And I don't mean the cakes! What is it that attracts crazy people to open bakeries? Do they start out sane and are made insane by the business of baked goods? Or is it that one must be a little off to want to own a bakery? And I'll tell you this, it's not just the American businesses that contain bosses that rant and rave. I have had the pleasure and displeasure to have worked in and tried out at a nice little cross section of bakeries. If it were possible to taste the emotions and mental stability of a bakeries owner it would be like eating a saturated mess of fears, frustration, neurosis, and narcissism. Every cupcake sold is another step towards validation. Afterall cupcakes are what make or break a bakeries worthiness theses days, sad but true thanks to the self proclaimed cupcake conessuiers. Don't worry If you carry the same aversion to cupcakes the way I do you'll want to stay tuned for more on them later. I have worked for owners who have screamed, cried, and thrown things like a child having a tantrum. The baking world of course contains Its own set of stressors. You are of course dealing with food, nutritional value is beside the point, but people are particular about it even when it seems ridículous to us. You just can't mess with people and their food. There is also more and more competition and the threat of going under is ever apparent. I'm not saying that all bakeries are the same when it comes to the questionable sanity of Its owner but they do seem to contain a common thread.
It has also seemingly become the dumping ground for failed and retired actors. I just wonder when opening a bakery became the backup plan for not making it in Hollywood?!
