The Profitable Baker Podcast
The Profitable Baker — for bakers who mean business
with Annie Bennett
You bake beautifully. But running a profitable baking business? That’s where things can get messy.
Each week, business mentor and baking industry expert Annie Bennett helps home bakers move beyond “just getting by” and start building a real, sustainable business.
Inside every episode, you’ll hear practical strategies, honest conversations, and inspiring stories from bakers who’ve turned their passion into profit. From pricing and visibility to mindset and marketing, Annie breaks down what really works — without the fluff or overwhelm.
If you’re ready to feel confident, charge your worth, and finally think like a business owner (not just a baker), you’re in the right place.

The Ideal Client – And Why Getting This Right Changes Everything
Defining your ideal client isn’t about marketing jargon — it’s about making your business simpler, calmer, and more profitable.
In this episode, Annie explains why the right clients usually share the same problem, how solving that problem clearly improves your marketing and pricing, and why trying to serve everyone often leads to overwhelm.
You’ll also learn a simple way to identify your ideal client using your recent orders, so you can attract better-fit enquiries and build a more sustainable business.
