Hi everyone! 👋

I’m based in Pampanga and just started my small home baking business recently. Like many of you, I’m learning as I go testing recipes, figuring out costs, and trying to find the right balance between quality and fair pricing.

My latest product is Bento Brownies: soft, fudgy, and baked fresh daily without artificial preservatives. I paired them with dip flavors people usually love: Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Matcha. Each pack comes in a portable bento box, plus a small wooden spork taped neatly on top for convenience.

I’ve priced it at ₱170 per box after computing ingredients, packaging, and a reasonable margin, but I’d really appreciate feedback from fellow entrepreneurs and customers here:

• Does the price feel fair for what’s included?

• What improvements or flavors would you suggest?

• Any tips on how to make packaging or presentation better?

No hard selling here, just sharing what I’ve made and hoping to learn from this community. Thank you so much for the support and insights! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to bake cookies at home but I’m honestly struggling to get them right 😭

Sometimes they turn out too flat, sometimes too thick, and recently they even tasted a bit bitter. I think I might be messing up the baking soda/baking powder or maybe my oven/air fryer temperature.

I’ve tried following recipes exactly but it still feels inconsistent, especially when it comes to texture (I want that soft, chewy bakery-style cookie).

Right now I’m just feeling a bit frustrated because I really want to improve and maybe even start selling small batches someday, but I can’t seem to get a reliable result yet.

If anyone has tips for:

* avoiding bitterness
* getting consistent cookie texture
* baking temps (especially for air fryer/oven)
* or just general cookie troubleshooting

I’d really appreciate it 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hi bakers 🥹

First time making a burnt cheesecake and it turned out flat 😭 I think the power interruption affected it because the electricity went out around 10 minutes after baking, then came back after 2 hours 💀

Honestly thought it was ruined already, but it still tastes really good 😭 The top still has that burnt flavor and the inside is creamy.

Any tips for my next try? 🫶

Hi bakers, I need help figuring this out 😅

My cookies taste really good, sweetness and flavor are on point but the structure is super weak. They turn out too soft, kind of fragile, and they don’t hold shape well after baking. They almost feel like they’ll break easily instead of having that chewy/structured cookie bite.

Here are my ingredients:
100g butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
(sometimes I add mix-ins like Goya kisses, white chocolate, etc.)

What I’ve tried so far:

* Chilling the dough (about 1 hour)
* Baking at 180°C for ~13 minutes (air fryer)
* Not sure if I might be overmixing the dough
* Using butter, sugars, flour, baking soda/powder, egg, etc.

Could this be:

* Too much butter / not enough flour?
* Overmixing?
* Oven/air fryer temp issue?
* Not chilling long enough?
* Something else in the method?

Flavor is fine, just the structure is “weak” and I can’t figure out why. Any tips would be really appreciated 🙏
