Back into the Fire

AS we prepare ourselves for the typical 4Th quarter, ewe look back at last year and recall the insanity that 20 hour days brought to our lives and the Bakery.

Thanks to the economy, we don't have that problem so much anymore.
Needless to say, out commodity prices continue to rise in light of lower sales and our purchasing power and ability to negotiate also diminishes.

So better off are we all than those of our friends that were laid off and have yet to find work or meaningful employment (work we enjoy, in our field).

What to do, what to do? Best to batten down and get ready for a rough 2011? Or better to keep hope alive and re-focus efforts to new product development. I think the latter. So Back into the fire and see what will come out. It may take years to land something new, but at least we can try while we are still a viable business model.

Looking to find new savings without sacrificing our standards and double our efforts to be the best, most reliable Baker our clients can have. Standing at the oven door - diligently baking.

Enjoy Family and friends this coming holiday season, and buy some Bakery treats - from us or any one of your local stores.

First Quarter Gone - Long gone

Wow
Coming up on 5 months into the year laready and n relief in sight. Kids are bigger, business is slower, but I am busier than normal.

Trying to cope with the necessity of lay-offs and our commitment to our staff. We have once again come to realize that everyone is in it for themselves and we need to be also. If not done voluntarily in conjunction with the team for the larger cause (of keeping us in business) then we have to force the situation and remind people why we are here. Cannot afford to be the good guy all the time - so to some it's via con dios.
