Hey guys!
A time for tea time chat, shall we?😏☕️
For the past 5-6 years, I've been sharing baking tutorials on YouTube (I know, that long!??) I can't believe I'm still here. I could continue my passion thanks to your love and support.
In my business, there is one thing I am so scared to do that I have never done before.
It is... to sell my own product. My own special something!
I thought... nobody would buy. I am not good at business...
talking about all the excuses!💨
Can you relate?
Even after people asked me:
"Do you have a book?"
"Do you have a course?"
I've said, "I don't have it now, but I hope to later!".
I was not confident. I thought... maybe later. Just later.
But, do I want to continue this career? YES.
Do I want to show my kids that I go get what I want? YES.
So...
Enough is enough!!
Something popped inside of me this year. I decided I would make it happen.
"The something" might end up being a flop, but I gotta take the first step to learn something. Just like my first YouTube video.
I decided to start by creating something small this year.
So if you are so afraid of something, let's take a baby step together.🐾
Now, will you do me a favor?
In order for me to create something that is actually going to help you in baking, will you answer my quick survey below? (The screenshot of the example on the 2nd image)

Answer the survey only:

As an option, add your YouTube handle name somewhere, so that I can recognize you. If you like!😊 I've seen all the familiar names in the comment sections, and it's so nice to know which story belongs to whom.
If you are already a member of the Newsletter and answered the form, thank you, thank you!! Please let me know in the comment section, so that I can say a proper thank you❤️
I went through all of your feedback, and I am SO amazed. Your stories, love for baking... I am learning a lot about you.
Well, enough talking on Friday morning.
I'll let you go now.
I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!
Happy baking,
Aya
P.S. My son turned 1 this month! He was still in my tummy when I shared the red velvet cake tutorial. Time flies! I made a simple shortcake to celebrate🥳 Check out my Instagram to see the photos!
