Create specialty cupcake varieties by adding unique fililngs, toppings and finishing touches to basic cupcakes. Giving your customers great service will keep them coming back to your bakery. Savory items like Butcher Block Bread appeal to weekend customers for sharing occasions.

It’s important to think about your customers throughout every aspect of your business, from efficiency in production and store design to the quality of your staff.

Kevin Collins, owner of Bakery Barn in Covington, KY, kept this in mind from the day he opened his bakery.

When Collins first made Butcher Block Bread, he worried about how it looked. “It actually looked kind of ugly,” Collins says.
