The Baker's Trade: A Recipe for Creating the Successful Small Bakery

If you look for a book that explains clearly and concretely the baker job and how to run a bakery business, buy this book. It's very useful and very practical.

So there are a few grammatical errors. But yoou can stil readd it and see that their is valuble information in it! I have worked in two bakeries and have decorated cakes professionally for over 8 years. This book is fabulous and very generous for Schat to share - it really gives you an inside look into the heart of a bakery... what it takes to run one well. I enjoyed learning from his expirience.

Schat has done a great job of explaining the large and small details of owning a small bakery. The book is sprinkled with ancedotes and information from other bakery/food business owners. A great starting place if you are thinking of opening a bakery.

A Baker's Trade offers practical advice to all who are interested in starting a bakery business. When I read the book, I feel like Schat is there beside me sharing his experiences in his tough-cookie voice. True, his style is not literary and some might feel that the book is not well-written because it's tone is so conversational. On the other hand, it's precisely the informal and conversational tone that convinces one that the contents were written by a real baker, not a writer. The advice given is authentic and the desire to help other would-be bakery operators is sincere. I highly recommend Schat's unselfish book to all who are interested in knowing how a real bakery operates.

If you are thinking about opening a bakery, this book is for you. Packed with information,anecdotes,and a great appendix, the whole task is laid out in a very easy to follow and easy to understand manner. I highly recommend this book
