags (this was before the age of reusable bags, so don't come at me!) of ingredients.
"Was it $40? It's okay, we can keep them and make more waffles next time."
—
Let me save you the trouble — we never made any more waffles after that night, and most of the ingredients expired in the kitchen before they were thrown away.
That's the question I asked myself when I realised how much waste goes into the home baking industry (answer: a lot!).
And so I set out on a mission to create a baking experience that I would personally enjoy. I wanted to be able to bake a variety of recipes without having to constantly get new ingredients and end up throwing out the excess after it inevitably expires.
I wanted to bake foolproof recipes that I know will work, and that I can trust.
I wanted to actually find baking therapeutic.
And thus, we delivered our first Bakestarters baking kits.
A great recipe developed by in-house pastry chefs, delivered along with pre-portioned ingredients and a tutorial video.
At Bakestarters, we commit to making baking fun, therapeutic, and exceptionally exciting. From cookies to cakes, tiramisu to mooncakes, we have grown our collection to reflect that mission.
To date, we have sold tens of thousands of baking kits, and there is only more to come from us in 2025.
We hope we can help you share the love with everyone around you. As we like to say here at Bakestarters;
Nothing beats a personal touch.
Fun fact: The GIF above featured our second box iteration (we must be on our 10th or so iteration now!)
