Addicted to Baking – My Favorite Essay on Baking as a Hobby

If you’re like me, you are probably obsessed with baking, to the point that it’s your every-day hobby.

Below is an essay example about “Baking as my hobby” written by Lauren Bradshaw from CustomWritings – personalized essay writing service established in 2008. You can learn from this sample and write perfect college essays.

As the only boy with five sisters, it wasn’t common that I was attracted to the kitchen. I didn’t particularly enjoy cooking except for when I am doing the steaks with my dad. However, there is just one part of cooking that I am attracted to, baking .

Growing up, I used to love cakes. I would cry for hours unending until my parents got me a piece. I was so addicted to chocolate cake, and my mum used it against me. She would tell me to do the dishes, fold my laundry, or even water the garden for a piece of chocolate cake.

I would gladly do all that and more to get my piece, and my mum is great at baking. Her cake is always near perfect, and she knows how to spice them up with fruits and other sweet additives. Watching her bake in the kitchen at special occasions like Christmas, birthdays and Thanksgiving brought me so much happiness. While some of my sisters didn’t like the idea of baking, I was glued to my mum whenever she baked and asked her many questions about the process then, although some of them were annoying.

As a little boy of seven, I could attempt to bake a simple carrot cake. My love for the chocolate was, and carrot cake became my new cool. On my 10th year, I baked my first cheesecake for the family and got plenty of positive feedback from my mum, sisters, and my dad too.

As I grew, my interest in cake decorations intensified. I would go to parties and carefully observe the decorations on the cakes. Then, I would come home and ask my mum what she thought about it. I got my first camera and took tons of cake pictures I found interesting. As my curiosity grew, my family adopted the idea that I was the chief baker. I took up that position with so much joy as I looked forward to pleasing them. I baked all kinds of easy cakes for deserts. I bought cookbooks and learned new ways to make a great cake without fuss.

From cakes to pies and delicious bread, my love for baking grew with me to my teens until I had to get to college. My mum was crying because since I took over the baking responsibility, she has been free and had not baked for years. My family was sad, but I was devastated because I may have to focus on my studies and lose my passion for baking.

Dad didn’t want me to go into the confectionary business without at least getting a professional certificate, and I correctly understood his plight. I got to college, and my first year was hectic, so I had no time for my hobbies, especially baking. I made new friends and found some that lived around. Made a few visits and found out one of my close friends lives with his family and they were open to my visits.

One day we were all having dinner, and I talked about my baking expertise and how I missed doing what I love most. The family suggested I come around and bake for an upcoming birthday. I was so excited to get another opportunity to display my talent.  I showed up very early on the day before the celebration and got down to work with the help of my friend’s family. They were skeptical at first because I was a boy, but when we were halfway into the process, they were amazed at my knowledge and skills on baking. 

The cake turned out better than they expected, to my amazement. I did a unique decoration, and the celebrant never stopped thanking me. I got a few recommendations and did other side baking gigs while in college, and I was happy with the chance I got.

Baking was my way of relaxing. I loved the smile and people’s faces when they taste my cake or pie, and it gave me a strong push to come up with something better. I loved the compliments I get from mum and dad anytime I bake something extraordinary. They were proud I found something I love and could keep to it. 

Each time I bake, I feel a spark of joy in my soul. It felt like I was born to mix flour and make magic from it. I have other hobbies, no doubt, but none can compare to my love for baking. 

At the end of college, I took to another profession but will always bake whenever I got the chance. Baking will always be special to me, and I hope to pass down my skills to my children.

Hand-in-Hand: What Creative Writing Can Teach Us about Baking

creative writing description of baking

Just as creative writing is an expression of artistry, so too is baking.

When we enter the kitchen, we put our imaginations to work. We call upon our passion and ingenuity. We want to engage our “audience,” if you will, and we want the finished product to inspire people.

If those analogies aren’t enough for you, consider the many books that address how to develop as a writer. They offer plenty of prudent advice on how to write effectively, and this advice can easily be applied to baking as well. Here is a quick look at three such books:

"On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King. Aspiring writers (and bakers!) can mine a lot of helpful nuggets from King’s reflections on how he struggled at the beginning of his career. He also includes input on how to organize a workspace — important for artists of all stripes — and structure one’s day.

"Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. The impetus for Lamott’s book is a memory of her younger brother as a child and his struggle to write a book report on birds. Their father wisely advised him to “take it bird by bird.” Bakers who aspire to lemon merengue and baked Alaska would also do well to start small (cupcakes or muffins, anyone?). Lamott encourages writers to find support groups, and bakers too can benefit from a community (even a virtual one) of like-minded culinarians.

"If You Want to Write" by Brenda Ueland. Ueland’s timeless tome advocates that we should free our imaginations of anxiety and fear of failure. Not only that, but she says everyone “is talented, original, and has something important to say.”

Talents and Skills Thesaurus Entry: BAKING

October 5, 2013 by ANGELA ACKERMAN

As writers, we want to make our characters as unique and interesting as possible. One way to do this is to give your character a special skill or talent that sets him apart from other people. This might be something small, like having a green thumb or being good with animals, to a larger and more competitive talent like stock car racing or being an award-winning film producer.  When choosing a talent or skill, think about the personality of your character, his range of experiences and who his role models might have been. Some talents might be genetically imparted while others are created through exposure (such as a character talented at fixing watches from growing up in his father’s watch shop) or grow out of interest (archery, wakeboarding, or magic). Don’t be afraid to be creative and make sure the skill or talent is something that works with the scope of the story.

In the baking competition the chefs were flown into hunger stricken areas to cook for the needy. It was the first competition ever in which we could say there were winners on every side. What was interesting to see, was the nervousness there was at the start was gone by the finish, that so many of the chefs asked to stay on, to work alongside locals, transforming these societies as their life's work.
It was a local ingredients baking contest, only what could grow within a hundred miles was allowed. More than anything, what it showed was how integrated humanity has become - that we need one another now more than ever.

What I learned about the writing process from bread baking

Title_ How to Study Efficiently for Hours On End (With the Help of a Tomato) (25)

Full disclaimer: I’m an amateur baker. I’m not nurturing an ancient sourdough starter; I prefer easier breads, especially no-knead varieties that rise and ferment for hours, sometimes overnight. I’ve discovered there are lessons to be learned about the writing process from making even the easiest breads.

If you want to pause and start making some bread before you read on, I’d suggest Jim Lahey’s revolutionary no-knead bread recipe. You can find it here or with a quick search (it’s pretty much all over the internet).

Lesson One: Cultivate patience

Breads made with yeast require patience. Yeast is a living fungus that takes its sweet time to inflate air bubbles in dough, making it rise. It also makes dough more stretchy and flavorful. In no-knead breads, more water and more time take the place of kneading to develop the gluten network (stretchiness!) in the dough. You’ll get a dense, bland loaf if you bake too early. In the meantime, you’ve got to go do other things—staying glued to the scene is like trying to watch plants grow.

There are parts of the writing process where you need to walk away for a while too.

I find it’s best to take a break between finishing a draft and starting to revise it. If you barrel straight from drafting to revising, you probably won’t make substantive, meaningful changes. After all, you’ve just been staring at the draft endlessly. You’re tired. Sadly, unlike dough, your draft won’t balloon to delicious proportions while you’re away. But ideas will likely ferment in your mind, and when you come back to your writing, you’ll bring in new ideas and a fresh perspective. How long should you take a break? It depends on your preferences and your project.

An overlooked part of the writing process is the very end, and bread has a lesson for us there as well.

Most breads need to cool after you take them out of the oven. I’m always tempted to cut into that warm loaf right away, even though I know the bread is still cooking a little on the inside. When I’m patient, I’m rewarded with a fluffier texture.

Likewise, when I feel like my writing is done, it’s tempting to just submit it and call it a day. In fact, it’s best to do one more read-through (aloud is preferable, even though it’s painful). This way, you can be your own proofreader, checking for any errors or embarrassing typos. Even though there won’t be any drastic changes, this step ensures that your writing is as polished as possible.

Lesson Two: Environment matters

The way bread dough develops depends on its environment. For example, warmer environments speed up yeast activity, resulting in a faster rise. That’s why I take my bread dough upstairs in the winter (and when it’s especially cold, I’ve even resorted to warming it in the oven). This August, when I was making burger buns, I put them in the greenhouse-like entryway of the house to rise. It was probably too hot, because the dough doubled in size in about half the time that the recipe specified.

