QUESTION 28 OF 32

What steps do you take to ensure little ingredients are wasted, or go bad, in your current bakery?

Anonymous Answer

Just track what you sell to get a better idea of how much you need to make next time. Also, use scraps from cake for cake pops. And try to scrape as much batter from the bowl as possible.
