It
was bad enough when COVID- 19 closed schools in Philadelphia, US, in March.
Like a lot of students, Makyla Linder, 16, found herself getting bored. So she
started watching baking (烘焙) videos
and shows on TV and online. Soon, she started baking on her own.
Cupcakes
and chocolate-covered strawberries were her first creations.
"I
tried them on my friends when they came to my house," Linder sad. "I
also tried them on my family. They said my creations were good."
For
most children, that would have been enough. But Linder had bigger ideas. She
asked her mom - what if she started selling her baked goods?
With
the help of her mother, Linder got more baking supplies and equipment. She
started taking orders online. More people started hearing about her business.
Linder also started giving out business cards to make her company more
well-know.
She
also improved her baking as time went on. She researched new recipes (食谱) and learned good baking skills. She now sells chocolate-covered
cookies, chocolate apples and banana pudding. She has some customers who have
returned to her several times. They say her prices are good. She charges $15
for a dozen cupcakes or cake pops.
When
school reopened in September, Linder had to focus more on her studies. "I
wanted to do both, but I understand that school is much more important right
now," she said. However, she still watches cooking shows to get new ideas
for her business.