Similarly, the environment in which you choose to write matters. If you’re unable to concentrate, then the process could take twice as long.

Many people prefer a quiet place without a lot of distractions (say no to the phone!). I also know people who like to write in places with a lot of ambient noise, like cafés. Whatever your preference, it can be challenging to find an ideal writing environment. You might not be able to go to a public place, or maybe your whole family is sharing space. Even in frustrating scenarios, you can almost always improve your environment with small adjustments. If you’re looking for privacy and quiet, consider wearing headphones, hanging a curtain, placing a screen, or bringing a chair outside.

Lesson Three: Make it your own

When you’re baking a cake, you often need to follow the recipe exactly to get tasty results. In my experience, bread is more forgiving. I often substitute a mixture of whole wheat and bread flour in place of all bread flour because I love the nutty taste of whole wheat. When I last made focaccia, I spread the dough in a larger pan than the recipe called for so that I could get a thinner crust for my potato topping (I was trying to imitate Roman potato pizza). Not every adjustment works, but experimentation sometimes results in delicious discoveries.

Likewise, I believe that my writing process must be my own. I love to learn how other people write, and I often try out their methods, but I only use those methods that help me bring to life the projects I envision. And though I’m recommending certain practices for writing in this very post, I also think you should feel free to tweak and re-imagine your ways of writing. You can even adjust your writing process from project to project, as different projects have different demands.

Here are some possible experiments. Maybe you will…

…do two small revision sessions instead of one big overhaul.

…free-write before you revise, instead of during brainstorming.

…make a “reverse” outline from your first draft to see the structure of your ideas better.

…record your initial ideas (such as on a voice memo) before starting a project.

…keep a progress log.

…time yourself to write in thirty-minute bursts.

There are general principles of writing; ultimately, though, you’ve got to figure out what works for you. Happy writing, and happy bread baking—I hope!

How to Describe Cookies in Writing

By A.W. Naves

how to describe cookies in writing

If characters in your novel are savoring the taste of yummy cookies, let your readers have the same experience! Learn how to describe cookies in your writing through using the following 10 words.

1. Scrumptious

Delectable, palatable ; extremely tasty or appetizing.

“Grace took a bite of the scrumptious cookie and was instantly transported back to her childhood.”

“The scrumptious aroma of baking cookies filled the house, causing everyone’s mouths to water.”

How it Adds Description

Using “scrumptious” adds a sense of rich flavor and enjoyable experience to the cookies, making them more than just a simple snack. It implies a level of craftsmanship and care that enhances the quality of the cookies and can also denote fondness or nostalgia. The use of “scrumptious” can trigger the reader’s sensory imagination, deepening character personas and story detail.

Brittle, fragile ; denoting the texture of a substance.

“Each bite of the crumbly cookie filled her mouth with a sweet sensation.”

“Tim watched as the crumbly cookie fell apart in his hand, sprinkling bits onto the plate.”

The word “crumbly” evokes in the reader’s mind the texture and feel of the cookies. It can be used to illustrate the age, quality, or type of cookie, leading to an expansion in the storyline. For example, it could denote the time lapse since the cookies were baked or a character’s baking skill, adding dimension to their personality.

Sticky, mushy ; describing a viscous, often sweet, quality.

“Inside the crisp exterior, the cookie revealed a gooey chocolate center.”

“Tom enjoyed the contrast between the crunchy crust and the gooey filling of the cookie.”

“Gooey” brings the cookies to life by portraying a distinctive, often enticing texture. It can indicate a special type of cookie, such as one with a soft filling, adding description to the portrayal of the baked goods. This detail can inform the readers about a character’s taste preferences, habits, or lifestyle, and can trigger cravings in the readers, making the story more immersive.

Saturated, waterlogged ; unpleasantly soft.

“She bit into the soggy cookie, its texture indicating it had been dipped in milk for too long.”

“The rain-soaked cookies were now a soggy mess on the picnic table.”

“Soggy” cookies could represent ruined plans or disappointment. For instance, the anticipation of a perfect picnic ruined by rain is symbolized by the soggy cookies. It can also illustrate the lack of mastery in baking or preparation, leading to less-than-desirable results. Soggy cookies may serve as a metaphor for a situation that has lost appeal due to unfavorable circumstances.

