    If you can't find caster sugar, just use granulated, it really doesn't impact the bake and is cheaper :)

    what postage do you use for your postals? do you get each postal box weighed? x

    • @Sweetthingsbyamy
      @Sweetthingsbyamy  Před 3 lety

      I just use 1st class but some used tracked or 2nd class, I’d recommend looking in Royal Mail at the specifications of each.
      Yes when you take them to the post office each item is weighed which is why some use tracked because if it weighs less it won’t cost as much to post x

    How well in advance can you. Bake the brownies and all postal treats?

    • @Sweetthingsbyamy
      @Sweetthingsbyamy  Před 3 lety +2

      I’d say it depends on the recipe, I would make a tray then leave it for a week to 2 weeks and see when they’re best. That’s alright thats I did as some recipes are dryer than others.
      I bake the day before postals so that if their are postal delays they won’t get them after the sell by x

      I love what I do but the reality of running any business on your own is that it’s not always glamourous and that’s what I want to show you.
      I create cakes that I am proud of and I may be stressed occasionally but it’s worth it.
      Ps if this is stressed my accountancy job was 10X worse! 🙂
