Baking can be really expensive, especially for small bakery owners and people baking from home. Tools, pans, mixers, and ingredients cost a lot.
At the same time, many bakers have items they no longer use like cake molds or cookbooks that are still in great shape but just sit unused.
There wasn’t one trusted place where bakers could safely sell or buy these second-hand items. This meant that while some bakers struggled to afford supplies, others had items just collecting dust.