Amber, aureate ; denoting a gold-toned color.

“She took the golden cookies out of the oven, perfectly baked to her liking.”

“The golden hue of the cookies under the bakery display light was simply irresistible.”

The word “golden” gives a visual cue about the appearance of the cookies, indicating they are perfectly baked. |It adds a touch of warmth and richness to the narrative and can also indicate the quality of the cookies. It can be a marker of time, indicating the baking is complete. This word can enhance the reader’s visual imagery, making the story more engaging and relatable.

6. Wholesome

Nutritious, healthy ; suggesting beneficial qualities.

“She preferred wholesome cookies made with oats and nuts, always thinking about her diet.”

“The wholesome ingredients in the cookies made them not just tasty but also a healthy snack.”

“Wholesome” adds an aspect of health and well-being to the cookies, indicating they are made with nutritious ingredients. This can tell the reader more about a character’s lifestyle choices and values, such as a focus on health or a preference for natural foods. It creates a positive impression of the cookies.

7. Decadent

Luxurious, lavish ; suggesting extravagance or indulgence.

“The decadent cookies, filled with layers of chocolate and caramel, were a true indulgence.”

“He treated himself to the decadent delight of the gourmet cookies after a long day.”

Using “decadent” to describe cookies adds a sense of extravagance and indulgence, indicating that they are a luxurious treat rather than a simple snack. It might hint at a special occasion or a reward and can reveal more about a character’s circumstances or personality traits, such as a penchant for luxury or a willingness to indulge themselves.

Unfresh, expired ; no longer good to eat.

“After being left out on the counter for two weeks, the cookies turned stale .”

“The stale cookies tasted like cardboard, lacking any semblance of the once delectable sweetness.”

By describing the cookies as “stale,” we immediately get an understanding of the cookies’ condition and potentially the environment they are in. It could illustrate neglect or decay, adding a sense of melancholy or neglect in the plot. This can also reflect on a character’s circumstances or mood, showing that they live in a subpar environment or lack concern for their food sources.

9. Homemade

Home-cooked, handmade ; indicating the domestic origin of an item.

“Nothing could beat the taste of her grandma’s homemade cookies.”

“Despite all the cookies he’d tasted, the homemade ones always held a special place in his heart.”

“Homemade” gives the cookies a sense of authenticity, simplicity, and sentimental value. It can suggest a family tradition, a special recipe, or the care and effort someone put into making the cookies. This word can reveal a lot about a character’s background, relationships, or values, adding emotional depth to the story.

10. Tempting

Alluring, enticing ; denoting the attractive quality of an object.

“The tempting cookies were hard to resist, calling to her from the kitchen counter.”

“He eyed the tempting array of cookies in the bakery window, debating whether to go in.”

The word “tempted” conveys that the cookies possess an irresistible quality, capable of captivating a character’s attention and stirring their longing to indulge in such sweets. This temptation can introduce a conflict or dilemma that furthers the plot, such as in a case where the cookie is magical or perhaps poisoned and the action rests on what decision is made.

How to Develop Original Recipes

Published: Jan 21, 2020 · Last Modified: Feb 14, 2023 by Leslie Jeon · 6 Comments · This post may contain affiliate links ·

Want to develop your own recipes from scratch? Here are some of my best tips to get started. 

Overhead shot of scones lying in a circle that reads 'How to Develop Original Recipes'

I'm going to be honest with you here—a few years ago, I had absolutely no idea how to write a recipe from scratch. I remember searching far and wide online for tips but struggled to decide where to start.

But, honestly, when it comes down to it, developing recipes really isn't that hard! I'm going to focus more on writing baking recipes here just because, y'know, that's what my specialty is. However, you can definitely apply these concepts to writing savory recipes as well. Here are a few of my best tips to get started.

Research, Research, Research

The best part about researching food is that you get to eat all. the. food! When eating out at restaurants or bakeries, start to think a bit more about the foods you are eating and analyze their components. Why does that chocolate lava cake pair so well with matcha ice cream? What is it about lemon juice that brings out the flavor in that broccoli?

