Baking Becoming Quite Expensive
If you love to bake, you’re probably beginning to notice just how expensive the hobby is becoming. It’s even worse for professional bakers in Canadar, who are losing money as supply costs soar.
Nina Dumanski of Tazzi’s Cafe and Bakery in Ontario, Canada, says the situation is getting bad.
“Flour, butter, eggs, sugar ? everything that pertains to baking. . . . You see items like coffee and sugar increase now and then but now it seems everything has gone up across the board,” she said.
Worse yet, rice and flour are starting to be rationed in certain parts of North America, so it’s likely things will get worse before they get any better.
Of course, it’s the customer who will end up paying more in the long run. Dumanski is considering raising prices, a move made by many bakeries already. If availability of certain foodstuffs declines even more, you can expect baking to become prohibitively expensive as a hobby, or a business.
