If you try to make ice cream in 30 minutes for a competition you deserve to fail.

lobster shirt posted:it's a timed cooking show, you have 30 minutes to come up with, cook, and plate your dessert. also there's only one ice cream machine for two contestants. some people manage to pull it off but i guess with those time and equipment constraints it's not easy. Ah. It's pretty impossible to make ice cream from scratch in half an hour. Maybe if it's an extremely simple recipe that doesn't need to be cooked first and you can start churning it in the first five minutes, you can do it. It sounds like asking for trouble to me, though

I just picked up burgers from a place that had pinball, was a nice way to pass the time. OP you should get some pinball machines. Probably won't help your business but when it's slow you'll be able to play pinball.

Given the mention of sweet tea, the sausage gravy variety is my bet. Southern folk love their sweet tea almost as much as biscuits and gravy.

Rationale posted:I order coffee most of the time I stand by what I said before: there are plenty of perfectly fine instant coffees. The tea and spice shop by my house sells instant cappuccino mixes, and the raspberry chocolate one I bought is pretty good. There's no shame in instant, so long as you're not running a coffee shop

Still waiting to hear what is the plan for when you run out of cash a month or two in. Is the odyssey over? What is the "fail state" of the concern?

If the fail state is "well, that sucked; come on kids, let's go get some pizza" then it'll all be fine by me. Just don't deny your kids pizza and we'll get along fine.

Shmtur posted:Did you make donuts for Thanksgiving? Yeah but then the kid was asleep at go time so we got there like an hour late when everyone was stuffed and I think like ten were eaten. I got into a pretty good workflow where I could finish and pack donuts as I was frying and turning other donuts. I tossed them in cinnamon sugar and they were -generally- good. Like pk says it’s easy to overwork self-rising dough so the last few batches came out tougher than than a teenaged grandma. In the future I’ll cut this dough into bars because it feels bad to waste dough and re-using scraps isn’t working out too well. I think I’m about maxed out on what I’ll call the tailgate model. It’s pretty enjoyable work but it’s not super productive being that I can’t even fry a dozen at a time. This weekend we’re going to design the kitchen layout. This is a pretty exciting step because my wife’s degree is all about it and I’m a giant prick about workflow.

From everything people with baking experience in this thread have said, one of the biggest challenges of the business is the repetition. Even if you aren't producing a lot of donuts, it seems like it would be valuable for you to make multiple batches every single day for weeks/months at a time and see if it's how you want to spend your time well after the novelty has worn off. Even if you throw them in the garbage, it's probably a better investment from a risk mitigation standpoint than just about anything else you can do right now, since setting up the whole operation and then realizing you actually hate making donuts for six hours a day will be a pretty expensive discovery. I'm getting the vibe that you like the problem-solving aspects of starting this business (e.g. figuring out the best way to make donuts, optimizing the process, designing the kitchen, sourcing the equipment, etc.) than the business itself. Which is kind of like having kids because you love newborn babies.

"Self-rising dough" isn't a thing. There's self-rising flour, which is called that because its leaveners are already added. I beg of you, if nothing else, to learn what things are, and what they're called

Did you not hear? But a mere two months of this and he has already reached "-generally- good" quality in his product! The dough-nut revolution is nigh! I bid you good day, sir/ma'am/whatever is appropriate, I said good day! Rationale, I apologize, the cheek of this malcontent, it's preposterous. Please continue as you were, you magnificent maestro of morning munchies!