Another way I love to get inspiration is by combing through cookbooks and magazines. See what kinds of recipes people are making and analyze the flavors they are using. Learn what fruit is in season at different times of the year. As you start to recognize patterns in dishes, you find ways to incorporate these ideas into your own recipes. It's also important to know what flavors pair well together and incorporate these combinations in your baking.

Finally, when it comes to baking, understanding the science behind it all is unbelievably important. Why do you use baking soda in a recipe instead of baking powder ? Does it matter if you use all-purpose flour or cake flour? The more you learn about baking science, the easier it will be to know which ingredients to pair together in your own recipes. If you are interested in learning more about the science of baking, I highly recommend checking out Paula Figoni's book  How Baking Works .

Perfect for summertime, this Coconut Matcha Chia Pudding incorporates two of my favorites: matcha and strawberries.

Give a Recipe a Unique Twist

When it comes to recipes, one of my favorite ways to develop new ones is to shake up an old one. Take snickerdoodle cookies and turn them into scones or change a sweet potato casserole into a cheesecake .

When making changes like this, you don't have to go too crazy! Just think of ways that you can modify an existing recipe and improve it in some way. Try adding a new flavor such as basil or coriander, or experiment by changing the cooking method. Honestly, this is the fun part about creating your own recipes: you get to be creative and think outside the box.

As I'm writing my recipes, I like to use pre-existing ones for inspiration. However, I always make sure I change at least three components in a recipe and rewrite the instructions in my own words before calling it my own. I'm going to share a post soon about specific steps for writing recipes, so stay tuned for that.

Snickerdoodle Scones

Move over snickerdoodles—these Snickerdoodle Scones are here to stay.

Test as Many Times as Necessary

Chances are your recipe isn't going to be amazing the first time around. It might take two or three (or five... or six...) times to really get a recipe to the place you want it, and that's okay.

When I'm working on a recipe, I like to make one change at a time. If you change too many elements at once, it can become hard to tell what's working and what's not. Take it slow, and enjoy the process!

It's also important to keep in mind that recipes may fluctuate depending on your oven and your environment. When possible, I like to try out my recipes in a different kitchen to make sure they turn out as intended.

Homemade peppermint patties

It took me several weeks to get the recipe for these Homemade Peppermint Patties down.

Learn From Your Mistakes

Just like everything else in life, developing recipes is always going to have its fair share of failures. Your idea might take several tries to come to fruition, or it just might not work out at all. And that's okay! The most important lesson is to enjoy the process and keep trying. The more recipes you work on, the better you will become at this process.

Over time, I have made many mistakes in the kitchen. From sunken-in cakes to raw cream puffs, I have wanted to throw in the towel at various points over the past few years. But, the best thing you can do is to pick yourself back up and keep trying. Learn from every experience and enjoy the process.

Maple pecan cream puffs

On my first attempt at these Maple Pecan Cream Puffs, I messed up the ratios for the choux pastry. It was a little bit embarrassing tossing all those cream puffs in the trash. You live and you learn, right?

Keep Track of New Ideas

When it comes to thinking of new recipes, I keep a long-running list of all my ideas (good and bad). To manage my blog content, I do this on a board in Asana . I have a column called "Idea Backlog" filled with hundreds of recipe ideas, and when I plan out my editorial calendar, I pull from these recipes and give them a try.

Even if you don't have a blog, you can keep track of all your recipe ideas in a similar way! Whether it's in a small notebook or in the notes section of your phone, write down ideas as they pop into your head. Browse through the farmers' market and see which fruits are in season, then jot down flavor combinations that sound enticing. Even if you don't try to bring these recipes to life for months, it's great to have the idea written down for later.

Hi, Ann! I haven't gotten around to writing that post yet, but it's great to know it would be helpful for you. In the meantime, I'd recommend checking out this article from Mike Bakes NYC that talks all about developing and writing recipes! It dives into some of the concrete steps required when writing recipes.

Hii I was just wondering how to claim the recipe to be yours, because I use peoples recipes, but add things to it. like I use peoples recipes as a base then, implement it from there by adding other ingredients in there. Can I classify the recipe as mine then or would it still be there’s?

