“ I see Bake Bahamas on the international market having our products not only available on the websitebut hopefully in one of the major stores in the United States. Since reopening last month, we have alreadyexpanded. My daughter takes care of the Nassau operation, while I, along with another employee, operateout of Grand Bahama. I do most of the baking.”
Outten’s daughter, Tanya, the company’s creative director, outlined their plans to move outside of GrandBahama.
“Now, we are able to ship throughout the country and are specifically looking at growing our marketshare here in Nassau. I manage the Nassau operations and we’re utilizing tools like Facebook and a newwebsite to connect with customers throughout the country and the world,” according to Tanya.
Barbara Outten believes factors such as product quality and presentation are what sets Bake Bahamasapart from the competition.
Bake Bahamas offers a wide variety of cakes including rum cakes, fruit cakes, wedding cakes and anassortment of cupcakes.
“Our top three selling items are the fruit cakes, rum cakes and red velvet cakes,” Outten added.
She estimates more than $20,000 has been pumped into the business since it relaunched.
Bake Bahamas is already receiving quite a buzz. In fact, Outten was busily shoving some treats into theoven during the interview, as she prepares to display her mouth-watering goodies at tonight’s Little PinkParty, being held at the Wyndham Nassau Resort at 5 p.m.
