Getting A Company To Produce My Brownies
Baking By CaptainHaddock Updated 23 Mar 2017 , 8:25am by CaptainHaddock
Hello everybody,
I have a YouTube channel for recipes and have invented a few recipes of my own from time to time. Over a year ago I invented two different types of brownies and they seemed very popular with everybody.
A friend suggested that I try to convince a supplier that already sells pre - packed bakery goods to Woolworths and the likes to bake and sell my brownies under my name, and while I like the idea, I have absolutely no idea how I'd go about it.
I have been searching the internet but all I am seeing are people baking from home and supplying themselves to small cafe's etc. but I neither have the money (you need to have the council approve your kitchen etc.) or the space or time for that matter, seeing as I would not nearly be making enough to actually live off of alone, especially at first.
I am okay with someone else making my recipe/s in their factories along with everything else they do and merely making a profit, and apparently this is a fairly doable thing, but I have no idea how or who to approach in order to try and make such an idea even happen.
If anybody has any ideas about how this would work, I would be eager for any reply which might help.
Thanks in advance, I hope someone might be of assistance!
a couple things -- kudos on your you tube success and the wonderful recipes -- if your brownie recipe is on there -- mass producing them could be done without you involved -- they couldn't use your name but nothing's stopping them from using the formula --
honestly friends of bakers are always encouraging bakers to sell sell sell -- i take it as a compliment, thank them and still they persist aghh makes me tired -- and frankly it's easy for a good baker to make a sell-able product -- it is monumentally difficult to successfully sell it --
small batch baking is a wonderful eatable experience -- mass production is a world of difference -- mass producing can take the 'this is great' edge off the product --
you are correct -- you cannot make a living at this -- your friend is very kind but misguided -- there is no where that will take a recipe, manufacture and market it and give you royalties for all their hard work -- great brownie recipes are a dime a dozen
again, congratulations on your you tube success

^^^^^ Yup, this.
OK, Mrs. Fields did that with cookies, but she ran in a circle of celebrity friends who endorsed her and "promoted" her, to some extent. The chances exist to make money off it, but there are also chances that I could be the next super model. The key is, really, really, really, really slim chances.
So the amount of money and effort to invest on the really slim chances becomes the question.
No one wants to be discouraging, but .......
Okay cool, thanks everybody for the information
I knew nothing about how any of this works so thank you for clarifying, really didn't know whether it was a thing or not, he's a chef and he seemed to think that it was a thing. I'd never heard of it so that's why I thought I'd check on it to see what other people with actual sales in baking might know.