September 26, 2023 at 4:06 pm

Hi, Enara! Great question. I personally like to follow David Lebovitz's guide to recipe attribution . If I take another person's recipe and change a few of the ingredients/instructions and write the recipe in my own words, I usually classify it as my own recipe at that point. However, I always like to provide a link to that other person’s recipe on their website/blog/cookbook and say 'Recipe inspired by X' or 'Recipe adapted from X.'

I hope that helps!

But i want to learn how to make my own recipes but I don’t know where to start from and how to do it I’m confused

November 08, 2023 at 10:12 am

I'd start by taking a look at some of your favorite recipes. Is there anything you can tweak to make the recipe your own? You could adjust some of the ingredients or change the cooking method, and making these changes will help you create a new recipe. Once you get the hang of doing that, you might find it easier to start developing your own recipes from scratch.

For more information about this topic, I really like this article from Taste of Home , and I think it might give you a few other places to start. I hope that helps!

How to Write the Best Bakery Description for Facebook

If you’re a bakery owner, you know you draw people to your establishment for various reasons. Some want to enjoy a delicious pastry or cupcake. Others may order a wedding cake from your bakery, while others may want to learn more about how you make your food so good. Whatever their reason for stopping by, knowing how to use Facebook as an effective marketing tool can help increase foot traffic in the store and boost sales even further.

To write the best bakery description for Facebook, you should first understand what a Facebook business description is, what’s included in a good Facebook description, the Facebook about section, a bakery short and long description, and the data of a Facebook description.

Table of Contents

What is a Facebook Business Description

creative writing description of baking

Facebook business descriptions are short text descriptions of your business. They’re similar to the descriptions you would use on your website, but they appear in search results instead of underneath the name or title of your page.

When someone searches for something related to what you sell (for example, “cake frosting recipes”), it can be helpful for them to find you in search results right away so they can easily browse and buy from you if they want to.

The key thing about writing a great Facebook business description is that it must be useful for people looking for information about your products or services and anyone who might stumble upon it by chance while browsing Facebook. So, make sure there’s real value here!

What’s Included in a Facebook Description

Describe what your business does in 1-2 sentences to help people understand its value. Think about what makes you unique and differentiates you from other pages, then use that information to craft an engaging introduction sentence.

You should provide the following information in your Facebook description:

  • Business address
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Website URL (optional)
  • Description of the business and its products/services

The Facebook description lets you share a little bit more about what makes you unique or special. If you have any awards or accolades, this section is where they should go.

Why People Open Bakeries

Bakery About Section

After your product descriptions are written and uploaded to Facebook, it’s time to write the About section. The About section lets you tell your readers more about your business and what makes you different from the competition. 

Three things make this section so important:

  • It’s one of the first things people will see when they visit your bakery page
  • It gives them a reason to keep scrolling down through all of these pictures of delicious desserts
  • It’s a great way to show off your personality and connect with customers

Consider adding these to your bakery’s Facebook about section:

creative writing description of baking

  • Your Company Story: Tell your story. How did you get started? What inspired you to start baking? Why do you think people should buy from you instead of the competition? Let people know where you get your ingredients. If you source local ingredients and support small businesses, let people know! Being genuine and honest will help attract customers who want to support local businesses.
  • What you do or sell: Use this space to explain what your bakery does. Do you sell cupcakes? Muffins? Cookies? Tell people! Include photos of finished products, if possible. If you make specialty cakes, include pictures of those as well.
  • Contact information: Include your contact information, including a website and social media accounts. Ensure your website has an online ordering option so customers can easily place orders.
  • Links to other social profiles: Include links to your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram accounts. Including links to other social media platforms will make it easy for people to follow you or view your social media profiles.
  • Social Media Policy: It’s important to have a social media policy so you can set expectations for your staff and help them understand how they should use social media.

Also, here are some things to consider, including how often employees can use social media during work hours, and what type of content is appropriate (no personal photos or posts). When posting on behalf of the company, employees should always include a disclaimer that they are representing the company, not themselves. It’s also important to note that employees shouldn’t post anything that could be considered discriminatory or offensive.

5 Best U.S. States to Open a Bakery

Bakery Short Description

The short description is the first thing you see when you click on a business page. It should be between 5-15 words, and it’s your chance to show off your brand personality. The goal of the short description is to get people interested in learning more about your company. It should be written in plain language that anyone can understand, even if they aren’t familiar with your industry.

