Thereβs more behind the price of a $5 cookie than you might thinkβ¦
π€ A little behind the scenes of Sugar & Crumb by Claudiaβ¦
I completely understand that everyone has a different budget, and I truly believe thereβs something for everyone. I just wanted to share a little peek at what goes into the treats I make for you. πͺβ¨
When you purchase from my little cottage bakery, youβre not just paying for a cookie, muffin, or cinnamon roll. Thereβs a lot that happens behind the scenes to bring each order to you:
πΎ Organic flour
π― Local honey
π§ Quality butter
πΏ Real vanilla
π₯ Quality ingredients throughout my recipes
π¦ Packaging & labels
π₯ Oven time + electricity
β° Hours of mixing, scooping, rolling, baking & decorating
π§Ό Cleaning & sanitizing
π Shopping & preparing ingredients
π» Taking orders, answering messages & preparing for markets
π Gas & time spent getting everything to the market
I choose the ingredients I do because they matter to me. I want to make treats that Iβm genuinely proud to put my name on. π€
Something else you may not know is that I donβt currently take a paycheck from Sugar & Crumb.
The money from the bakery goes right back into ingredients, packaging, supplies, market expenses, and all the little costs that come with running a business. Some months I barely break even, and sometimes I even put money into the business myself.
And whatever is left helps me put money toward things that matter to me β saving for our future home, Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews, unexpected expenses, oven upgrades, and growing this little bakery. π‘πππ₯π€
Every order helps me slowly build something Iβm really proud of.
I work a full-time job and run Sugar & Crumb in the time I have because I truly love baking, creating, and sharing my treats with my community.
My goal is always to keep my prices as fair as I can while making sure this little bakery can continue to be something sustainable.
If a treat isnβt in your budget, I completely understand. β€οΈ Thereβs never any pressure to order.
But if youβd like to support Sugar & Crumb, there are so many ways you can help β and they donβt all cost a thing. π€

Even a share or a kind comment can help my little business reach someone new, and I truly appreciate every single bit of support. π₯Ήπ€
And when you do choose to spend $5 or $50 with me, please know that it means so much more than just a sale.
Youβre helping me turn cookies, muffins, and cinnamon rolls into something bigger. π₯Ήπ€
Youβre helping me work toward our future home, make Christmas a little more special for my nieces and nephews, upgrade my equipment, keep buying quality ingredients, and continue growing something I truly love. π‘ππͺβ¨
