"Baking at home can be an isolating craft in a lot of ways. Obviously, it's really early mornings. Especially when you're a one-man show baking at home, you don't really have access to community in the sense of other bakers as much as you do your customers."
"I was really looking for an opportunity to meet other people in my city, either professionally or otherwise doing the same thing as me, and get a chance to connect."
Downtime Bakery, founded by Dayna Evans, addresses the isolation of home baking by hosting Bakers' Hangs. These events allow bakers to connect, share treats, and learn from each other. Evans, who transitioned from a cottage bakery to a full-fledged business, emphasizes the importance of community in baking. The initiative aims to create a supportive environment for both professional and amateur bakers, enhancing their skills and fostering relationships within the local baking community.