Bakery businesses have many content opportunities to use in their description: the product or service, the business, and even where they’re located. But if this is too much information for your audience to digest at once, use these tips to ensure that everything important gets covered.

Bakery Long Description 

It’s important to include a call to action in your bakery description. A long description is a part where you ask people to do something – buy your product, visit your bakery, and follow you on social media. A bakery’s long description should tell your audience why they should care about you. What’s in it for them? Is your product better than what’s already out there? Are you using new technology or innovative processes to make a more delicious product?

Make sure that the call to action is clear and concise. For example: “Visit us today!” or “Find us at 123 Main St., New York, NY 10001,” or “Follow us on Instagram @bakery_namehere for more photos like this!” You can add links to other pages as well such as your website, Facebook page, Pinterest, so they do not have to search for them. You can make it even easier by adding links: “Don’t forget our website address (link).”

What Is the Retail Bakery Business Model

Examples of Bakery Facebook Descriptions

Writing an eye-catching bakery Facebook description can be tricky at first, so we’ve included some examples below. For the best results, you should use your own words.

  • “We are a bakery serving fresh, delicious pastries. We have various items made from scratch daily, including cupcakes, cookies, and cinnamon rolls.”
  • “We make the best chocolate chip cookies in downtown! Come by today to try some!”
  • “We are a small, family-owned bakery. We make all our treats from scratch, including our famous strawberry muffins!”
  • “We pride ourselves on making fresh, delicious pastries daily. Come in today to try one of our famous sugar cookies!” “Our blueberry muffins are the best in town! We make them from scratch daily, including our secret ingredient.”

Facebook Description Data

creative writing description of baking

Facebook is the world’s largest and most popular social media network, with over 2 billion monthly active users worldwide. The average Facebook user spends nearly an hour daily on the site or app, and 90% of those users access Facebook via mobile devices. In addition to being a social network, Facebook has become a major news source for many people; they use it to stay up to date on current events worldwide.

The easiest way to find Facebook description data is using the Facebook Insights tool. To access it, click Pages in the left menu from your Feed. You can also search for this page on Google or Bing. Once you have opened Insights, you can see some basic information about your page, including your reach and impressions.

You want to pay attention to who clicks your page and how they got to it. Paying attention to your data can help you improve your Facebook description and the rest of your business page.

The best way to write a good bakery description for Facebook is to focus on the most important information. 

Important information includes your brand name and a short blurb about what makes your business unique. You don’t need to spend too much time on this because it’s just an introduction but be sure to include all the necessary details so that people know what they’re getting when they click through!

How To Start a Bakery Business

Frequently Asked Questions

Paying for Facebook ads depends on a few factors, such as your business size and the competition in your industry. If you’re starting, we recommend starting with $5-10 per day for a small test campaign and then increasing from there if things go well!

The first step is to ensure that your business name, address, and phone number are listed. Next, you’ll want to focus on writing an engaging summary of what makes your business special. You can use customer quotes, reviews, and any awards or accolades you’ve received.

Ensure the copy is engaging, but don’t overboard with excessive words or fluff! You should include a short description of what makes your bakery special. You can also include recipes and other information about your products.

Bakery Quotes

Quotes about baking, inspirational baking quotes, funny quotes on baking, cupcake quotes.

A baker uses dry heat to prepare foods during the process of baking.

A person who bakes goods professionally is known as a baker. And the establishment where they sell their goods is called a bakery.

In baking , heat is transferred from the surface of cakes or bread to their center. The batters transform into baked goods with a dry crust and a soft center. Baking is typically done in an oven, but it can be also done in hot stones or ashes. In historical and familial roles, traditional baking has been a part of everyday life for centuries.

Automated machines were used for baking in factories during industrialization. But baking as art remains and is of an important nutritional value, especially bread. Some of the most popular products from bakeries are cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and bread. Bakers are some of the nicest people you will come across! You better compliment them, and don't forget to gift the bakers in your family things like an apron or a chef's hat, maybe even a glass! Let's jump into our list of quotes featuring some funny bakery quotes, quotes for bakers, and great quotes about cakes and great bakery slogans!
