What is the plan? What can I order at Mjølner Bakery?
I was asked these questions many many times during the grand opening and although I answered it several times, but I feel many people still have questions.
So here I am cleaning things up :)
When I opened my bakery, I first wanted to launch a product that could be made available throughout Denmark. I saw online that in other countries decorated brownies with a personal message are very popular and because they can be stored at room temperature they can be shipped to different parts of the country with a shipping service like GLS. I wanted to make this same type of "easy to order, easy to customize online" product available to Danes, so I decided that this could be a good basic product to offer through a webshop.
Then of course, like any good pastry chef, I make cakes and small treats (such as macarons, muffins, cupcakes, cake pops) for birthdays and weddings!
Another type of specialty product that I offer is seasonal: Christmas themed cookies and cookie decorating kits. You can see the details of these Christmas offers on the website under the " Christmas " menu.
There was another frequent question: do you make bread? Unfortunately, my answer to this question is no. There are several reasons for this:
1) when I was in culinary school, my class focused on cakes, so I still have a lot to learn about bread.
2) at the moment, as I explained to many of you, I work almost entirely alone (my husband helps a little with pictures and videos for social media). I have a small, almost "mini" business, but there are large expenses and many tasks. I built the website alone and maintain it alone, I do taxes, accounting, purchasing, marketing, customer service, finance and much more BESIDES baking. So there is no room for me to start the day at 2-3 in the morning to get all the loaves ready.
This does not mean that I do not want to bake bread at all, on the contrary: my biggest dream is to have a fully functional bakery and patisserie with bread, sandwiches, coffee (and cakes of course). I just need to make some sales to get help with all the tasks that I am now forced to do alone.
I hope this clears things up a bit and due to many requests I will soon be uploading base prices for themed birthday cakes and other simple cakes and treats so you can get an idea of the prices for these products. Please note that these prices are only informative and the final price depends on the cake size, flavor and complexity of the design. The final prices are always agreed in writing.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email, on the website contact form or on social media.
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
Monica
