I'm dreaming of...

my future bakery! ;)

I may have mentioned a couple of times before that one of my dreams is to own a bakery.
I love to bake and I think the best part about it is seeing other people enjoy eating the stuff I make. :)

I'm thinking I'll start with a cute little bakery first -- cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc.

bakeries

All bakeries should be so picture perfect...

And then maybe expand into a full-on cafe -- coffee and other drinks, sandwiches...

I'm a sucker for bakeries

...bread, pies, etc.


I want my bakery to be like Katherine Heigl's in Life As We Know It.


And hopefully, it will eventually turn into something like Meryl Streep's in It's Complicated.


*Sigh*

What about you? 
What are you dreaming of right now?

I hope you are all having a fantastic week!

    I'm dreaming of the same thing. I want to one day have my own little bakery and milk tea shop. I'd have the interiors in hot pink and black and the tea cups in gold. =)

    I'd love to run a bakery! But I don't think I'm cut out for it, so stressful with early mornings. :( Bakeries are so cute, but I think I'm better off just cooking for my friends. xD

    I have always wanted to run an independent bookstore. One with cozy chairs and just stacks of books everywhere and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on every wall filled to the brim with old and new books.

    This is my exact dream as well. It's Complicated is my favorite movie for this reason---her bakery/cafe is amazing. I have really been trying to work out the detail of this as I don't feel I was meant to be an accountant. I'm reading "My Life From Scratch" right now about Sandra Bullocks sister who opened a bakery after leaving the Hoolywood life. So far it's a great book. I hope both of our dreams come true.

    A bakery/cafe sounds like the perfect plan! I'm definitely down to eat at your bakery. I can't wait for you to achieve your dream. I dream of making it in the film industry. I know it's going to be one heck of a challenge, but I can do it. ;)

    Lots of love, B

    I've always been a fan of bakeries and cafes!
    One of my cousins love to bake and would like to
    open up a bakery as well. If you do open one, don't
    forget to invite me! :p I would love to open up a
    cafe, but I'm not very good at baking, even though
    I love it XD I would probably hire people like you
    who could help me out :p

    Ya, Katherine Heigl's bakery in "Life As We Know It" has a delightful atmosphere. That's one of the major techniques a store-owner needs to have to entice more customers.

    So far, the best bakery I've been to is the huge bakery building called Passion 5 in Itaewon. The scent of the place was heavenly, with the aroma of different pastries lingering in your nostrils long after you've passed them. The pastries and cakes are also displayed in a way that makes you want to grab and eat them right away!
