How do you know it’s the right time to go full time on your microbakery? We asked Rose, the baker behind to tell us her story of deciding to leave her job as a landscape architect to focus on building her business full time. She was ready to live fearlessly!

We’d love to hear your stories too! Share them in the comments👇

Lucie’s microbakery has only one thing on the menu: buttery, flaky, kouign amann.

Lucie’s starting baking over 15 years ago in France, but since moving to Austin, she always had a dream of bringing her favorite hometown pastry to an American audience.

Just three months after starting, she’d already selling out in minutes every week and drawing long lines at her pop ups. She credits a lot of the success to a post on Nextdoor, but we know it’s the delicious, expertly hand laminated pastries that keep people coming back.

Kristyn makes hundreds of sourdough goods a week for her microbakery and, like a lot of our microbakers, she’s found a way to integrate her successful business with her life and family.

How does that work exactly?? We asked her to break down what a typical week looks like for her - from prep to dough to movie night with the kids.

How does your schedule compare?

Equipment is one of the biggest investments you’ll make when you’re starting a microbakery, but it’s hard to know what tools are actually worth the money.
