I work at a cafe I’m part owner of and I bake once a week, what are some good, sell-able, quick pastries? I only have a few hours (5 or 6 tops) to knock out about 6 different projects, so I’m looking for some easy, tasty things to sell that will look pretty enough to sell without taking a whole lot of time.
Currently I make scones, brownies, cakes, pies, specialty cookies, strawberry oatmeal bars, basic vegan chocolate cake, banana bread, etc.
It looks like a lot when I write it all down (I’m omitting some things), but I get bored (and so do customers) if it’s the same things every week.
What would you eat if you were jonesing for a baked good??

crossiants are always a delicious item!

YYYYUUUUUMMMMYYYYY
how about pop tarts? =D
Make mudcake and different sorts of cupcakes
You could get some puff pastry and make some chocolate swirls with it? (twist it up or plait it and then when it’s cooked drizzle chocolate over the top) or if you want a savoury product do the same but with cheese instead of chocolate.
Carrot cake, the type that gets the buttermilk pourover sauce a lil while before its done baking, its so moist, and pineapple upside down cake baked in a cast iron skillet.
Chocolate chip cookies, (they can be put in a toaster over for a short time to warm them up) and serve with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Oversized Profiteroles-both sweet and savory
Stuffed croissants-both sweet and savory
Lemon bars
Palmiers
Oatmeal cookie sandwiches with cream cheese mousse
Turn leftover pastries into bread pudding. You can bake these in muffin pans and top with streusel.
portugese custard tarts, cream puffs.
How about various cupcakes. I found a recipe for pink lemonade cup cakes, and I have also made some really ummy lime ones. I get the recipes from Womans World. They always have neat stuff in there.
Rice krispie treats always go over well.
I like a good penaut butter cookie, and white choc macadamia.
Mini custards.
Mini cheesecakes-you could even do no bake cheese cakes. You can mix so much intot eh cream cheese and coollwhip mix from fruit juice concnetrates, to fruit, and even candy bars etc…
Mini cheese cakes with borwnie on the bottom.
Fudge
Bakalava
Stuffed puff pastry-like home made toaster strudels
Cinnamon rolls
Sticky buns
Indivual monkey bread bunches-add some choped cooked bacon or scrambled maple sausage in the inner layers.
apple charlotte.
tunnel cake-(bake in a bunt pan- trim the bottom on about 1 deep-reserve. Put the cake back in the pan, and scoop out the inside, leaveing about 3/4 in border. Fill with any kind of filling you want from strawberry cream to orea cream etc… Carfully slice botom back pn and flip on to servein platter, drizzle with what ever you choose (choclalte ganchae-simple white drizzle etc…)
